OLD BASEBALL BUS
fRY Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.,-Revival of the
old time baseball players bus for trips
to and from the baseball park would
go far toward restoring simplicity and
spirit of sportsmanship to the game
manager Johnny Eycrs of the Cubs
declared today.
The old bus gave us a good whole
some advertising. but at the same
time it put real fun, chance for real
team work and more honest to good.
ness pepp in the game, Evers declar
ed. 1T made it more like a sport and
less like a commercial proposition.
Remember how the manager and
his team used to pile out of the hotel
and into the bus. If we were the
visiting team the town was there to
see and jeer at us. Away we would
60 across the town, the entire route
one long line of yelling hometown
boosters. BY the time the park was
reached everyone had heard some,
thing that made him full of fight.
Crowd Would Hoot.
after the game we would pile back
into the bus. couple of thousand
fans would stand around and give us
hooting, win or lose. We got it
coming and going and loved it.
How is it today. Morning practice
makes the front of the park look like
an automobile show. The players
breeze in at the last minute and
breeze out as quickly as they can
change clothes. The manager never
sees his man together except at game
time. The players are too busy keep
ing dates with everybody in the world
from movie promoters to soap manu-
facturers.
That is the reason players today
are not as smart collectively as they
were a few years ago. They don t
spend enough time learning baseball "
