ers often tire of their work on the dia-
nond. That Is why ! ave introduced
such pastimes As tennis. handball. push

and keeps the players at work at the
same time.
II IL never necessary to do much In
structlng with the veteran ball players.
They know what to do. as u rule. ana
The thing Il to get them In condition to
do II. with the youngsters It Is DIFF
terent. They have to be tried u IN
many ways so as to see what real abll-
lty they possess. The best way to dc
this IL to get them Into a practice game
and they will show what they can do
uncon scious1y, Often a y~oungster Will
be very nervous ut the start. and to put
! him at his ease I have to place him In
a r~oeit,on where he IN not expecting
criticism. The first thing I o for In
a young Rail- player Is speed. III he IL
| slow there IL little use OF his starting,
| unless he happens to be n catcher or
| pitcher. Speed counts more than every
| thing else In baseball. II 10 the diner

Another valuable asset to a recruit Is

now to slide when they first break In,

successfuI slide Is the nook or fallaway

one foot into the bag and throw the

hs cannot touch anything but the spiked

regular season. We also had compare.
lively no trouble on account of the play
ers being injured. Everybody said We
were lucky, but that did not cover the
case entirely. The Giants were In ex-
csilent condition.
Several years ago It occurred to me
that most ball players that were injured
werc hurt whilo sliding to tho bases.
There must be q reason Tor this. so ]
figured that they did not know how TO
side to escape injury. I then decided
70 nave a sliding pit built on tho train
ing grounds. and that IL largely respoa-
Gibls for the Giants winning the pennant
last year. 1t will be remembered that
we stole moro bases than any club IN
the league by a big margin. Other clubs
were having men laid UP every day from
aiding accidents while the Giants SUI
fered no Inconvenience whatever II our
players had not known 10 to slide the
Giants would have been crippled and we
would not have won. II can BE- seen
therefore what an effect that part Of
spring training has on the season.
The public seems to have q mistaken
idea that spring training consists of
drilling the players into certain plays.
That il merely incidental. The main
idoe Is 10 get them IN physical condition
to stand q grind OF six months. l al

breaks of curve balls. This takes time.
