Excerpt from How to Pitch

Denton T. Young, whose marvelous no - hit and no - run game pitched for the Boston American League club during the season of 1904, followed by another no-hit and no-run game in 1908, but one player reaching first base, established him as one of the greatest men who ever placed his foot against the pitcher's plate; whose term of service has been so long that he enjoys the greatest reputation of any pitcher for continued good work in the box, is one Of the pitchers who has seldom been troubled with wildness, and his remarks upon accuracy in pitching are especially valuable.

There are young players in base ball who have what might be called natural control. Before they picked up a base ball for the first time, I venture to say that they could throw stones and pebbles more accurately than their companions, even if they were not able to throw them so far. Possibly every other boy in the neighborhood could throw a green apple swifter, but it was this particular boy, with his greater accuracy, who hit the mark.
