of him with the Brooklyn club. 1t
was hard to find a young ball player
in those days who had ambition to
be anything but a pitcher.
But I'm blessed If you can find
them now-that is, the pitcher who is
a pitcher plus, the kind the major
leagues are looking for. This year ]
was down in a little town in Ten
nessee: 1t had been reported to me
town nine who might be worth look
ing at. Luckily struck a day on
which there was ball game.
All Are Prospective Ruths.

told me the family history of the
first five batters who came to the
plate for the home team and-be-
lieve him or not-every one Of the
himself a Babe Ruth. And. I think.
all of them had the same idea in
their heads, judging from the. con-
versatfon / had with them after the
game.
There was not a promising pitcher
the nine innings of that game. 1
sought information about pitchers
and here Is what they said.
I'VE haven't got any pitchers in
this section. because the batters are
so good that they destroy pitching
ambition
Wouldn't that beat anything you
ever heard of in base ball? And yet
1t is only symptomatic of a condition
that exists throughout the United
States. Show me one good pitcher
who was developed in the minor
leagues this year Yet 1t wasn't so
many years ago that one little league
in New York state developed six great
ones in single season!
But where are we going to find
them now? Base ball is getting so
short of pitchers that the next thing
you know Ruth will have to so back
to his old job of pitching"
