THE VALUE OF COACHING
By JOHN j. McGRAW.

Teamwork on the diamond is nothing
but a combination of knowledge and abil-
ity. Its value cannot be estimated in
figures With it we have everything;
without it, nothing.
One reason teamwork is hard to attain
is because il requires both of the neces-
stiles enumerated. Either will not do.
Any number Of players possess physical
ability, but through ineXperience are
lacking in knowledge of the games fine
points If told to make play. they can
execute it beautifully, but they do not
possess that initia tive which is shown by
unhesitating execution. Plays arise that
call for instructive action, which comes
only from experience.
1t is hard to say which is the more val
liable. physical ability or knowledge. The
man with ability has the best chance as
he can acquire knowledge if he is
thinker. but the veteran with the knOwi-
edge has little chance to develop ability
that is lacking. His day is gone
Many big league players are retained
because of the knowledge they possess.
They may not be so fast as some of the
youngsters. but they can direct plays in
a wa that would not occur to less eX-
TerienCed men.
To illustrate this | mention the case Of
Harry Steinfeldt. the CUP third baseman
Harry may not be as fast as he was ten
years back. but Manager Chance will go
a long way before he can get a man who
understands the games fine points as
we'll as Steinfeldl With him on third
the infield has confidence that a play in
his territory will be ma lie as it should
be They know he will do the right thing
at the right time, and will assist in car
rving out any play that may he started
across the diamond. An inexperienced
player on third would cause so much
anxiety that the effectiveness of the
whole machine would he impaired.
Teamwork in baseball is the same as
teamwork in any other business. What
corporation could succeed unless\its men
understood each other and worked to-
EetherH
The Washington herald., 1911-04-06

One individual star could not run
corporation smoothly any more than any
one great player could win pennant for
his team.
Teamwork is not necessarily the result
cf prearranged plans, as many baseball
lovers seem to think Real teamwork Is
a combination of quick thinking and
execution. In a limited time such as
play on the diamond occurs in the men
must think together, each knowing what
he must do and what his fellow will do
tc bring about the desired result When
every man knows his mates will think
as fast he does and exc cute his work
exactly right. we have teamwork.
Say the pitcher is to pitch a fast ball
outside the plate to a left-handed batter
to mske him hit to eft field. If the
manager signals the shortstop to move
toward third and play deep to stop a
ball hit in his direction, it Is not team
work: it is one-man work. On the other
hand. If the shortstop appreciates the
situation. gets the catcheTs signal, and
then moves to the proper position, it is
teamwork
Another instance frequently occurring
The team in the field is two'runs ahead
and there is a runner on base. If the
outfielders have had experience they
would at once move back and play a
Gecp nel0. Iney WOulC realize thdt 4
single could score only one run under
any circumstances, and would play it
safe and be ready to mold hit to a SIN
gle.
Should they play too close and attempt
to catch line drive there would he a
chance for the ball to get by for two or
possibly three bases, breaking up the
game If a manager had to direct out
fielders in this respect ii would not be
teamwork. If the players took the &C
tron on their own initiative it would he
teamwork.
The idea that a series of signals pre-
cedes every bit of teamwork is erroneous.
Without knowledge, based on experience
and physical ability, no amount of sig
mailing could make a player do the proper
thing. On the other hand, with the
knowledge and experience, he would not
require the signals.

some of the old-timers, in fact, all of

For II you do not like work you will

ITO what other things do ! attribute
my success?
First, had a good. free pitching mo-
ton. l got my body into my swing and
saved my arm. Many pitchers make their
arms do too much work. They do not
draw back the body with the back swing,
nor let IL go forward with the delivery.
They hold the body stiff and use only
the arm. Take Leifield, of Pittsburg, a
great left-hander He uses only his arm.
think that he would be another Wad-
dell if he bent his back when he drew
back to throw and followed his step
when he delivered. He will not last lons
IL he does not change his delivery. II
you remember Waddel was always best
when he was bending his back. His team
mates would cry Bend your back, Rube
when he was pitching. When he did not
bend Il they knew he was not doing his
best work.
..I believe in much walking and run

players. Walking and running. especial

Eschew Beer and Tobacco
if You Would Have
Long Career.
Run and Walk Plenty, for
1t Means More
Strength.

ITO the youngster who wants a long
life in baseball, would say eschew beer
and tobacco" says Cy Young, of the
Cleveland team.
Walk and run plenty. Get good throw
ing and fielding, and batting motions by
watching approved masters at work. You
must suit your own physique, but take
pattern after the man who most close
ly approaches you in build and action.
First follow nature. If you are a free
hitter no use in copying some careful
hitter. Pick a man who is a free hitter
and good one, and copy from him. All
good batters come pretty close to stand
ing alike; all good pitchers have much
the same motion, a free body swing: all
good men on ground balls get at them
pretty much in the same way. There
will be slight variations due to tempera-
ment and to structure, but the grand
underlying principal is the same.
. In the end, if a young man of aver
age good physique keeps away from
drink and works hard, he will surely
find success in America
Pitchers are lazy and run and walk
too little. The most that any of them
want TO do is to reduce flesh a bit and
get their arms fit Now, walking and
running make strength. All players
should take long winter walks and runs.
Never mind a little cloud or a little rain.

Life Is so arranged that there is close
resemblance between infancy and old
age. BY this is not meant the mental
but the physical faculties. For example,
the organ of digestion is the most diff
cult thing the child has to contend with,
as il is that of the old person.
When a person gets past middle life his
power of digestion decreases, and con-
tinues to grow weaker, and for that rea-
san so many old people are habitually
