until the hot weather months Of
the campaign rolled around.
Then a few attempts as a
starter left the veteran with
plenty yet to be desired as he
found he was not effective enough
to be depended upon every fourth
or fifth day-the general routine
for a starting pitcher.
Worked AS Relief
Back to relief pitching went
Tommy at this stage-a capacity
he filled throughout the remain
der of the season. Altogether, he
won seven games while losing
as many and appeared as relief
hurler in the first two Of the
world series, holding the Giants
scoreless in the two innings he
pitched.
Manager Cronin plans to give
Tommy every sort Of opportunity
to show that his arm is COM
pletely healed by handing him
pitching assignments in several
exhibition games and the caily
practice sessions. Cronin wants
to learn what probable value
Thomas will be to the Griffs dur
ing the 1884 campaign.
The Washington times., 1934-03-15

Tommy was not at his best last
season and no mater how hard
the former mainStay Of the White
Sox pitching staff tried, he
couldn't get going properly. His
lame arm was his biggest handi-
cap and the veteran favored it at
every turn.
Injured In 1888

With all this in mind, Manager
Cronin allowed his pitcher to
nurse himself along throughout
the 1888 training grind In the
idea that he'd find himself fit
and ready to pitch soon after
the opening game Of the season.
He was ready in part, but not
quite set to pitch nine-inning
game.
Therefore Tommy was made a

days Of the 1888 race, which as

Seven boxers from Catholic

SKULL DRILLS
To END DAYS
WORKOUTS
By GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent


BILOXI, Miss, March IS.
'Last round for batting practice.
Take heed, men,"
This has been a familiar cry
from Manager Joe Cronin since
the start of the training season
here and it promises to become
even more familiar and significant
after the infielders and outfielders
have donned uniforms following
their scheduled arrival.
For the "cry'' means only one
thing to the many performers at
hand, that being the signal for a
snappy "inside baseball" session
to end the drill for the day.
So far, Cronin has had only
Cecil Travis and Elmer Klumpp as
his pupils for this inside stuff, but
beginning tomorrow he'll have the
entire assemblage at his attention.
for it is his idea to hold drills on
the better ways to play the game,
even though it will make each
days practice session that much
longer.
An example of what goes on,
and what will go on in these
drills, can be taken from bit
which featured and concluded yes
terday'S interesting session.
Cutting Off Runners
The young pilot had Cecil Travis
at third base, Elmer Klumpp be-
hind the bat and Nick Altrock as
batter. Nick hit grounders to
Travis, who practiced cutting off
Would-be base-runners at the plateD
while Klumpp, in turn, threw to
Travis to get imaginary runners
sliding into third.
Later on, Cronin drilled Klumpp
in the art of taxing throws to
second in order to get a would-be
base-runner off third. The pilot
even made himself the base-run"
ner to make the drill easier, order.
ing Travis and Klumpp to run
him down between the bases to
perfect this play, which in many
instances loses ball games because
the third sacker and catcher fail
to function properly while trying
to nab their man.
Best in Years
To conclude the 'lesson," Cronin
had several of his rookie pitchers
get into the outfield and make
throws to the plate. Here,
Klumpp was instructed how to
cover the plate properly, how to
gauge the bounces of the balls
thrown at him, and how to tag
the Would-be base-runner sliding
in with the run that might mean
the ball game.
And last, but not least, both
Travis and Klumpp were given
lessons in the art of fielding
bunts. Both we're shown how to
nab the ball in the best way,
how to set themselves and the
best ways in which to throw the
base needing the put out.
All in all a complete instruc-
ton was experienced by the per-
formers involved and they were
ever ready to admit after the
drill that it was the best they
had been a part of in years.
