Those sitting out in front never
know what is going on back of the
scenes.
That is true of the ball field as
well as the theatre. While the
crowd laughs and applauds, tragedy
in it's various forms is often being
enacted behind the scenes. Humor
also has its place.
In baseball, the field is the stage,
the clubhouse is behind the scenes.
Waite Hoyt. star pitcher of the
New York Americans, was the big
figure in such setting during the
1921 series with the Giants.

ball which he had been using was
practically unhitable. He had
used the curve more as a threat.

shake his head.

SEXTON CALLS
ATTENTION TO
ECONOMY RULES

NJ. Fl. Sexton. president of the
National Association of Professionally
Baseball clubs, has directed COM
munications 10 the various minor
league club officials, calling atten-
ton to the new rules of the associa-
tioE designed TO foster economy.
President Sexton emphasizes the
ruling against payment of bonus to
any player for signing a contract,
or permitting him to share in any,
money realized from the sale of his
services. Clubs are also advised to
adhere strictly to salary limits as
defined by the national association,
and to observe the clause which
calls for riling salary affidavits semi
monthly with the president.

found Trainer Wood of the Yankees
examining the second finger on
Hoyt's pitching hand. There was
a big blood blister on the end of
the finger which extended well
under the nail.
1t didn't seem possible that a
pitcher could work with such a
finger on the throwing hand The
silence that pervaded the dressing
room made it evident that all the
Yankees entertained such an opin-
ion.
After the finger had received
medical attention, l got Hoyt off
to the side and asked him what he
thought of his chances to start an
other game.
THE finger is terribly sore" he
said ut prevents me from get
ting a purchase on the ball and
therefore takes the zip off my
fast ball However. 1 will be in
there if | am only able to dish up
slow ones"
Hcyt Has Real Courage.
The news about the injured
finger was kept a secret. Hoyt Won
his second game after hard strug-
gle. He was forced to resort TO
every bit of pitching strategy he
possessed. His actions plainly
showed the finger was giving him
much pain.
Before his third start. his in
jured finger was worldwide gossip.
He lost that game l to 0, because
the usually reliable Peckinpaugh
made an error at a critical stage
Hoyt's performance in the world
series. great that il was, was all
the more remarkable when one
considers the conditions under
which he labored.

Likewise all the bigger institu-
lions employ a scout or scouts.
The duty of these scouts is to look
over the teams on the schedule of
their eleven. Very often some of
the assistant coaches never see
their team play They are always
looking over future opponents.
