BUSTING INTO BASEBALL
"How I Broke Into the Major Leagues"

Grounds late in August of 1919. play
ing with the Washington team against
the New York Yankees and found that
in the batter's box had to face Carl
Mays. Mays, as you know, has thai
very unusual freakish submarine de-
livery, and honestly believe that ia
youngster just breaking in Carl is
one of the toughest pitchers recruit
could meet. Good luck was with me
however, and when came to bat for
the first time singled scoring two
runners. That was my limit, though,
in my starting game.
1t so happened that I played this
game and the seven following days with
a finger that gave me great pain, and
on examination the X-ray showed tile
finger broken in three places. Since
this was late in August, was through
for the rest of the season. The follow
ing Spring tackled the job once more
and, after playing a long series of ex-
hibition games against the Cincinnati
Reds, then the world champions, again
succeeded in establishing my right to
the second-baSe assignment. So really
had to go through the ordeal Of break
ing into the majors twice.
