It's Hit or Miss Now
n ASEBALL, as played today,
is largely hit or miss. There
- is less sense in seeking that
one run by sacrificing and run

a swing at the plate.
Follow the scores for a week nr
so and note the small percentage
of low totals with games decided
by a single run. Oh, yes, you'll

But before the lively ball came
in the crowds were smaller and
the players salaries were lower.
This is a condition that has crept
into the game to stay.
The oldtimer, that is, the man
who followed the game closely
back, say fifteen years, exhibits
disgust when he sees the big scores

Here's another thing about Earl
and it's the answer to 4 lot of
these old timers wln6 figure ayouilg
fellow can't play good baseball until
he's been on the bench q few years
getting what they Sall seasoned"
Do you know how, much time Earl
Combs spent on the bench? Not
any. That's how much. And do
you know how much baseball ex-
perience he had before he rama
into the big show? just two sea-
sons. That's all.
Earl was a kid player with the
Kentucky State Normal School team
and he wasn't even thinking about
playing professional ball. He
he did like to play. And then 81
scout for the Louisville club saw
him. He played two seasons with
Louisville and from there ne came
to the Yankees. You know the rest.
This is Combs second season
with us. Last year he was out
with q broken leg. But he's
playing regular every day-and
1t would take q Ty Cobb to get
him out Of there now. That's
why / say he's the greatest
young ball player that has come
up since I've been watching the
yearly crop Of new arrivals. And
/ mean every word Of 1t.
Earl isn't the only good kid to
come up this season, though. We
were talking about that in the
clubhouse the other day. You know
ball players discuss about every
thing in the clubhouse. Anyhow.
Bob Meusel started this one by
asking who was the best kid player
to come up this year. We all
agreed on Combs. Not much ar
gument there. But Joe Dugan wen.
a bit further and wanted to know
who was the next best-and then
the fun started. &
Everybody had pet--and a lot
OF the boys were naming kids /
had hardly heard Of. If there was
anyone overlooked at all, 1t was be-
But finally they compromised a
best looking prospects among the
kids. That made 1t a bit easier.
And If those fellows are any
judges then the Athletics and the
Yankees are pretty lucky. For
between them, they got the whole
five. Here's the five we selected.
We took q. regular vote on it too
with Whitley Witt acting as
teller and Joe Dugan calling off
the names to him, just like q
regular election.
Earl Combs, of the Yankees, and
AL Simmons, of the Athletics, were
unanimous choices.
Cochrane, the young catcher the
Athletics got this year, got votes
from all but two of the twenty
four fellows who voted.
Pee Wee Wanninger. OF the Yam
KEGS, and Max Bishop. OF the Arh-
letics, each got twenty votes.
So that makes the list of the five
best: Earl Combs and Paul Wannin.
ger, Of the Yankees; Cochrane, Bishop
and Simmons, of the Athletics. And
1 guess that isn't such a bad choice
at that.
I'd. swear that, Wanninger and
Combs belong to the five best. ]
haven't seen the others yet this
season, but from what I hear OF
them, they're about 100 per cent
too.
Believe me. any of them could
have jobs on my ball club. But Ia

certain definite evaporation of cleo
irons from the filament and a steady
flow of current from battery "B" in
the phone circuit.
When the high frequency signal is
received in the antenna circuit and
in turn transferred to the phone cir
cult by the close proximity of coils
Ii and LIZ, the current in the phone
circuit alternately increases and de-
creases. Through the one-way ac-
tion of the valve the average cur
rent through the phones is increased
by the signal
The fundamental action is pro-
duced by the heating of the filament.
The detecting action is produced by
the combination of signal current
and the current from battery "B."
To distinguish these two batteries
used in the circuit from one another
! the filament battery which serves to
heat the filament was arbitrarily
called the "A" battery, while the bat
terry used in the phone circuit to
furnish the normal phone current
was called the "B" battery
The Fleming or two electrode valve
was not sensitive detector. Many
good crystals are superior to it in
that respect. It's greatest contribu-
ton to the radio art lies not in its
own inherent value but in the fact
that 1t acted as the daddy" of the
real wonder worker in radio. namely
the three -electrode" vacuum tube
with which we are now so familiar.
In remembering the designation of
the batteries used both in the Flem-
ing valve and in the more modern
three -electrode vacuum tube, keep in
mind that the "A" battery is the one
which is used to heat the filament,
while the "B' battery is the one
which Is used to provide the normal
current in the phone or plate circuit.
The Fleming valve was simply a
detector. The three electrode vacuum
tube can be used not only as a de-
tector but as a radio frequency am
plifier, an audio frequency amplifier
and as an oscillator or generator of
electrical waves.
The use of the various types of
batteries in three -electrode circuits

Unless you are using d. crystal set,
you are using one or more of the
types of batteries known as "A"
"B" or &c" batteries. The ordinary
crystal set is the only one that does
not require the use of a battery, al
though there are some types of

battery for proper operation. The

commonly used does not require a

Ell minating the special types of

require battery current for efficient
operation are those which use some
type of vacuum tube.
