HANDICAP TO PLAYERS
Stars Who Suffered Because OF
Size of Their Digits.
cy Seymour Found Great olffleu'ty
In Controlling Ball Because HIS
Hands Were So Small-camp-
bell Another Victim.

II was the small size Of his hands
which kept Cy Seymour from being a
great pitcher. When he first joined the
New York Giants. many years ago. ne
came as a twirler, but he found tne
greatest difficulty in securing control
of the ball, because his hands are SO
small that he could not get his fingers
all the way around the sphere. Cy
was finally forced to give up pitching
entirely and go to the outf1eld, where
his hitting, rather than his fielding.
kept him In the game for long period
Of years.
Vincent Campbell, the fast center
fielder OF the Bostons. last season, has
the same handicap as Seymour in re-
gard to the size of his hands. Camp
bells mitts are far below the average
in length and diameter. and the muffec
flies which he is guilty of are the re-
suit of this physical handicap. to a
great extent. He is also not SO good q
thrower as he would be II his hands
were a bit more bulky. Campbell.
however. played better ball last season
than ever before.
Vincent is a speed marvel, no one
excelling him in getting down to first
base. But he has two weak points in
offensive work. He is very poor
waiter, and SO does not get on nearly
SO often as he would If he was able to
force the pitcher to pitch to him.
His great speed makes him a hard
man to stop In the bases, but he is not
on there SO much as he would be If he
could develop the habit of waiting to
better advantage. Campbell hits Is
points higher than Bob Bescher. but
the extra bases on balls secured by
the Redleg were more valuable than
the extra hits made by the Boston gar
dener.
Owing to his inability to wait, Camp
bell went to bat more times officially
than any other player in the National
league last year. He was charged
with 624 times at bat, and no other
player reached the 600 mark. though
16 of them played in as many or more
games than he did. This is serious
weakness In lead-off man. who
should be on base more often by the

Babylon.
