TRAINERS BIG HELP TO
MODERN BALL PLAYERS


With the advancement Of baseball as
the world moves round there have been
many innovations, and possibly one of
the most important of these is the ad-
dition Of an expert trainer to the staff
of all major and many minor league
clubs.
To the uninltiated the word trainer"
does not carry much weight, A die
tionary would interpret trainer as
one who trains others" But in base
ball that meaning would not adequate
ly describe the duties of the trainer.
Old baseball players win tell how
they used to go to the clubhouse after
the game, remove their uniforms, don
their street clothes and go home or to
a hotel for supper. There was no
shower bath for them, no steam or va
por baths, and, most important of all,
no trainer.
A pitcher whose arm was sore was
compelled to get witch hazel and arnica
and rub himself. A catcher, infelder
or outhelder who sustained a cut or
bruise wrapped it with tire tape or APP
piled some simple home remedy. He
went to a physician if the injury was
serious, such as a fracture or d deep
cash.
Things Have Changed.
How things nave changed! Today
the ball player, lauded by the populace
and pampered by his owner and man
ager, hurries to the clubhouse follow
ing the game, where the trainer and
often one or more assistants are wait
ing. The shower baths await the dIa-
mond star, n If the trainer advises it
he win use the yapor bath,
After he comes u of the bath the
trainer is there, and If he has a sore
arm or any of his muscles are weary
he reclines on the rubbing board
where he gets treatment which Is as
good as an expert masseur could give
him. He doe not ever have to supply
the witch hazel and arnlca or whatever
preparation is used.
And should the man who can com
mand the plaudits of thousands every
day have a cut or bruisel Gracious,
how terriblel The wound is thorough

to prevent blood poisoning. And it is
