Kid Elbcrfeld, who for years starred
at shOrtstop in the majors, took a
whirl at managing the New York
Americans and then drifted to the
minors, had peculiar hobLi as a big
league leader. Elberfeld was strong
for system. He wanted a signal for
any unusual move that was to be made
by his players. The members of the
New York Americans during Elber-
fields regime used to do lot of kid

was necessary to pass the kid" the
proper signal, even If they merely
wanted to take a chew of tobacco or
a drink of water. Of course, that was
the bunk.
Wild Conroy played third base for
Elberfeld. He tells an interesting story
of how a mixup in signals almost re-
suited seriously. Conroy is now as
