Six years ago Sherrod Smith was
given up as done BY Wilbert Robin
son, Brooklyn manager. but thanks
to a good head and the lack Of pitch
ing stars on the Cleveland team. the
veteran was able to hang on to a
major league job six more years. He
came 10 Cleveland from Brooklyn BY
the waiver route in 1922.
Smith had about the most decep-
tive motion TO first base of any
pitcher in baseball. In the first
place he had the advantage Of a
southpaw in facing the bag. But
combined with this was a quick, half
balk motion to first that caught
many stealing a little nap. IL was
worth the price Of admission 10 watch
him work with a runner on first.
Another Of his tricks vas his abil-
ity. while coaching. 10 catch the
pitching signals OF the opposing team
and tip off the batter.
Smith will be 81 years old in Feb
ruary. He started his major league
career with Brooklyn in 1915. He
never created much of a sensation in
the won and lost column, his best
season being his first when he won
IL games and lost six. Up to last
year his major league totals were ia
won and lost, but his balanced record
was spoiled in 1927 when he lost four
games while winning one.
