Carr Bans Spitball Artists From 1910 Indianapolis Staff
Manager Carr declares there will be no spitball specialists on the Indianapolis team next year. Cheney, drafted by the Reds, impressed with the spit curve but his presence would have left catcher Howley at risk. Bowerman notes Cheney is hard to catch due to the curve, while Clymer doubts any net positive from the pitch. The season opener between Champions and ex-Champions was rained out by poor weather and a large fair crowd failed to gather.
