Bezdek Says Football Coaching
Helps Him in BOsSing Baseball

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 26. 49, Hugo
Bezdek, the Pirates new manager
who surprised many last season with
team, has recently said that his eXpe-
Tience I'm training and coaching foot
ball squads has helped him greatly IN
handling baseball players.
For one thing" says Bezdek, !
can improve the speed Of most any
player who is not already a trained
runner and If he is not older than 33.
After that age a mans athletic ability
begins to fade. But the truth is
that most players. and even big
league players. have never had the
proper training.
The average player in the big
league does not get all of the speed
out of his system because he uses
faulty movements. My experience at
football coaching and other athletics
has shown me how to get the best
possible speed from any player. 1t is
not so difficult a matter to correct the
faulty movements In a player and
teach him how to make the most of
what speed he has. And speed is i'm
portant In every department of base
ball.
THE average player that comes up
to the big show from the minors Is
not too old to be taught new tricks
by any means.
Il know this idea will be disputed.
but believe that most major leaguers
can be taught TO get away from the
plate or a base faster than they do,
and intend to experiment and satisfy
myself on the point. Then again !
believe that while no manager can
really make great hitter out of a
weak batter. yet he can improve his
hitting. showing the young batter his
chief mistakes will usually help him
considerable don't believe in in
sisting upon what is known as good
form because some of the best bat
tiers are the most awkward though
they are natural hitteTs and some or
the most graceful batters are the
lightest hitters.
Il believe that when a young player
is made to practice batting so long
that he becomes thoroughly used to
the mechanical part of 1t he will be
gin to hit better though he may not
know why.
There is a common complaint that
the minor leagues are lacking in tai
ent, but my own opinion is that there
is plenty of undevelOped talent that
has never had the right sort of drill
ing.
Il believe that minor league talent
may be given better development than
it has had before and that capable ball

Syllabus: 1. Where a city assessor
assessed certain property under its
proper designation in the assessment
schedule and the city board Of
equalization, at a regular meeting,
cancelled the assessment, entered
the amount thereof in column
designated "AH Other Property" then
reassessed the property originally
assessed at a certain valuation, but
gave no notice of the increase in the
assessment resulting from the addi-
ton of two items. 1t is held, that
the failure to give notice required
by sections 1917 and 21S7 r. c. of N.
D. 1899, is fatal to the legality Of
the assessment placed under the
item "AlI other Property"
2. Where the officers charged with
the duty of collecting personal taxes
neglected to take legal steps to col
lect the same for a period Of years,
though there was real property
within the jurisdiction which might
have been subjected thereto; and
records are lost, no presumption
favorable to the legality OF the pro-
ceedings can be INDUCED beyond
that warranted by the face Of the
records.
8. Where a property owner had

assessed by the assessor at $3.50,
