While Alabama, lin winning the

Line of Chatter

When Bill Carrigan, new manager
of the Boston Red Sox, voluntarily re-
tired from the American league, it
marked the passing of the last con-
versational catcher. W
Twenty-one years ago, when l broke
into the American league, a hot line
of chatter was considered a most i'm
portant asset of every catcher.
Few had the same line of stuff, but
the object was always thea same-to
keep the batter from concentrating.
Some of the old timers made it a
point to indulge in personalities, 9TH
ers resorted entirely to sarcasm, while
the smarter backstops simply insisted
on engaging the batter in conversation
without much thought as to what they
said.

.HORNSBY Will SEEK
TO SELL HIS STOCK IN
ST. LOUIS CARDINALS

ST. LOUIS, Dec. % R)..-Manager
Rogers Hornsby, of the st. Louis
Cardinals, who has been traded TO
the New York Giants, said today ne
would soon see Sam Breadon, club
president, and offer to sell his 1,167
shares of club stock to him.
Breadon said he knew of no base
ball law that would prevent Hornsby
from playing in New York uniform
while he owned stock in a rival club,
but Hornsby said he did not think
it would be for the best interests OF
the game for him to retain his
stock, Breadon owns a majority OF
the stock. and Hornsby is the second
largest holder. &t
John A. Heydler, National league
president, today telegraphed the, st.
Louis Post-Dispatch that rule or
no rule, 1T goes WITHOUT saying that
Hornsby could not play with the
Giants and continue to hold stock in
the ST. Louis club"
Hornsby today denied reports that
illness and an injury to the spine
suffered last season had permanently
impaired his batting prowess. He
said he felt as strong as ever ana
expected to regain his form and pe
a. strong contender for the batting
championship, which he held for SIX
consecutive years prior to 1926.
Hornsby emphatically denied res
ports that he had bet on the Cars
dinals to win the pennant ana
worlds series He said he had never
bet on a baseball game in his life
He disclosed, however, that the con-
tract proffered by Breadon contained

out On TMo strikes

Well do 1 recall a game in which
Dutch" Leonard sneaked over a first
strike on Felsch that he never knew
was pitched as later events proved
The second pitch, which Leonard also
delivered with little or no windup,
Felsch just did see. He took be-
lated swing, missing the ball foot.
On, the next pitch he didn't get his
bat off his shoulder, so interested was
he in the conversation he was carrying
on with the Red Sox.
When the umpire yelled, Strike
three" Felsch let up a roar that could
be heard miles away. It wasn't kick
on the umpires judgment; he simply
wanted to know since when batter
got only two strikes, and he meant It
Yes, sir! Besides being great
catcher, Bill Carrigan was most at-
fable conversationalist. He kidded
each and every batter and made him
like it.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-12-23
Carrigan's Style

Bill Carrigan was such catcher.
His line of chatter was clean, very
often complimentary and most of the
time favored with humor.
THAT fellow Carrigan sends you
away smiling, even when you take
three through the heart of the plate, "
is the way 1 once heard an opposing
batsman put it.
While Carrigan rambled on through
most of the game, he reserved his best
stuff for the pinch. 1t was with a
couple of men on and a base hit badly
needed that Bill went into high
If the player up in pinch hap-
pened to be some minor league star
who came to the majors with fat
batting average, Carrigan would i'm
mediately start to tell him that he
understood the pitching in the league
he came from was practically as good
as the majors.
He would appeal to his vanity and
before he knew it, Carrigan's pitcher
would have couple of strikes on him
while he. was courteously replying to
Bills queries.
