...curve delivery in base-ball pitching, says the Philadelphia Press, was the greatest change ever introduced into the game, and in these days, when an old-time straight pitcher would be knocked out of the box in one inning, there are a good many claimants for the credit of originating it. College men, with the exception of those from Harvard, always insist that Avery brought it to light at Yale, while the Harvard men, who naturally would refuse to see a curve of two feet in a Yale pitcher's delivery, incline to the opinion that Mann, of Princeton...
