II think 1t Is a decided mistake for
any ball player to take ball in his |
hand during the OFF season" says Man |
ager Fred Tenney. 1t seems to me I
that ball playing during the winter /
time viii surely diminish the speed OF |
a player. Certainly. a player has his /
hands fun during the playing season, /
and il he desires to give his best ser /
vices 10 his club, and he is paid well |
for so doing, he ought to abstain COM |
pletely until he is ordered to report in I
the spring. Clubs cannot stipulate too 4
strongly to the players on their roster I
that such practice is entirely Unde- /
sirable.'
