ROWDY PLAYERS GONE

catcher Joe susden Says Ball Tosse,

Leaving aside all considerations as

progressed-and personally | think IL
has-there can be no argument over
the TACT that the class of players is
better now than 1t was in the old
days says Joe Sugden. the former

get in and play ball when they arrive
at the training camps There are
some of the fellows who naturally &C

but there are very few who put on

No big league scout nowadays will
recommend a player who has the rep
utation of being a steady drinker.
even though he doesn't lap them up
to excess. There is no room in the
leagues for the saloon boys, and it
doesn't take anyone long to learn that
baseball and booze are not good
friends.

the patronage of the entire American
and National leagues, he wouldn't be

every big Lacquer is teetotaler but
there are a lot of abstainers and a
vast majority will take only a couple
of glasses of beer day.
THE rowdy is passing from base
ball rapidly and the sooner he disap-
pears entirely the better it will be for
the game. Naturally the Improvement
in the big leagues is having its effect
on the smaller circuits. The minor
players realize that they have little
| chance of going up if their reputa-
tons are bad and, with scouts lurk-
ing around all the time, 1t pays to cut
out the rough stuff.
Baseball ought TO be a gent,eman's

the name of gentlemen are becoming
more numerous season after season.
