tonic, where they worked out that
spring. His work impressed the
club bosses to the extent that they
kept a string en- him. and farmed
him out to Fort Smith. He played
through the season there at second
base. Relieved of the task Of whip
ping the long throws from deep
short to first, his arm grew strong
er. The last month of the season
he was sent up to the Syracuse
farm for another once over, and
then in 1927 to the Houston club.
Selph celebrated his arrival in
the Texas league by hitting safely
the first seven times at bat-the
streak stretching over the first two
games.
That this debut wasn't a flash in
the pan is indicated by the fact
that in his last month of play with
Houston last fall he hit at a .35e
clip.
Travis Jackson, Giant infielder
was a schoolmate Of Selph's at the
Arkansas college. but did not play
on the team as he had played pro-
feSsional ball.

AVON PARK, Fla, April 1.-THE
baseball career or Carey Selph, the
young man who has been cavorting
around second base for the st. Louis
Cardinals this spring, might have
been ruined early but for the sug-
geStion Of a wise old scout.
The rookie infielder now has a
good chance to win a regular berth
in the st. Louis machine-in the
near future-and win some meas
ure Of fame, at least, as a major
league ball player.
Selph started his baseball activi-
ties while a student at Ouachita
college. in Arkansas. You pro-
nounce it as though it were Wash
ee-taw. It's an Indian name mean
ing base hits, or something like
that.
Selph was playing shortstop, and
under the guidance Of Morley Jen-
nings, then coach at Ouachita, and
now occupying a similar position at
Baylor university, had made. a
name for himself when Jack Ryan.
st. Louis Cardinal ivory hunter,
looked him over.
Ryan liked the youngsters work
around short. The lad WAS COW
ering q lot Of ground. fielding neat
ly, and conducting himselN we'll in
general. But Ryan noticed that he
favored his arm in throwing.
Questioning Selph, Ryan found
out the youngster had been having
trouble with his throwing wing.
Playing at reasonable intervals,
Selph could whip the ball about
without trouble. But two or three
contests over a weeks time would
leave him with a sore arm.
Ryan said nothing to Selph, but
when the former recommended the
college boy to the st. Louis Cardi-
mails it was with the suggestion thai
he be played at second.
Selph was graduated in the
spring of 1926, and reported imme-
diately to the Cardinals at San An

BY CHARLEY


Have you eve noticed the reluc-
lance Of &C oacher to get rid of an
extra ball that in some way or other
has found a wey into his possession?
Frequently during the course Of a
big league game a batter will send
a foul ball that is snatched by the
coach behind third or first. IN
stead Of throwing it to the umpire
he fondleS it, carefully examines
the seams and playfully chucks it
from one hand to the other.
It is the same way in the Asso-
citation. the International league,
and other circuits, and it is a dan
gerous habit, as I will explain.
Last year I was interested in the
Danville Three-I club and FREQUENT
ly Travelled around with the players
for q week at a time. We were
playing a game at Decatur. The
score was tied for seven innings.
In the eighth the first batter
damned a long foul to left. AS the
outfielder returned the ball the
coach at third grabbed it and held
it. On the very next pitch the bat
Ter o q iIue SlOC 10 TlgnC. IL
was a sure dOubel but the runner
tried to stretch it into a triple. The
relay from right field came in low.
bounded past the third baseman
and hit the coach, knocking the
extra ball out Of his hand.
Seeing the wild throw the runner
kept on for the plate. The third
baseman grabbed one ball and fired
it home. The short5top, backing UP
the play. seized the other ball and
also shot it home. The catcher,
confused, let both throws pass and
the runner scored.
1t was a humorous situation and
all due to the fondness of that
coach for toying with an extra ball.

In Recognition of Mother.

Sunday, May IL, has been officially
designated as Mothers Day. For that
reason it has more than usual signifi-
canoe and a special appeal to millions
of men and women, boys and girls
throughout the land
From pulpits and from newspapers
will come words of praise for the
mothers of the land for their loving
sacrifice, for their unselfshness, for
their goodness
So long as the love of a good
mother continues to rule our hearts,
so long as she sits enthroned in our
deepest affections, just so long will
the standard Of right thinking, of
clean living, of humanity and gener-
osity be recognized and respected.
We may be thankful for Mothers
Day if it does nothing more than
cause US to pause long enough to pay
a loving tribute to those mothers liv-
ing and to shed a tear in loving re-
membrance of those who have passed
on. E. W. X.
