"Gross up the other fellow.
Figure out what he expects and
don't do it." are two Birming-
Ihamesque orders.
One day Birmingham hunted
with two men out and the bases
filled, winning the game. The
team was a run behind and the
time-honored thing was to hit the
ball hard and pray for a hit. The
bunt upset the opposing team, the
pitcher went to pieces and had TO
be taken out.
Next day when the opponents
were looking for bunts Birming-
ham ordered his players to slug.
They knocked three pitchers from
the box that day.
Every man, from Lajoie, who is
playing the game of his wonder
full career, to the rawest recruit.
firmly believes they will play in
the worlds series next fall.
There isn't a factional differ
ence on the team. The players
are fighting for everything, but
what Is more to the point, they
are demanding and getting their
share on the paths, hitting close
to 800 as a team. and Joe Jack
son Is clouting the ball around
the .450 mark.

Johnny Eyers wins a game with
a Cincinnati base hit and calls IL
strategy. Some people would call
1t boneheaded luck.
Well, perhaps IL was strategy
for Evers.
But we don't see how anybody
working under c. Webb Murphy
has any time for strategy.
Talk may be cheap, but several
ball players who have tete-atteted
with umpires assure that our idea
Is erroneous.
