BUTLER OF MILLERS
is MUCH IN DEMAND

Brooklyn, not to mention two or
three other clubs is angling for Third
Baseman Butler of Minneapolis.
Butler is not as good a third base
man as Jimmy Collins was. nor is he
as good as Dugan. who would be much
better If his knee did not wobhle so
much. But he is so good that he stands
out in this present dearth OF thlrd
basemen.
Brooklyn let. Hubbell. a big pitcher
lin size), and Dick LOTUS. $3.50 out
fielder, go to Minneapolis last year. II
is possible that there was an under
standing that Brooklyn was to get
first crack at Butler. Minneapolis.
however, thought so little of the play
ers that both were shipped back to
Brooklyn.
The club that got the right TO draft
from Minneapolis WAS the Boston
Americans. They took Chester Fowler,
who has had experience once before
in the ma jors He is booked for second
base. or maybe third. or maybe even
short stop. all depending on the kind
of infield Boston succeeds in assem-
bling.
When Boston took Fowler instead of
Butler. there was some surprise. FER
hapS Butler was not eligible to go.
1t may he that Brooklyn will beat the
other clubs out and aquire Butler by
the purchase or trade method. If IN
Gle Robhy could get Butler, he might
pass up Marriott. who Is pretty I'M
certain. especially since the Braves
waived on him. Butler certainly Is
worth watching. He batted .339 last
season. and showed his fielding versa
tility by playing at first as we'll as at

often tip off the batter to what is COM
ing by watching the pitcher. They can
tell what he intends to throw by the
way he holds the ball. Often they can
get a tip on what Che pitcher is going
to deliver by the way the second base
man or shortstop shifts. There are in
fielders who will change position as
the pitcher starts winding up. and in
telligent batters, by closely observing
the inffelders, can get the needed in
formation themselves without the aid
of the men coaching.
The old Athletics had several men
that were marvels at catching signals.
Chief Bender, Danny Murphy and
Jack Coombs were famous for it, and
they did 1t legitimately. Eddie Collins
was also a shark at getting them.
They would generally stand behind
the catcher and look through his legs.
Then they would say something to the
batsman, an innocent remark that was
the signal for the pitched ball.
Dave Bancroft was one OF the best
men I ever saw in getting the oppos-
ing teams signal when he ran bases.
Whenever Bancroft reached second
base he began tipping off the battery
signals. Oscar Dugey of the Cubs had
the reputation of being a clever man
at this trick.
I have always felt that it is better
for the batter to pick his own ball
than to have it tipped off to him. The
batter who takes signals gets SO used
to them that he Is helpless when he
does not get them. and there is no
team that can get signals all the time.
Batters who depend on their own re-
sources at bat are the more valuable.
There is also always the chance Of the
opposing team changing it's signals
suddenly and crossing up the batter
and the men that are stealing them.
Some of these sudden switches have
resulted in serious injuries to batsmen
by being hit with pitched balls. The
batter who is expecting a fast ball, and
is set for one when the pitcher throws
q sharp breaking curve. Is almost
bound to get hit. Clubs that made a
practice of stealing signals and de-
pended chiefly on getting them never
got very far in pennant races. The
only exception to this was the old
Athletics team. but the Athletics had a
world of stuff and. besides, they did
not make a regular habit of playing
with the other teams signals. They
did it only on occasions.

You will then be doing exactly what
you unconsciously do in those free and
easy practice swings and the results
on the ball will surprise you. After
ward you can let out some in power,
but the difference between always bad
golf and consistently fair and always
improving golf is in knowing how to
let out this additional power just
a trff1e at time.
The average golfer always wants to
let it out all at once. He is forever
concerned with whamming the ball
as hard as he can. The good golfer
has passed beyond that foolish period
Of golf, and so his concern is always
to be careful never to swing at a
ball as hard as he can. He knows
too well the danger that turks in that
practice.
In Fig. l we see the club in the
top position where the club has gone
back much too far. The arms, too,
are too high in relation to the body,
showing that a great upward arm
reaching has taken place unnecces-
sarily. This player is about to jump,
at the ball with all the power he has,
and nothing much is going to happen
to the ball.

high and the club has stopped just
short of the horizontal across the
shoulders. Instead of reaching wildly
with the arms, this player has let
the body turn at the shoulders with
the upward and backward sweep
with the club SO that he has stopped
the club at about what you would
call a half-swing. But instead Of be-
Ing a half-swing it is a correct full
swing. This player will start back
easily apd smoothly toward the ball,
with body and club moving together.
He will let the club naturally increase
it's speed toward the ball-without any
noticeable effort ON his part-until 1t
gets near the ball. There he will give

yards will result.

or less than that. And use just half
Of what you call a full swing. And

SARAZEN is PLAYING
IN 0LD.TlME FORM
BY RAY MCCARTHY.

ST. AUGUSTINE, January 27.-
aene SaraZen, Stocky little home-bred
professional golfer, is the latest play
err to announce his intention of going
abroad next Spring to compete in the
British open championship. This an
nouncement means that the Amer
lean professional invasion of British
golf this year will be quite as fornid-
able as that Of the amateurs repre-
senting the American Walker cup
team.
With jim Barnes, the present pen
title holder. Walter Hagen, eX-British
champion Johnny Farrell, Leo Diegel,
Macdonald Smith and Sarazen in the
group going to Europe. the array of
talent representing America in Brit
iSh competitions will be the strongest
ever.
SdraZen'S decision to go abroad is
influenced by the fact that the hard
hitting young 1talian-American has
recovered the golf form he showed in
1922, when he won both the open and
the professional CHAMPIONSHIPS and
by the fact that the British open tour
nament this year will be played on
the StanneS course in the northern
part of England. Sarazen likes the
course and feels confident that he can
do well there. Most of the star golf
erS can play well on a course they
like. Psychology, perhaps, but true,
nonetheless-
1t was on StanneS three years ago,
when Sarazen first went to England
that he won the professional cham
pionship of northern England, defeat
ing Hagen for the title. For the last
two years Sarazen has been in sort
of slump. 1t is not that he has been
playing badly, but he has not been
winning and his game has suffered
somewhat as a result of some changes
he has made.
To stand out in golf or in any other
sport for that matter, one must win
consistently as Hagen and Jones have
done. No golfer was placed better
over any prolonged period than Mac
Donald Smith was last year, but Mac
failed to win a major title and all of
his wonderful scoring practically went
for naught.
OF late, Sarazen has been hitting the
ball with all Of his former vigor and
accuracy and when Gene Is right,
there Is none better, he proved in 1922.

tdcn manager started OH WITH MS
best pitcher and neither lasted an
inning. Good pitchers followed. but
the smuggling continued. Each team
knew that the other team had it's sig
nails, but neither could guess how the
other team was getting them. Each
team changed signals. After the first
inning the pitchers started giving the
signals and then the catchers. Alter
mating did not stop the slamming. In
the sixth inning each team decided
to quit using the other teams signals
for fear OF being detected. Too much
was being made of a good thing.
Both Make Discovery.
While the batting was going on the
players of each team were watching
one another to discover what was Civ
ing the play away. Each team made
the discovery.
Johnny Bassler, one of the best
backstops in the game, was working
for Detroit. Philadelphia had discov-
cred that Bassler, in signing for a
curve ball, threw out the right elbow
a bit and brought it forward an inch
or two. He did this in giving the sign.
Bassler had a habit of circling the mid
die finger in his glove after signaling
for a curve, and when he circled the
middle finger the elbow moved for
ward.
"Cy" Perkins was the regular catch
er for Philadelphia. Detroit, by watch
ing Perkins, had discovered that
whenever he called for a fast ball he
unconsciously spread his knees and
whenever he called for a curve he
pulled them in a few inches.
Here were two catcherS, each a fin
ished receiver, and each unconsciously
tipping off the pitching to the oppos-
ing team. Detroit and Philadelphia
had made the discoveries about the
same time, although neither had an
opportunity to use the knowledge until
this game, and then they used 1t ST.
simultaneously. It was the easiest thing
in base ball for the two coaches to
watch the catcher and tip the batter
off to what was coming. Any time
Bassler's elbow came forward it was
a curve ball; whenever Perkins knees
went out it was a fast one. That is
all the batter need know.
Honest Signal Stealing.
Here was signal stealing, and hon
est signal stealing. There was moth
ing about it that could be condemned
Much Of the signal taking Is done in
a. similar manner Some catchers tip
off whenever a curve is coming by
going back step, giving them a bet
ter chance to get the ball after the
break. These catcherS also come near.

treal in the belief that the day will
come when that franchise will sell
high. This sort Of investing for the
purpose of drawing down "unearned
increments' is regarded as shrewd
business in the real estate world. but
the base ball world doesn't like it.
More than 5000 players participated
IN minor league games in 1925. The
majors are entitled TO hold $40 play
ers, but of this number three -eighths
IND their way back To the minors
and are included in the 5000 figure.
So IL is evident that professional
base ball in 1925 gave employment to,
about $500 players. That may look
like lot, but it is far below the cur

places the number around Is 900
The total amount realized by the
minors from sales of players 10 the
majors in 1925 was S705O0 Included
in the deals that make up this figure
