TAFT AS BASEBALL FAN

Years ago while the Red Sox
were playing in Washington the
players were taken to the White
House and introduced to (then)
! President Taft. The chief execu-
tive was a great ball fan, and
knew the characteristics of the
leading players of the American
! league In particular.
AS Eddie Cicotte, who was
, then Boston pitcher, was intro +,
. duced, the president said: "Show
me how you throw that knuckle ;
ball, Mr.. Cicotte."
Eddie illustrated as well as he !
could.
Pitcher Ray Collins was next .
In line. Cicotte overheard what
was said. !
"Can you tell me why your left !
shoulder is lower than your !
right, Mr.. Colllns?" queried the
president.
"Guess it's because I'm Z
southpaw," replied the pitcher.
"Ah, that must be It,"
The above is written just to I
show that even the president of !
great republic can be a regular ]
fan and read up on the various !
phases of the game. !
