Personally. the ball players get
tired of such old geezers telling
them how to play baseball. For in.
stance, when one manager or an.
other who has to get a permit
every day to be absent in the after.
noon from the Old Mans Home is
on the bench, you never can tell
but he will get injured by foul tip.
And when an I'D manager has
rheumatism. he is liable to cramp
the style Of the field captain while
he is cramping his arm. Now sup.
posing Connie Mack gets the palsy
and the Athletics are battling out
there for the pepnant I don't
want to have too much ina gina
ton, but just supposing they were
out there trying for the flag. Sup.
posing is rightly
Well, now, the Athletics hit
and-run signal is for the manager
to curl up his face like a piece Of
cellulOid in front Of q wooden fire
and to grOan out loud. It's q
bum signal at that, because the
fans in PhilIy always grOan when
their team is at bat, but IL is the
signal, anyway. And suppose that
, Connie Mack has the palsy and
begins TO curl up his face and
grOan from rheumatism at the
same time. Well. what is left to
do but the batter to play the hit
and-run, even when there is no
body on base? And I'll say there
seldom Is except when the White
SOx pitcher is awful wild and
walks everybody or socks them
with the ball.
McGraw's signal for a bunt is for
him to lean over and throw some
dirt toward third base. Now, II Nc
Graw gets neuritis in his arm, why,
he will be liable to throw some dirt
right in the umpire's face and it
will mean a heavy fine, because UNI
pires carry around so much real
