Oeschger Is the pitcher who battled
Leon Galore Of the Brooklyns 20 in
nlngs to draw May I. That was by
far the greatest exhibition Of twirling
he ever gave In the National league
and was an indication of what quality
of work he Is capable Of doing when
right. When he completed that rec
ord-breaking battle he had completed
81 innings of toll on the slab, and had
allowed only two earned runs In that
time against three different ball teams.
This Is not record, but II Is almost
good enough TO be one, and Is feat
that few pitchers In the major leagues
today achieve.

Miller higgins. manager of the New
York Yankees. owes his entire success
To being able tn rrmakc himself
When player has played II certain
position for years ana hattcd from one
side of the plate In all this time and
then decides that he had better change
both his fielding and batting positions,
he has several factors to contend with.
lie must change his angle of vision, he
must build up new muscles and UNI
build old ones.
What He Accomplished.
After three years of trying this was
what the diminutivc manager Of the
Yanks was finally able to accomplish.
He had been playing with the ST.
Paul club Of the American association
for some time when he decided that
to become a major Lacquer he would
have to change his playing methods.
He realized that he was not good ut
any position but second. lie could not
play at short or third or first, nor
could lie throw across the diamond.
lie was not n success mt any position
In the lineup except as lead.off man.
To be q leadon man he decided to
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1920-06-12

change from the right TO the left side
Of the plate.
Being u right-handcd hitter he had
developed his right leg to carry the
support of his attack. He had to undo
this and make his lcft-lcg muscles do
for him what his right had.
To change he started out to be n
southpuw In everything he did. He
threw the ball, chopped wood, drove
spikes and ate with the left hand.
He worked at his transformation for
three years and finally received the
recognition he was after lie got on
I'm the majors.
Reversed Himself.
Higgins In his best day was not n
good throwcr yet he became n great
second baseman. by using his brains
overtime he learned that standing In
position nearer left field than that
occupied by other second basemen
would allow him to come In on almost
every ball hit to his territory and get
II with his left hand. He was rarely
forced to go To his right on play
and always was In position TO get
the ball to first.
