An idea of Wizards cleverness that

Willard makes Hawkins miss swings

Hawkins look foolish.

Willard looms six feet five inches

solid as an oak beam. He Tugs around

Harry Smith to Teach Billy
Zimmerman BaSe-ruf1ning

This mistake resulted in defeat,

Zimmerman was handicapped to a
great extent last season by Joe Me-
Ginnity's orders. The Iron Man"
refused to allow Zommerman to use
his own judgment in thieving the
middle ottoman, with the result that
Billy's showing in the base-stealing
column fell far below expectations.

moving Bills tendency to swing wide

Larry Sutton, the Gowanus gum

story about. Billy Zimmerman. when
Larry first tried him out on the

when to steal Larry called him
aside one day and told him to watch
Larry's right hand. The moment
Sutton moved that paw Zimmerman
was 10 steal. 1t WORRIED. wen LOT u
few games, and then one day at a
critical moment Sutton was perpleXed
and stared hard at the ground trying
to figure out the proper move to
make. BY some strange coincidence
at the instant he looked down a
silver dollar rolled out of the grand
stand at Larry's feet. Unconsciously
Larry stopped to pick up the coin
with his right hand.
Bill was off for second like race
horse. The pitcher had not started
to wind up and Bill was nipped be-
tween second and first. Larry did
not know whether to laugh or swear,
but Zimmerman soon learned to use
his own head and until last season
was permitted to act on his own
Judgment. Manager Smith will give
him the same privilege, unless, of
course, Harry is coaching and trying
to pull off some sort of base-run-
ming ruse.
