"Newhouser, tall, blond and curly-haired, is a sort of right-handed Lefty Grove. He has a good fast ball that does things as it flutters across the letters on a batter's shirt. He has a good curve too, and during a couple of games in the spring training season, broke off a couple that were reminiscent of the curve of Tommy Bridges, which is regarded as Grade A-1." - Sportswriter Charles P. Ward in Baseball Magazine (September 1940)
