Scout Has Played Leading
Part in BdsebQll's PROGRESS

The scout has played a leading part
in b~aseball's progress. Ten years ago
the scout was almost unknown. Today
the Sherlock Holmes of the diamond
plays a prominent role in a pennant-
winning club. Much of the success of
a team depends on the ability of the
scout or scouts
To the uninitiated, the position of
baseball scout is alluring. 1t Is the
duty of the scout to travel from coast
to coast during the summer months,
with nothing to do save take in games.
He gets a fat salary and his expenses.
Should he discover a youngster who
suddenly develops into a star, 1t is al
most certain the club owner in ques-
ton will give him a bonus. Like all
other positions which require much
travelling, the job is not as easy as it
looks.
Many present-day stars were picked
up IN the rough by the scouts, and
nodded into the great players they now
are. Many a good story is related by
the scouts of their dealings with minor
league wners The mention that a
big league scout is in town causes the
price of ball-players to soar. The own
ers are trying TO get the top-notch
price, while the scout likes to make

hit with his employer by getting the
player as cheaply as possible.
A well-known big league scout tells
an interesting tale of how " slipped
n over on a minor league club owner.
The scout dropped in unexpectedly, and
was pleased by the work of an out
fielder. He watched him for several
days, and his belief In the players
ability was strengthened. He did not
give the owner the slightest idea as to
which player he was after.
There was an inflelder on the club
inclined to the sensational, but he was
erratie and not up to major league
class. The scout asked for a price on
the inhelder.
After much discussion he took the
player on trial, the club to pay SO 5000
for him If he made good.
That evening the player accompanied
the scout to the depot, as did the man
ager, The player was to return with
the scout for a trial in the majors.
Just before the train pulled in the
scout flashed a roll of bills and said: ~
would be willing to take a $500 chance
on that y%oungster you have in the out
field" The owner agreed and went
home satisfied. Two weeks later the
infelder was returned. The outfielder

that left-handed pitchers must neces-

The averages don't show it.
A comparison of the records of the

the major leagues with those of the
five best Iefe-handers shows that the
control of the southpaws is almost as
good as that of the starboard Fingers.
National League right-handers were
somewhat steadier than left-handers,
and the port hurlers of the National
