PRACTICES IN BUSH LEAGUES
Manager More Bent on Winning Games
by Trickery Than Developing
Young Players.

!, The minor leagues produced few
good ball players the last summer
few good ones that the big leagues
wanted. A critic points out that in
many of the minors the former big
leaguers who act as managers are
more interested in winning games by
anything they can get away with than
in polishing up some diamond in the
rough who would make good in the
majors. For instance, pitchers in the
smaller minors adopt certain Illegal
motions and get away with them.
These same men in the big leagues
are required to pitch legally, which is
one reason they do not show with the
same eclat as when they were in the
bushes.

great half mile when the Penn team
broke the worlds record for the two
mile relay, as If he were in a trance.
On almost every stride he stumbled
and reeled and from the stands it
looked as though he would collapse
before he reached the tape. Accord
ing to all visible evidence Brown was
physically through. Stage believes
that only his capacity for nervous
emotion" the ability to command hid
den reserves of the spirit, kept him
going on to finish that last, brilliant
half in 1.54 and clinch a new worlds
record for his team.

in the second round. Stage believes
that it was Carpenters capacity for
nervous emotion" that brought him
back in the second round to within a
Dol OF victory.
Stagg illustrated his point with the
story of a Chicago half back In a
game played about ten years ago.
This player weighed 149 pounds, but
Stagg believed that he had to a
marked degree "the capacity for nerv-
GUS emotion" He was playing in a
game when the score was tied with
only five minutes to play. Chicago
had the ball with 80 yards to go for
a touchdown. Stagg ordered the Chi
cago quarterback to give the Night
half back the BAH on every play. On
line bucks and end runs the half back
took the ball 80 yards in four min
utes and won the game.
After the game Stage took the
youngster into the dressing room. He
had to undress and put on his
street clothes for him. He had to
take the player to his hotel. There he
had to stay In the youngsters o
until 0 o'clock the next morning when
the boy finally went to sleep. His
"capacity for nervous emotion" had
been so aroused during that desperate
coward march down the field that he
could not go back TO normal until the
following morning. That, according to
the veteran Stagg, is the most neces-
sary trait in an athlete.

Freakiest Freak Play.

Here is the freakiest of freak
plays that, 1t is said, took place
In the Blue Ridge league. 1t Is
alleged to be Il triple play In
which not one member of the
defending side touched the ball.
While it apparently violates a
flock of baseball rules, never
theless it is worth printing.
One team had runners on first
and second with nobody out.
The batsman hit an infield fly,
and the umpire called him out
under the rules. The infield fly
in descending hit the head OF
the runner on second, and he
was declared out by the umpire.
The ball rolled toward first
base, and the base runner. who
was there, in disgust, picked 1t
up and threw 1t to the outfield.
He was declared out for inter
ference, making three outs with
out a player lin the field touch
ing the ball.
1t is said that the decision of
the Jump went, although it Is a
question whether it could be
called a continuous play. Neither
is 1t certain that an umpire
would declare a base runner out
for being hit by an infeld fly
after he had called enfield fly"
Yet a ball is not necessarily
out of play on an inheld fly, for
the rule says that any runner
trying to advance on an infield
fly does so at his own risk.

Count among other upsets the Chi

Those two ball clubs had played city
series without number, and the Cubs
had not been on the winning end of a

losing 10 straight games, in fact. The
last Cub victory previous to this series
was in 1915, when the National league
smacked the White Sox by a score of
4 to 0 in the city series of that year.
It was the only game they took in the
series of that year, by the way.
