Every pitcher IN the big show has

hitting ability Of every player, but
few. il any. have as near perfect
a record on the batters as Jim
BaCby. one OF Lee Fohrs pitching
aces. Bagby has a system Of base
ball bookkeeping that ls unique and
he has found IL valuable IN his
career as a pitcher. Some years ago
when Jim was setting the Southern
league on fire he fell upon the idea
Of keeping tab on individual hatters
and also the different teams as
whole. he did this with the aid Of
a pocket memorandum.
After each game Bagby would re-
cord the success or failure Of this
or that batter. adding such notes
regarding the batter's style as he
deemed useful for future reference
and guidance. Jim was so success
ful that season that he has continued
the practice.
The other day Bagby was asked if
be stiu kept book" on the hatters.
and answered IN the affirmative. The
same system that worked SO wei
In the Southern league has been Just
as effective in the american Jim
was tipped off a whole heap when
he first went Up. but e now IN a
position 20 rely upon himself and
