It's I understand the situation,
a Bush fined Cuyler because he
A failed to slide in one of the
games with New York, then fighting
Pittsburgh for the lead.
"Cuyler failed to obey instruc-
tions and was fined" is the way
Bush briefly explains the unfortun-
ate happening. ANY other player
would have been so handled. treat
my players all alike. I am boss and
the boys must play my game"
One of the things that all man.
ayers stress is the Importance of
sliding when such play may enable
the runner to escape the touch, beat
the play. or break up a possible
double killing.
Many star players other than
Cuyler have been fined for not slid
ing and often the fine has been more
than fifty simoleons. Therefore,
Cuyler is not being made martyr
to any new system Manager Bush
has inaugurated.
Taking money in the form OF
fine has always been one way to
penaIize a ball player who fails
to follow managerial instructions.
1t makes him remember.

he would seldom do anything on the
field that would call for fine. But
after all, Cuyler is only human.
Star players are those who run
out every hit at full speed, even
though their effort is but a puny
tap to the pitcher. The star al
ways slides into the base, when by
SO doing he believes he can beat a

No star, however, should be i'm
