ONE RECRUIT EACH
season IN old DAYS
Old Yankee Catcher Tells
How Teams Trained When
He Was in Prime

In commenting on the large num-
Der of players that accompany a team
on the training trip nowadays, Jim
Mcclure. former Yankee catcher, re-
Gently said:
when l first broke in We only
carried the men whom we thought
absolutely necessary. can remem-
Der years when only one recruit was
with the party, and he had a tough
time of It. There wasn't the helping
hand spirit then that prevails now.
Not so you could notice it. Those
old-timers made life miserable for a
rookie, and It took man with an
iron nerve to stick the training trip
out
Ball clubs in those days did not
carry the raft of men through the
season that they do now. Fifteen
was a big squad and about all the
work was done by a couple of pitch
ers Why, the Tigers have as many
pitchers alone as the whole squad
carried by some of the old-timers.
Scouting was unknown. For one
thing there were not many places
to scout. for the minor leagues were
few and not up to the standard of
today. Most Of the new talent came
from semi-professional clubs. II a
man made a big reputation around
his home town, he might be looked
over by a big league manager who
could find the time. He was then
given a trial and II he looked good
and could stand the gaff, stuck.
The training trip in the old times
was taken primarily for the purpose
of getting the regulars into condition
not for developing recruits. The ole
men on the squad were given a chanc,
to timber up and work the stiffness
out of their joints and, in some cases
the rum out of their systems. Their,
was practice much like that of today
only not so much of it nor so siren
uous. II didn't take so long to ge
ready, for there was no time lost IN
trying to separate the sheep from tn
goats in an army Of recruits. No
did we have to waste time learning
the fine points.
Probably the infield had been to
gether four or five years, or three o
the four men had been that long witt
the club, and they worked instinc
lively. Nowadays you are lucky If yor
can remember the name Of every maj
on the roster and call him by it
There are some fellows here nov
whom / am not sure of naming cor
rectly, and it will take me until W
get back to Detroit to get them al
pegged."
