"rTNHE apparel oft procaims the man"
i wrote Shakespeare This line was
peuned before baseball was known
In baseball neither the apparel nor the
demeanor off the field proclaims the man
as he is known in the game. And so the
noncombatant is often puzzled by the
queer shifts in affairs.
A Case in Point
Here is case in point: While we were
at Southern training camp this spring a
visitor who knew very little about base
ball came up to the room one night. While
he was there one of the players dropped
in for a short flaming bee. He had big
chew of tobacco in his mouth, cap pulled
over one eye and a fine output of profanity
in his general conversation.
After the athlete had left the visitor re-
marked Say. ia hate to umpire game
with that fellow in H. I guess he is one
OF the tough type that would bite off an
ear If things didn't go to suit him
He was surprised TO hear that the player
in question was one of the most pleasant
hammered entries in the game, had never
been put off the field, rarely protested de-
cision and was never on the hunt for any
sort of trouble. 1t was over his bean.
