WHY YOUNG PLAYERS FAIL.
Failure at Watch and Learn Sends
 Many Back to the Minors.

Crazy" Schmidt, the most eccentric character Chicago ever contributed to organized baseball, always returned to the semi professional field in the Windy city when out of a job, says T. E. Sanborn. One summer, after few weeks as minor league manager he was sitting on Jimmy Callahan's bench watching a youngster working for the Logan Squares with indifferent success. After a particularly bad inn ing, Schmidt jumped up and said to Callahan Let me finish this game. They don't make pitchers any more, only throwers" In that sentence Schmidt hit upon one of the chief req sons for the scarcity of young baseball talent fit for recruiting the major leagues. not only in pitchers, but. for the same reason, in other positions. Not one in ten of the young men who come up from the minors has made much of a study of baseball. conse- quentIy not one in twenty makes good, and he usually does that because he has the baseball instinct born in him. He does many things right without knowing. exactly why.
 Time was when thes young player breaking into fast company had to

New York. Aug. 25.-Aside from the interest centered around the attack on Canadian Pacific by the bears yesteT- day there was little to make the stock market interesting.

Eastern Connecticut Champs Win Out In Ninth On Errors By Visitors-MarIand Holds Hospital to Three Hits Greenway Twirls Steady Game

learn baseball to hold job That was before the days of big squads and lots of substitutes. The excess baggage carried by clubs a dozen years ago was small compared to the prosperous present, when 1t has become necessary to limit teams to 25 players to prevent carrying a small army of bench warmers. In former days, if a young ster gave great promise, but was little shy on experience, he might, if he was lucky, get a bench-warmer's place on a major league team. But such a man. if a pitcher, for instance, had to make constant use of his eyes, ears and brains, for 1t was cinch that after few weeks he would be sent into a game that was hopelessly lost, for the purpose of discovering how much he had learned. If he showed progress, the manager gave him an other week or two to watch and listen, then shot him into a tougher spot and expected him to make good, or come close to it. If he failed in that and one or two more tests, he was through, so far as the manager was concerned, and went back whence he came.
 Today the position of bench warmer has become such a sinecure and so apparently permanent that the young
 est generation of players is beginning to regard it as a desirable job. Once they attain it their ambition Is satis- fled. They are content to sit on the bench six months of a season, finish ing out a lost game once a fortnight or so. and earning the rest of their salaries pitching to the batsmen of their own team during preliminary practice or exhibition games on off days, The same is true of other posi- tions in less degree. There is g. grow ing class of young players who are perfectly content to act the role of substitute for life is assured a living salary during that time, with no chance to shine except occasionally as pinch hitter or in case 8 regular fielder Is injured, requiring them to perform on the diamond for a few days.
