Once a big league magnate said that
baseball was in its infancy. Now another
comes 70 the front with the statement
that the day OF ideal baseball is ap-
preaching. The latter remark is an utter
hnce made by no other than Charles Webb
Murphy. who is president OF the Chicago
Cubs. Another one OF Murphy's ideas is
that in time all the high-class first base
men will be left-handers. Murphy says
he has no doubt as to the latter fact.
Hal Chase, Of the Yankees, is an example.
Murphy puts out. and declares that il
Hal were not left-handed he would not be
the sack tender he is.

then, you fresh kid, just hand
something up here-anywhere-

week"
The catcher signals; perhaps he
calls for fast one over the inside
corner and about knee-high. What
does the cub do? Well, the chances
are he'll bend a slow curve over
the heart of the plate, and the vet
eran whales it 40 miles from Mon
day.
I've seen it happen time and
again. My attention was first
called to it by an old manager,
who insisted the batetrs cast a
spell over the colt pitchers.
I've talked to pitchers, some of
them battle-scarred veterans of
the firing line, and nearly every
one has experienced the sensation.
they insist that when breaking in
they could no more obey the
|catcher's signal at times than they
could force league ball through a
hole made to fit marble.
l suppose it's a plain case of
rattles, but some call it hypnotism.
The absolute indifference of the
Iold-timer at bat, his sarcastic talk
and deliberate actions tend to send
the recruit up higher than Gill
lroy's kite, and instead of placing
the ball where the catcher wants
lit, he is apt to hand it up where
it is duck soup for the batter.
