MUST HUE TO LINE
WHEN IN UNIFORM
HornSby'S Short and Sweet
Rules Strict Only for
Time of Duty.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~ OGERS HORNSBY of the
r. Chicago Cubs is something
i Y of a modernist among
major league managers
Pursuing the idea that what a
base ball player does off the field
is mostly his own business, Horns
by will have but few rules of con-
duct for the Bruins, who have
started Spring training on Cata-
lima Island.
His code is brief and simple and not
hard to remember:
Win ball games! Think only base
ball so long as you are in uniform"
However, Hornsby, who is an IRON
listed Texan, intends seeing to it that
the Bruins follow those admonitions to
the fullest degree.
When my players put on their uni
forms they are to have nothing but
base ball on their minds until work
is finished. I do not want to hear
any talk about stocks, automobiles
girls, taxes or anything else. They
cannot even smoke when wearing a
unitQm. There'll be no smoking or
fun Eom the time they enter the club
house until they leave it. Just Dase
ball.
viii Hold Meetings.
"I do not care what they do after
the days work Is done. The men can
play golf, go fishing Chose two hobbies
applying to the training camp days, of
course, play cards, dance, sing or cut
up. Anything, so long as they keep in
good physical condition. 1 want every
player in his room by midnight, but they
do not have to arise at any especially
early hour / believe in letting bali
players get plenty of sleep and rest,
What's the use of getting them up early
in the morning and make them sit
around several hours before it's time
to report for practice?
Il VIII give my men plenty OF base
ball to talk about and think about.
When I see things done wrong on the
field we will discuss them at a meet
ing the next day. I want my players
opinions and I will give them mine. We
will have meetings during the training
season and we will be having them
the final week Of the campaign"
Gave Alec Free Hand.
Hornsby had much the same ideas
when he managed the st. Louis Car
dinals. He took Grover Cleveland
Alexander when the Cubs fired him for
playing more with white mule than base
balls and no other club wanted him
Hornsby told "Old Pete" to do as he
pleased so long as he was able to climb
into the box in his regular turn.
Alexander's pitching helped the Car
dinals to a pennant and clinched them
the worlds series. Hornsby gives his
men plenty Of personal liberty, but If
they abuse it he knows how to crack
down on them. One look into Hornsby'S
boss around the reservation.
Hornsbv started his pitchers training
on Catalina Island with soccer foot
balls rather than base balls Rogers
believes a pitchers legs must be as
strcng as his erm or head. So to give
them something more interesting than
running around the outskirts of the
training fed he is having them kick
a foot ball around William Wrigley's
island. When their legs get strong and
nimble he will let the fingers start
strengthening their arms.
