A LITTLE BASEBALL
YARN NOW AND THEN
BY HUGH FULLERTON.

Barry Mccormick. who Is going to
manage the Milwaukee club this sea-
son, never could hit a lot. The odd
thing about Barry is that he looks like
a natural hitter. He stands up to the
plate, swings freely. chops the ball
wit ha quick, free movement. and hits
II well-but apparently he does not
time Ii To the right spot. I think the
trouble Is that just as he starts -
swing his bat he gives II little half
swing.
But that isn't the story. Barry knew
he couldn't hit. and he wanted to inn
prove. He practiced batting as often
as he could get any one TO pitch to
him. One winter when he lived In
Pendleton, In lie east end OF Cincin-
natl, he purchased patent pitcher.
The machine was madeto hurl balls
over the plate, either curving or
straight, at the will OF the operator.
Barry set the machine up In the back
yard at home, put up a screen TO stop
the ball, and kept II a secret. He
would set the machiueto pitch curve,
take his place at the plate, jerk a
string and wallop the ball.

On the Michigan track squad
this year there Is a large num-
Der OF men from the high
