SCHOOL: TEAMS
TANGLE AGAIN

Gage and Peabody school teams
will tangle again this afternoon
on the Plaza grounds at $3.50
o'clock in another effort to settle
the junior elementary school Soc
Ger championship.
The teams have clashed six
times. each winning game while
the others resulted in deadlocks.
If today's game ends in another
tie. it would merely prolong the
series.
1t might seem foolish but in

the best solution would toss a

as a wrist blow, pure and simple,
but Jock does not employ a flick

There are at least two valuable
lessons to be learned from the
style and execution of Jock Hutch
ir1son's shots. Jock has always
been full of pep and dash, a player
whom the gallery likes to follow
but one must look very closely to
discover his main assets.
One Of the things that starlds
out boldly in Jocks play and In
his teachings Is his disregard fol
one Of the time.honored habit
Of not. looking UP and spelling the
shot is to make sure that the eye
Is still glued to the spot where the
ball rested before its departure.
Hutchinson points out that

down the right shoulder Is
locked, thereby preventing 1t

der does not come around
there can be no satisfactory
follow through.
The only way to learn to drive
Is to karn rhythm and it's rela
ton to the swing. Keeping the
head down too long would be
breaking the rhythm and we
would be in the position of trying
to correct one fault with another
Hutchinson has become famous
for his mashie-niblick shots. He
showed us the possibilities Of the
back-spin before the ribbed clubs
came into vogue. Jock admitted
using the ribbed club because il
made the work easier, but his
method was still the same. jocks
work with the mashie and maShie
nibhck in winning memorable
1921 British Open at st. Andrews
was q revelation to the old timers
who never dreamed that a ball
could be made to jump backward
two or three feet.
There are other exponents OF
this back-spin shot but none stand
out so prominently as Hutchin
son. Nearly all of the leading
professionals prefer to pitch to
the pin these days instead Of run

ucVe me,
He hasn't been able to hit and
he hasn't been able to field and
all because he tries too hard. He
knows it, too.
The, truble with me is too
much publicity" he told me the
other day. "All the newspaper
fellows wrote about me during the
winter and when I came into
camp l had a big reputation to
live UP to. And it can't be done
go out there and try hard as
I can and the harder I try the
tougher time I seem to have"
It all goes to show that too
much publicity is a bad thing
particularly for the kid player. I
remember when Tony Lazzeri
broke in. He had been advertised
for a couple of years before he
reported and then when he came
into camp and didn't start hit,
ting home runs the first day out
everybody said he was a bust
Tony is a thin-skinned kid, too
and those stories hurt him a lot
He was a good ballplayer from
the go but he began to believe
himself that he was a flop. And
I have always believed and al
ways will believe that If Tony
hadn't got steamed up over a run
in with an umpire he would have
heen disappOintment. That
argument got him fighting mad
and he began to play real base
ball. Eut up to the time OF the
argument he was just $3.50 and
had begun to lose heart.
I don't know any tougher job
in the world than being a rookie
trying to break into the big
leagues. The average kid knows
that he has about two weeks in
which to make or break himself
He knows that if he doesn't show
something in those two weeks
he's licked, yet he knows, too, that
if he does bear down too much
he's likely to hurt himself per
manently. He's sort of between
the devil and the deep blue ocean
and it takes plenty of CUTS to
fight the thing through. People
talk about competition being
tough in a lot of jobs, but believe
me there is none where 1t Is
tougher than in baseball. Stop to
figure the thing out.
Every spring there are 500
new men come down to train.

are not more than 80 who

make good, and step in as

baseball has a spot for about
one man in every rs who

200 men down in the minors

I get dozens of letters each
year from kids asking me fo1
advice about going into profes
sional baseball. Those are the
toughest letters in the world tc
answer for I hate to discourage
kids; yet I realize, from long
years in baseball, just how tough
the grind is and how hard the
competition for those fellows who
are out to make good.
It's a great game but it's a
tough one. The more I stick
around the more sympathy ]
have for the rockies out there
working their hearts out trying
to make the top when there are
so few who really make gooc
and SO many who have nothing
but disappointment ahead o1

For the second time this week. the Fafnir and Gasco baseball teams will meet tonight at Walnut Hill park in an Industrial League game. The two combinations clashed in an interesting struggle Tuesday night with the Fafnir crew coming through in the last two innings for a to 1 victory.

Inc Gascos, pushed into third last place because of the defeat. are out to get revenge tonight. Glaring weaknesses at the bat and an untimely error. contributed for the most part to the Gascos' downfall.
 On the other hand, the Fafnir team has hit it's full stride and the team is bound to suffer no let up. The players are all anxious to win and they feel that they are superior to the Gascos.
 The question of pitchers tonight sheds a doubtful light on the sub- ject. The Gascos will most probably use their ace, Carlson. The Fafnir team is likely to use Lefty" HabHr again. although he pitched Tuesday night. In case he is not in share for a second game tonight, Bill Fer. guson may receive the call.
