Ed Hanlon has original ideas about the
exercise OF diamond athletes In the
teeth of a raZor-edged wind on Tuesday
the Orioles were cavOrting around the
Baltimore diamond in game of SCRUB.
After an hours batting and fielding prac-
tice they spanned the ground FOR three
Inns returned to the clubhouse, and
their husky shapes were kneaded by The
emotional massage mitts Of Dave Horn
Hanlon is a believer in the heroic me

Amos Rusie will stand as a sturdy ex-
ample of what can be accomplished by
STANDARDIZATION and hard work, says
Bill joyce. when Amos was tried by Jack
Glasscock in SO his speed compelled the
neryiest batsmen in the league 10 break

and predicted that Ite big HoOsiers wing
would write many a chapter In baseball
history. Rusie was an ambitious lad,

before reporting time and when the
other players came around they found
Amos. ball in hand, his sleeves furled to
the biceps. pitching the sphere against
the backstop fence. There were plenty
of young Americas scampering around
the ground. and Amos had them on his
staff as scouts. When the ball would hit
the backstop the kids would scramble
after II with the eagerness Of a hound
pointing a bird. Occasionally u bunch
OF fans would turn out of mornings 10
watch Amos work. Amos always had
catcher's glove on hand and put the fans

would pass the glove along the line till
he tired out every fan who had the nerve
TO catch him. A few weeks of this hard
work gradually tanned Amos erratic
wing, and before the season WAS half
over he had command Of both speed and
curves. When Amos rounds 10 form
every season his curved ball Is just as
true and consistent as his speed. I have
often seen him shove a curve over the
plate after the batsman had worked him
