Hub Pernoll'S Past
Is Being Revealed
BY PAUL HALE BRUSkE.

LOUISVILLE, KY. March 2S.-One
of the results OF Joe Sugden's pres
ence on the Detroit club has been the
revealing of some OF the past acts OF
Hub" Pernoll, former Tiger. who
went through a number OF amusing
escapades in the big league last year
but Is now back In the far west where
Sugden knew him.
THE funniest thing that happened
to Pernoll was his clash with the u.
s. Customs authorities" said Sugden.
"Pernoll was in Vancouver, playing a
series when some OF his mates got
him to lay In a stock OF silks, fresh
from China and at a very low price.
They all bought and wrapped the
silks around themselves out of sight,
when the time came to smuggle them
into the United States, on the swing
round the circuit
We'll, you know how roly-poly
Hub" was built. When he had
wound about eighteen dollars worth
OF cheap silks around his body, he
was simply a sight The other fell
lows all got past the customs officers
with ease but poor Hub was hailed
and had to go In and be searched.
The bleacherites got onto the in
cident, all over the league and every
time he walked out to pitch some
body would ask him how much silk
he was carrying around, under his
shirt"

The Value of Coaching; by Manager John McGraw

corporation smoothly any more
than any one great player could win
a pennant for his team.
Teamwork Is not necessarily the re-
suit OF prearranged plans, as many
baseball lovers seem to think. Real
teamwork is a combination OF quick
thinking and execution. In limited
time such as a play on the diamond
occurs in, the men must think togeth-
er, each knowing what he must do
and what his fellow will do 10 bring
about the desired result. When every
man knows his mates Will think as
fast as he does and execute his work
exactly right, We have teamwork.
Say the pitcher is to pitch fast
ball outside the plate TO left-handed
batter to make him hit TO left field;
IL the manager signals the shortstop
TO move toward third and play deep
TO stop a ball hit in his direction, II
is not teamwork II is one-man work.
On the other hand. II the shortstop
appreciates the situation, gets the
catcher's signal. and then moves 10
the proper position, 1t is teamwork.
Another instance frequently occur
ring:
The team in the field is two runs
ahead and there is a runner on base.
II the outfielders have had experience
they would at once move back and
play a deep field. They would realize
that a single could score only one
run under any circumstances, and
would play II safe and be ready TO
hold hit to a single.
Should they play too close and at
tempt to catch a line drive there
would be chance for the ball to get
by for two or possibly three bases,
breaking up the game. II manager
had to direct outfielders in this re-
spect IL would not be teamwork. II
the players took the action on their
own initiative il would be teamwork.
The idea that a series OF signals
precede every bit OF teamwork is er-
roneous. Without knowledge, based
on experience and physical ability, no
amount of signaling could make
player do the proper thing. On the
other hand, with the knowledge and
experience, he would not require the
signals.

A History Lesson

As the scholars conned their books !;
But outside the bees were cumming
In the leafy. sunlit hooks;
And the teacher, in his kindness
Smiled, in knowing. gentle way.
For he knew the boys were dreaming
OF the coming hours of play.
Then he scowled with frown ferocious
AS the history class he called:
And he scanned the lads precocious
While his boyhood he recalled.
Who defeated great Napoleon?
Now let any boy reply"
And as one those happy youngsters
Shouted out, Why, 1t was Ty!"

left-handed-the combination affected

The only infelder who has looked
worth while as a speculation Is this
boy, Tutwiler, OF Hattiesburg, on
whom Hughle Jennings tried In vain
to get an option. He IL a lefthand
hitter and is a very pretty fielder. He
can, in fact, whip the ball TO first

most infielders can do 1t by winding
