Here 10 why Everett Scott has been able
10 hang up record for endurance that will probably stand
even after Babe Ruth 50 homes in has passed
out of the picture:
/. Takes great Of his physical condition Follows
training rules like college player than professional
athlete
p Never hurres himself in the spring Conditions him
self slowly regardless Of how well his rivals for the position
are showing.
3. Makes careful study of his batters, figures two
alike enabling him TO make plays easily that otherwise
might call for n foOlhardy effort.
T. Never forces his except in the pinch, Times his
runners so that he throws the fast and slow out by the
same margin.
). Has made a careful study of touching This
the most dangerous Of all plays the ball field and
player called upon to make often than the short
stop Watches the runner closely and being familiar with
his mannerisms positions himself accordingly in making the
touch also taking into consideration the direction of the
throw.
g. Gets the signal for every pitch and then tries to figure
what he will do in advance Says this is most important
and saves many a "bonehead play"
L. Doesn't believe in fussng with the umpires unless he
has real grievance Then expresses his objections in
way that results in the umpire giving him much consider
alton rather than pointing 10 the exit sign.
S. Guards constantly against being temperamenal Says
player accept the good and tough breaks part Of
the game.
g. Insists being optmist believing that everything
going to be all right and usually turns out that
way.
