BASEBALL SIGNS
 ARE VERY SIMPLE
 SAYS TYRUS COBB

Many persons are under the tmpres- sion that the signals used by baseball teams are complicated. In that belief they are wrong, as usually signals are very simple and things that are com n1only done on the ball field often tele- graph intended plays, bffensively and defensively, says Ty Cobb.
 ''1t is true that several sets of sig nals are used by every major league baseball club. In this way the oppo- they think they have the signs of the catcher or batsman, and play accord tng1y they may be crossed and made to look foolish.
 The catcher has the brl1nt of the signals to handle. Frequently he will have two or three sets of each sign. Of course that means two or three sets with the pitcher, the same number with the second baseman and short stop and several with the first base man and third baseman.
 Bench managers in directing their players usually signal to one player. That player passes the order along to the others by means of a signal. The managers who do not don a uni- form invariably use a score card to telegraph their orders to the cap tain.
 Leaders who go on the coaching line and players who make a. speciality of coaching have different positions of the body apd fleet and frequentiy sing out words which mean a whole lot, but sound ordinary to the fans.
 The catcher and pitcher in the big leagues employ simple signals. Nearly every backstop uses the same. One or two fingers pointing downward usu- ally means a curve or a fast ball, while three fingers or the fist doubled means a waste ball. That is about all that Is necessary for the catcher and pitcher.
 If the catcher wishes to signal the second baseman or shortstop he Cs11- ally does it by placing the open hend on his knee or mask in such a way as to convey a meaning. Frequently the backstop stops in such way as to signal the players or he may move his feet. But the wise catcher tries to make his signs simple, so that there can be no misinterpretations-

ton in the course of the game with out thinking that he was throwing a sign.
 The second baseman and shortstop signal to each other by certain words, removing a glove. picking up dirt or some such way They try to do 1t without arousing suspicion, for their signals usually tell which man will cover the base on a steal and they do not want the opponents to get on to it.
 The pitcher usually has a set of signals which he uses when he be- lieves the enemy Is getting the signs of his catcher. He may approach the rubber with his left foot first mean ing a curve, while if he steps on it with his right foot in front he is going to throw 8 fast one. Then he may stand evenly on the, rubber for one kind of pitch, rest more weight on one foot thaN the other, bend either knee slightly or bring the pal LID to his glove in such a way as to convey a meaning to his backsbop ana team.
 The difficult part of the stealing of signals by the wise men of the game is to tell when the pitcher or catcher is giving the signs. The backstoP always stoops and goes through all his usual motions when the pitcher is telegraphing the ball he is going 10 bitch. while when the catcher Is sdg naling the twirler goes through all his motions which might mean some thing. They twitch whenever they sS think it necessary and the opponents are likely to get fooled.
 Hit and run signals vary a lot Some batters touch their cap on iIlre peak. move 1t around on their neao or remove it and put it back IheS may pass their hand over their cnln' hold the bat in a peculiar way, run their hands up to the big end or the bat, tap the bat on the plate two or three times, knock the dirt off their shoes or take a hitch in their trous- CTS All these coves are familiar to the fans and you see them made every day. But they may carry hidden meaning which will help to decide the ball game for the players who are watching them.
 TO miss one of these signs Is a breach of team play and causes much of the wrangling among the players. For instance, if the batter gives the hit and run sign, he always tries to protect the runner. He may go af- ter a bad ball and pop 1t up or may swing at a bad one and miss it, get ting a strike. Then if it looks to first base and finds the runner flat footed while he has either been put

IOI Ranch Plays To
 Capacity Audiences

Every seat was taken in the big tent at the performance Of the 1OI Ranch Wild West show last evening and there seemed to be as many peo- pie promenading around the circus grounds there were inside the tents. The show was a fine one, one of the best Wild West productions ever seen in Bridgeport and no one who saw the feats of daredevil horse back riding, lariat throwing, etc., re- gretted the price of admission.
 The feature of the show was the auto-polo game which kept the thous- ands of spectators lon edge" every minute of the time play was in pro- gross. For a genuine thriller 1t compared favorably with anything of it's kind ever seen in Bridgeport. The show taken as a whole was of es- pecia1Iy high standard.

SENSATIONAL CHARGES SAY COUNTY
- - -HOSPITA FORCES POST MORTEMS

A sensational indictment OF con-
ditions in the County Hospital is con-
tanned in afffdavits sworn to follow
ing the death of Harold Wallace in
that institution recently.
The affidavit makes the deliberate
charge that Warden William o.,
Chapman tried to turn the body over
to julius R. Butzow, an undertaken
at 2109 Ogden avenue, who also hap
pens. to be a lodge brother of the
warden.
There is also a charge of enforced
post mortem examination made by
the internes of the County Hospital
for the sake of experience.
Post mortems are supposed to be
only held in coroner cases to estab-
fish definitely the cause of death.
This is done in anticipation of legal
or criminal action
According to stories told by rela-
tives of persons who have died in the
County Hospital, all the patients who
are about to die are made to give
written permission for the embryonic
doctors at the hospital to hold post
norton examinations.
Charles P. Bradley, an undertaken
at 1929 w. Madison street, says that
he often gets bodies from the county
that are practically empty shells. Be
fore the authorities release the bod
les they are hacked and dissected for
the benefits of the students, accord
ing to Bradley.
The story of Wallace illustrates
the methods of Warden Chapman.
In an affidavit sworn to by William
Gibbons, 22O4 S. State street, close
friend of Wallace, who died on Dec.
10, Gibbons said that DR.. Woods tried
to make him sign a paper giving
them permission to post Wallace's
body by saying it was a coroner's
case and the body would be posted
anyway. This statement of DR..
Woods was later proven false by rec
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-12-22
MORTEMS
then put the proposition up to Will
liam Acton, another friend of Wal

lace.
Acton finally signed the permits
sion to hold the post mortem after
DR.. Woods tried the same game on
him, telling him that the coroner's
doctors would post the body if the
County Hospital doctors didn't.
Undertaken Bradley is authority for
the statement that patients are made
to sign post norton permission while
they are in delirious condition. And
then when the patient dies the body
is Immediately shipped to the dissect-
ing room.
However, when they cannot get the
patients permission they work on the
credulity of his friends or relatives
after he is dead. And Acton's aft
davit shows that they will even go as
far as Misrepresentation in some
cases in order to cut up the body.
In the case of Wallace, Warden
Chapman received telegram from
one of Wallace's relatives in Canada
instructing the warden to arrange for
the burial of the body and to send the
bill.
Immediately afterwards a second
telegram arrived explaining that ar
rangements had already been made
with Bradley to bury Wallace. 1t
took about five trips to the hospital
to get the body for Butzow, to whom
it had Immediately been sent.
