SPRING PHENOMENA NOW
SEEN in BASEBALL RANKS
With Coming of Spring and Opening of Baseball
Season Many Players Will Excite Wonder in

who seeks to acquire fame in the
grand old game of baseball.
Baseball scouts will tell YOU that
there are any number Of minor league
stars who are dismal failures in the
big show. any number of crack anna

huge jokes in the minors. In these
same circles may be any number of
players who do not appear to have

of them make good in faster COM.

Baseball managers nave decidedly

pany. Some baseball leaders much
prefer the games in the late fall. while
others look on the gentle spring as
the ideal time to look over the new
recruits. Naturally every ,youngster
is differently constituted, has a diff
ferent disposition. Consequently some
very funny incidents take place in the
career of every youngster breaking
into fast company p
There is the chesty yeungster, who
by his manner and action let's it be
known that he intends to burn up the
big show. Any youngsterE7who so an

handicap before he gets under way.
Such a stand always makes the vet

stars on the same team with : him.
Quite often players of this sort fail
to stick in fast company simply be-
cause they lack the initiative. Others
soon get over this feature and show
the ability they really possess. Then
there is the willing, cheerful recruit
who doesn't think the baseball world
revolves about him as an axis. who
realizes the veterans know more about
the sport than he does. who is always
willing to learn and anxious to be
corrected Any recruit with such a
disposition is sure to get away with
good lead. for the older players are
always anxious and willing to help
him and make his job of sticking all

In commenting on chesty players,

felt by talk and manner; while on
the ball field he had more to say than
the other eight players. and the team
in question did not lack ginger. His
line of talk was not only abusive, but
very personal. He told pitchers like
Addie Joss, Bill Donovan. Walter
Johnson and quite a few other cracks
that they wouldn't be in the league
next year. He informed Ty Cobb that
he was slower than a switch engine,

This is the era of the spring phenom
in baseball.
Now that the spring training trips
are on the fans will hear much con-
corning the cold weather. wonders.
Since the close of the 1909 season
major and minor league clubs have
been signing youthful recruits with
reckless abandon. All kinds OF nice
things have been said about the new
comers shortly they are to get the
long looked for chance to deliver the
goods.
The success that various managers
have had with young players in the
last thre or four years has doomed
the stock of young blood consider
ably. OF course, the veteran with his
experience is all the more valuable II
he still possesses the speed and ability
he showed as a yOungster-still, every
manager is always on the alert for
promising material among the raw re-
cruitS. ~
The old saying that many are call
ed, but few chosen, fits in mighty we'll
in these days of modern baseball.
Every year hundreds and hundreds Of
ambitious young ball players are sign
ed up for the bush and big league
circuits, but few are fortunate
enough to deliver the goods and win
a berth. From now until the open
ing of the. season in the. various
leagues it will be a bitter fight to the
finish. The ambitious youngster will
exert all his energy to outshine the
veteran of many strenuous cam
paign, while the old standbys will
bring into play every trick they know
to prove that no youngster has the
class to Dust them from their position
as a regular.
1t has been the same old story for
years, the untiring energy and ambi-
ton of youth pitted against the skill
and knowledge acquired only by ex-
perience. Each season, however. us
ually witnesses the overthrow of some
former idol and the installation of
some hitherto unknown youth in mis-
place. Baseball fame is truly little
more than a fleeing fancy. One sea-
son you are a big hero: the next sea-
son you may be just as large lemon
It's no easy task for any player to
make good in the major or minors.
It's a rough road. full of all kinds of
obstacles, that are only overcome by
a display of nerve and perseverance
that simply refuses to be denied. It's
not always the player with the most
ability who creates the biggest stir
in league circles. OF course, ability
is the one big essential. but with it
he must have nerve confidence, gray
matter. and last. but not least, he
must be impervious to criticism.
1t is doubtful if any person before
the public is subjected to more abuse
than the men connected with the great
national game. The politician isn't
excepted in this classification, either.
The public seems to regard it as a
divine right to criticise or abuse the
ball player as it sees fit. The young
ster who at the very start of his ca
reer can realize that it is the public
who pays the salary, that the public
has the right to enjoy itself as it sees
fit, will have overcome one of the
big obstacles that confront any one
