Enthusiasm Is Rampant

There Is much difference between
the colegians ballplaying and the
work of a professional" says Alan
Storke, the Pittsburg National infield-
er. who is completing a course at Har-
ward law school.
AT college a ballplayer plays the
game as he wants TO play IL himself,
and consequently there are very few
college players who can be classed
as steady men Many OF them are
brilliant players. but they also have
their bad days. Once snapped up by a
league club and taught how to play
pi OCCASIONAL baseball, different style
OF play is noticed at once.

liant play his teammates stand him
OIL his head. lug him about on their
shoulders and pat him on the back.
But what difference In professional!
baseball! A hair-raising play there
scarcely calls forth a comment from
his teammates.
This calm, practical way OF doing
things in the majors does much to
steady the player and make him
steady and coolheaded in all he does,
naturally making him a better player
than he coul dever be In college"
