A Girl Baseball
Pitcher,” from the High Point Review,
June 23, 1921
Much is being said in the newspapers about the achievement
the other day of the pitcher on a New York city high school girls’ baseball
team. The girls played a team of boys of the school, and the pitcher, Anna
Clarkson by name, did not yield a single hit and lead her team to a great and
glorious victory.
Some people may claim that the boys were poor batters, or
that they were unusually gallant. The suggestion has been made that the girl is
unusually pretty, and that the boys kept their eyes on her instead of trying to
keep it on the ball.
But we refuse to believe anything of the kind. We are going
to believe that Anna is a phenomenal young baseball pitcher, and we are also
going to hope that she will make a big league team in time if she wants to do
so.
