Vince Moravek, a new hurler, gets plenty of power behind his sidearm inshoot that, off and on, completely baffled Boston University hitters. However, he showed a propensity for wildness against the Terriers that got him into trouble a couple of times, notably in the second ining...
Pitcher Joe Hatten, a 28-year-old southpaw, looks like the nearest thing to a freshman Dizzy Dean. He has a deadly sidearm motion that should baffle right-handed hitters, has a curve ball that can turn a corner. The Dodgers thought enough of him before he entered the Navy to give up a seasoned pitcher, Van Lingle Mungo, in a straight trade. Like most southpaws, Hatten is regarded with some suspicion as a wild man. Already some tall stories are being told about him. Sample: once when his team was just one run ahead at Minneapolis, he deliberately walked...
Last week the Philadelphians met and passed their big test. They went through, around and over Ex-champion Washington's spongy line for a lopsided 37-to-7 victory. In Frank Filchock, who pitches a sidearm looping ball with deadly accuracy, the Redskins had the league's best passer with a .593 average. But the Washington line caved in. Their prize passer was hard rushed, spent most of the afternoon sitting down...

Farmer Johnson shuffled awkwardly around the mound, his long right arm winding up the historic sidearm delivery. The first pitch was low and inside, the second a called strike. Ruth popped the third into right field, the fourth was ball two. Then the crowd let out a mighty roar as the Babe walloped the ball up, up, up into the right-field stands. Fourteen pitches later, he clouted another, trotted around the bases...
