BASEBALL SCOUTS
KEEP THE GAME
important Part Played by These Keen
Eyed ferrets After New Material.

It's the baseball scout who keeps
the game going. We all read about
the players, the umpires and the mo
guls-they are all well known to US
by name: But it's the scout after all
who makes baseball pay. With the
growth of the big league game has
come this most important official
Sometimes he is an old time player
sometimes a man who has an eye for
budding stars. He is the man who
goes to the smaller leagues, the towns
with independent teams, and the prai-
ries where games are played. He is
quick to spot a youth with promise OF
greater things.
There are many humorous sides to
the scout question. There is George
Huff, for instance, the man who has
brought many a fine player to the
Chicago Cubs. He is the famous coach
of the university of Illinois nine-the
man who developed Jake Stahl. Carl
Lundgren, Fred Beebe. Pfeffer, Roth
geb and Butter at the school and sent
them afterward to the big leagues.
Huff is well known figures around
the small circuits He is always snoop-
ing around and frequently cops off a
likely player. Only a couple of years
ago he found Pitcher Cole at Bay
City, Mich, and this young man is
likely to be the star twirler of the
Cubs this season.
HUFF tells some OF his experiences
when cornered, although this is gener-
ally a hard feat to accomplish. .'Once
in a while I drop in an out of the
way town to watch a game, he says
Il think that I don't know anybody
there, and this makes me glad, be-
cause you can get better line on
players when they're not showing off
for you. But suddenly I notice a stir
on the bench. Some fellow points his
finger at me, and then l know I'm spot

what might have been a fine ex-
hibition of a game often results in a
farce from that time on. Somebody

Comiskey lost out on one fine first
basenan because he didn't take the
advice of one of his scouts. a few
years ago. Eddie Welsh, who combines
his scouting job with running the res
taurant end of Ravinia park in Chi
cago, came across youthful first
baseman on one of his tours. This
mans name was Hunter, and. if we re-
member correctly, his home was al
Chillicothe, O.
Hunters playing and batting made a
great impression on Welsh and he ad-
yised Comiskey to get hold of the
youngster as soon as he returned to

had Jiggs Donahue on first and Isoel
ready to substitute for him. so Com

Nineteen Hits and Twenty Runs Beat Windham High
Fletcher the Big Performer-Lord Gets Near Homer
Academy Now Leading the League.

All that Windham High or Will
mantle had to offer in the way of box
material was ruthlessfy slaughtered on
the Academy diamond Saturday after
noon by Captain Murray and his N
test, 20 to s. As these two teams play
ed a 16 to t3 game in the previous
meeting, which was a Windham High
victory, they look safe to hold the East
ern Connecticut Interscholastic league
record for runs scored-57 in two
games is certainly going some.
When the contest was all over Sat
urday scarcely anything of it could re-
main in the minds of the spectators
but confused blur of tired Windham

the choice assortment of singles. dou
bles and triples poled out by the swing

They opened on Lefty Thompson in the
first inning, scoring four runs on 6

record for the three innings that
Thompson lasted. Enter another lefty
named Kelley.

They didn't do a thing to Kelley,
Kelley from Windham High
after one hitless, scoreless inning in
which they sized ham UP. After that
the fusiilade started on his offerings
resulting in ten more runs and ten more
hits in five innings
Leading them all in the smashing
hitting was First Baseman Bob Fletch-
err, who cracked out three timely dou-
bles and a single. Captain Murray and
Pitcher Croker came next with three
hits apiece, Murrays being a triple, q
double and a single, and Croker's two
doubles and a single. Catcher Lord lift
ed one over the dirt pile in left field
that was an easy homer and good for
the box of candy from the downtown
but ''Lordy" fell over the third base
bag and lost the candy when he was
anchored at the third station. Lord
also contributed a double to the seven
in the game.
Fielding details were submerged in
the heavy swatting, but Second Base
man Walien of Windlfam deserves hon
ora BILE mention for a backward run

hit. For the last inaing the Academy
put in it's russell battery, Capt. Muir
