MENTAL STRAIN IN BASEBALL
Pitcher With Fast Ball, Says
Former Varsity Guard.

A group of former varsity football
players were arguing the interesting
point as to which requires more nerve
on the part of participants, football or
baseball? One would think there
would not be dissenting voice to the
opinion that the gridiron sport re-
quires far more nerve. Yet there were
several who strenuously debated this
contention, holding that the mental
strain was greater upon the man who
plays baseball.
81 played varsity baseball and varsity
football" said one man of the group.
land | want to tell you that the only
time I ever felt inward tremors was
when l stood at the plate facing a
pitcher who had a fast ball. There is
something about the situation-or al
ways was to me-which made me feel
my helplessness, made me feel at the
mercy of the pitcher, or rather at the
mercy of his possible bad aim. In foot
ball you were fighting against one man,
and he had nothing to throw at you.
81 feel the same way" chimed in q
former varsity guard. when came
from prep school l had reputation
as a pitcher, but never tried for the
team because I hadn't the nerve fo
face the shoots of varsity pitchers.
The curious thing is that this man was
in his day one of the most daring and
resourceful backs playing the game.
