body to crack under the strain of
the current base ball race, watch
out for the proof readers.
The typographical trouble shoot
ers Of the newspaper office are
facing the toughest grind in the
history of the game which has be.
come famous for its good American
names.
After hasty glance at some of
the alphabetical abortions which
must be fitted into the 1927 box
scores, the sport page p-,trons must
agree that a proof reader is more
to be- pitied than a Boston fan.
The confusion in the matter
of Hergrave, the Cincinnati
catcher, and HargraVes, the
Brooklyn catcher, is as thick
as ever.
Steve O'Neill two "L's'O is catch.
ing for the Browns, and Mickey
O'Neil, Zone "L'1 Is catching for
Washington
About tie middle of August the
proof re"e.srs may get this straight.
Carl Nays with "S'', and Jake
May without the So, are Cincinnati
pitchers. The proof readers would
be gratified If the Reds would
chuck one or the other-they care
not which.
It's a big temptation to hang an
extra IL" on Sherdel, the Card slow.
baller, and when Rheinhart pitches,
the question is always: does the
name have a I'D" in it, and If so,
where does It belong?
The Yanhs have a new In
fielder named Vera who insists
that it's spelled with one ''R"
although proof readers of vast
experience think it ought to
have two.
Jack McCallister, the new Cleve-
land boss, can't kick If the out of
town papers get him spelled with
out the &C" once in a while. George
Moriarty, of the Tigers, is almost
certain to turn up as Moriar(ilty
about three times a week. There
was a time when George never
made a howl about the spelling.
AS an umpire he couldn't afford to
so around calling attention to the
fact that Moriarty only had one
'f". There were too many fans
willing to believe that he didn't
have any. V
The Tiger assistant shortstop, De-
viveros, will just have to take what
he gets in the way Of proof reading
until he is a little better known.
So far it's been spelled in the box
scores with everything but an TX"
Jimmy Foxx of the AS will need
strong personality to stick to that
extra "X''. The base ball writer's
mean to do the right thing by
Jimmy when they use his name but
the proof readers usually take it
for granted that the typewriter
slipped.
It's a big help to look at a
box score and discover that
MINUS second base, Tigers,
didn't get any hits yesterday.
The obvious conclusion is that
a guy with a n me like
MINUS" doesn't deserve any
hits.
The proof readers sometimes get
a few good breaks. Bill Wambs-
ganss has gone away and so has
Lebourveau. AL Simmons could
insist on being called SzchmanslIi,
which is correct, If he wanted to
be mean about it.
Furthermore, the proof readers
only have to spell the names. It's
| up to the fans to pronounce them.
