BOGALCSA. La. March 1.-THE
81. Louis Browns are particular
about the condition of the diamond
they are training on. Nobody wants
to get a busted nose or a black eye
from ball that bounds into stone
OF rut. Hence the ball stars have
been taking part in busting off,
the field. The above picture, taken
by Bob Dorman. News-Times photo
grapher. shows Jimmy Austin, vet
eran St Louis player, holding a
ground sweeper while Urban shock
er, star pitcher, mends it. The BO-
salusa ball grounds club house IS
shown in the background.
Jimmy Austin, veteran third base
man of the St Louis Browns, fades
further out of the limelight this
year.
Austin has held the difficult cor
ner for the St. Louis teams against
all Corners for 10 years.
Last year Outfelder Earl Smith
was eased gradually into Austin s
shoes. The veteran realized his gray
hairs meant that he was slowing up.
Austin taught Smith all he knew
about handling the bag.
He succeeded so we'll that Man
ager Lee Foil feels certain third
base will not be a weak spot on his
infield this year.
Austin probably will never leave
the Browns.
He will turn his attention TO
coaching and advising the young
stcrs.
Few players retain their diamond
luster as long as Austin. He is 80.
Cleveland has been his home Of
recent years. He played his first
professional ball in 1904 with Day
ton in the Central League.
He went 10 Omaha in 1907 and TO
the New York Yankees two years
later. St. Louis got him in exchange
for Roy Hartzell, second baseman,
in 1910. Hartzell has long since
dropped out Of big league baseball.
