Training for Prep and College Baseball Played
No. 1---Coach Heisman on Throwing and Bundn|
By "Bud'' Eishe,

ford you much consolation, you'll
find. When l caution chaps about
throwing too hard at this time of
the year they often tell me they
never had anything the matter with
their arm in their life-as though
that was any indication that they
were superhuman and would never
have anything the matter with
them if they kept up the pace!
make 1t a rule to warn them on
this point about a dozen times, and
very emphatically each time, even
before single ball has been thrown
by any Of them-sometimeS away
along in December. In fact | have
found that it pays to head them
off from the foolish SNOWFALL throw
ing business before the snow ever
flies, If you can possibly get to
them.
In spite of all my pains and eau
ton, though, I always find some in
February and March who come
around asking what's good for q
sore arm. They were the ones who
wouldn't believe that an ounce Of
prevention was worth ten pounds
of cure. Take it from one who has
been all along there for quarter of
a century and who caught per-
manent glass arm himself through
bull medicines" and DON'T
THROW HARD for weeks after
starting
7 UNLESS controlled and overruled
by those who know better,
most Youngsters will tackle the
batting proposition about the same
way they go at their throwing.
They are eager to see how much
farther and harder they can hit the
ball than they did the summer be-
fore. and they are keen to show
what sluggers they are. It is the
Impotence OF youth "slow and
sure" never seems to enter their
heads.
Now. the very best way to pol
ish up your lamps" and get your
eye on a ball again is to start in
with bunting. Do nothing but bunt
and for awhile bunt at everything
high or low, out or in; see if you
can follow the course OF the ball
with eye and bat, with hand and
foot. Let your pitcher throw them
easily at first and then a little
harder with each succeeding day
After you can block them, no mat
ter where he throws them, see If
you can place them. Don't ever let
them go back to pitcher, and don't
let them pop up In the air.
That kind of bunt is not only a
fizZle and a failure, but it's worse

the opposition to the schedule is

would be complicated matter for
the four clubs that are getting the
worst of it to agree on a schedule

but for one thing because it calls
for one early trip that will be three
weeks in length and that Will take
the club to every city in the circuit.
This is hard on the team and hard
on attendance.
Atlanta's kick on the schedule is
we'll known.

NJ EXT seasonthis farce of a sched-
ule committee should be done
away with-especially if it is to
serve as a means of loading the
schedule. The idea of letting four
league presidents draw d schedule
for eight clubs is a fine joke. Either
an impartial man should be hired
TO devise a first class schedule. or
else the entire league should be
constituted a schedule committee
and eight schedules should be pre-
pared, one by each club member
and submitted to the schedule
meeting.

NEW YORK, Feb 14-Willie
" Mccartney, the active man
ager Of Luther McCar-
ty, honored this burg with a
visit yesterday to confer with Pro-
moter Billy Gibson about ten
round battle between Luther and
Bombardier Wells, the English
champion. The two Willies met in
the Garden but only conferred.
Mccartney made only q few mod
est demands for McCarty's share Of
the purse. A clear title to the
Garden, he said off hand, would
just about suit him and Luther.
Gibson, not having other than q
fatherly interest in the edifce. was
forced to refuse the request. Well,
they chatted three hours and TWEEN
ty-seven minutes and then sudden
ly remembered that it was dinner
time. So the talk fest was adj
journed until some time today,
when negotiations will be resumed.
Outside Of hearing Gibson eX-

pleasant time was had watching a
little cinnamon bear named Teddy.
Teddy kept walking around as far
as his chain would let him. 1t was
real joyful to pat Teddy. espe-
cially when stranger lowered
near, and to tell him (Teddy) what
q nice bear he was This we did for
three hours and twenty seven min
uteS. and must say twas rather u

Joimes M8loney, who discovered
the Bombardier in India and talked
the latter into blowing his red coat
and becoming q battler, was also
present Joines also petted the
bear. Joimes is anxious to let the
Bombardier meet McCarty, and
couldn't understand why Mccartney
was 80 careless with the fieeting
hours.
II sye. l cawn't understand is
dilatoriness," Joimes murmured
eighty-seven times: and then he
evaporated.
We distinctly refuse to print
what Billy Gibson said, and Glib
son has a reputation that must be
sustained. So there we will act
as the sustainee.
The most absorbing part of the
afternoon was when Mccartney told
about a big bettor who cleaned up
$500 on McCarty's victory over
Palzer The day after the battle
the bettor called upon Mccartney
and inquired for McCarty. The lat
