Text | [from Chadwick's column] A Boston writer, in analyzing Nichols' pitching in the Decoration Day game between the Boston and Pittsburg teams, states that Nichols pitched only 100 balls in the nine innings he played in, and of these only twenty-four were called balls. This shows surprising accuracy in command of the ball in delivery, and that is one of the most important elements of success in skilful strategic work in the box. Out of seventy odd balls sent in fairly over the plate but four yielded clean hits. This is evidence of wonderfully effective pitching. |
