The Connecticut labor press., 1920-06-19

Miller Higgins, manager of the New York Yankees, owes his entire success to being able to remake himself.
 When a player has played certain position for years and batted 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. He must change his angle of vision, he must build up new muscles and un- build old ones.
 What He Accomplished.
 After three years of trying this was what the diminutive manager of the Tanks 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 leaguer he would have to change his playing methods.
 He realized that he was not good at any position but second. He could not play at short or third or first, nor could he throw across the diamond He was not success at any position in the lineup except as lead-off man. To be a leadoff man he decided to

majors-the National league, too-and that he will again demonstrate that senior league acumen is keener than that of the Johnson circuit.
 Wilhoit made his plunge into major league circles with the Boston Braves. His debut was impressive, but short lived. Gradually he fell down in his work with the bludgeon, and, what is worse, he fell down in his brain work to such marked degree that Manager Stallings shipped him to the minors. more as punishment than because he believed the youngster in need of sea- Soning.
 But Wilhoit. going true to form, burned up the minors and won another major league berth. This time it was the Boston Red Sox that gave him the lift. But again he failed to show the class that was expected in the majors. and now he is wearing Toledo regalia, where every student of the pastime expects to hear of him doing wonder ful things.
 Many players have been discarded by American league managers, only to return and star in the older cir cult. Lavan turned the trick; Chase did it, too; Olson failed in Cleveland but he shone brilliantly at Brooklyn

change from the right to the left side of the plate.
 Being a rfght-handed hitter he had developed his right leg to carry the support of his attack. He had to undo this and make his left-leg muscles do for him what his right had.
 To change he started out to be a southpaw 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. He got on in the majors.
 Reversed Himself.
 Higgins in his best day was not a good thrower yet he became a 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 1t with his left hand. He was rarely forced to go to his right on a play and always was in a position to get the ball to first.

You win or you don't win. You get That is the baseball philosophy that governs the field tactics and technique of Eddie Cicotte, the White Sox star hurler. It is an expression of confi- dence in himself notice to all that he is not superstitiOus, that he is willing to accept all things as they come in game, no matter what the breaks are.
 To watch Cicotte pitch to a batter you would admit, by his cool work in pinches, by the very manner in which he carries himself, and by his method of husbanding his strength for crisis that he is not easily rattled, but that does not say that he is not super stitious, for Eddie really is.
 Score on Cicotte in the opening inning and the opposition can usually figure that game is almost as good as in, for the veteran Chicago hurler is afraid of the first round. If he gets by it unscathed he has all of his con fidence for the remainder of the game. going to lose, and very often does.

 Now is the time to bear in mind that in pennant race the games won in the first of the season count just as much as those at the finish.
 Ferd Schupp looks so good with the Cardinals that Hickey believes he will show the form that he displayed sev- eral years ago with the Giants.
 
 Dick Loftus, the youngster who has been trying for the Reds outfeld. will play with Evansville, near enough to Cincinnati for Moran to keep track of him.
 Manager Mitchell did not pick up as many young bloods out of his material he has found a star in Clarence Twombly.
 With Feb Terry sold to the Chicago Cubs and Walter Barbare suffering a broken jaw, the Buccos will now have to rely on Buster Caton as the regular shortstop.
 Portland, Oregon, must be great place to develop shortstops. Ward, Bancroft, Hollocher and Peckinpaugh all came from that team, and all made gSod in fast company.
 
 The Detroit club had promised Pitcher John Glasier to Dan Howley of Hartford, but Jack Coombs has about changed his mind and may keep the youngster for awhile.
 Bill Hinchman says his brother, Harry, once a star in the American league and later in the American as- sociation, is now the proprietor of a bowling alley in Toledo, O., and doing a good business.

 But the ball whizzed out of Hack Spencer's mitt and bounded against the grandstand and kept on bounding when the slow-moving Spencer chased after 1t. The runners from third and second came racing over the plate, and what was Altizer doing?

BROWNS MAKE TRIPLE
 PLAY IN UNIQUE WAY
History Will Have to Be Raked
 Over to Find It's Equal.
Feat Is Usually Made or Hot Liner or on Capture of Fly BaIi-This One Was Started on SharpIy-Hit
 Grounder.

A triple play on a grounder may not be new record, but history will have to be considerably raked over to find Browns in the last game of the series last fall between St. Louis and the Red Sox at Fenway park.
 Triple plays of any sort are rare in major league baseball. Once or twice in a decade somebody makes an unas- sisted triple play and thus edges into baseball's hall of fame. But when these plays do occur they are started by the catch of a fly ball, usually hot liner.
 Here Is how the Browns retired the Red Sox; Boston filled the bases with nobody out and Herbert Pennock came to bat with fine chance to send in some runs. He is left-hand batter and fairly fast man. He hit sharp bounder that Austin speared on the first bound near third base. Jimmy stepped on the bag for the first out, and whipped the ball to Gedeon at sec ond. So far, the play was not extra ordinary. But Gedeon got rid of the ball as if it burned him and his throw to first beat Pennock a couple of steps.
 Quite naturally the Boston runner that had been on third base when the ball was hit crossed the plate while his teammates were being cut down wholesale. But this run didn't count.
 George Dauss, Berney Roland, Howard Ehmlke and Hub Leonard will be Detroit's regular f1inging quartet for the coming season.
