Ctnc,nrstt Z. New York :.

Buddy said, gently "Out of the bowels of the
earth come behemoths, but Con Graham and
his friends only snorted. 1t was Linda Roberts
who gave expert testimony after seven minutes
of warming up had passed into history. She
said, "Mr Mount Everest has speed"
They began to watch then - and to see
things. Steve Webb was taking slow, easy
wind-up which somehow gave grace to his huge
muscular frame. The snap came from some
where Just before the ball left his hamlike hand
Big Mac wore an expression of interest, not un-
tinged with amazement
After fifteen additional minutes Mac waved
Steve Webb away and rambled over to Mike
Davis, his manager.
"Well?" inquired the laconic Mr.. Davis.
The first words of Big Macs answer were
profanely reverent. After relieving himself of a
few choice but violent expletives, he said, Il
never saw anything like it. There amt six men
in the major leagues who can hold him for nine
innings"
The newspaper lads back of first base we're

beaming and exuding I-told you-sos. Linda
said Il want to meet him"

II sentative for the Cougar Baseball
Association. He was small - five feet
- two with rubber heels - and Wiry He
had bright, sparkling eyes, an impish grin and
sparse sandy hair. He clutched the hand of the
pretty girl who stood beside him, and gazed

Linda Roberts asked, why not?"
"Of course" retorted Buddy. Il never

1t must be, of course. There was Mike Davis
shaking the huge hand of Steve Webb. the
slightly bewildered newcomer from the wilds of
Alabama, and things we're being said. Buddy
Morgan's eyes began to shine: he was thinking
in terms of photographs and newspaper pub
licity This new major league rookie gave
promise of providing good press copy.

why the pessimism?'
"A guy can't look like that and play ball
too." He shook his head forlornly. Something
strange for the newspaper lads to spill adjec
tives on and what happens? The lad will
throw six wild pitches and leave New York for
further seasoning. Then I'll have to 60 to work

The Cougar Stadium is large - so large that
the word tremendous" is considered a gross
understatement. 1t is huge when its double
decked grandstand is jammed with rabid fans,
but it is twice that big during morning practice
when not even peanut boy circulates through
the aisles.
Out from the locker room came Steve Webb.
Somewhere they had found uniform that
wasn't too hopelessly small for him, and with
the uniform much of his gawkiness vanished.
Buddy Morgan and Linda Roberts, standing
back of first base with three second string men
exchanged comments.
Buddy said, He walks like man..

"Watch," advised Buddy hopefully. We'll
see something Or will we?"
Big Mac slipped on a catcher's mitt and
tossed ball to Steve Webb The large lad
from the small town of Crinkle, Alabama,
caught it casually and commenced to warm up.

Inn Riley dropped two bats retained one,
and stepped to the plate Riley was smart and
willing. He had watched Steve warm up and
had plenty of respect for the rookie But Tim
loved speed.
Steve wound up. His big body uncoiled, and
Tim swung. A split second later the ball foated
over the plate, and Tim had the grace to grin
Fooled me that time, he complimented.
Again the wind-up Again Tim almost broke
his back lacing at puff" ball that barely
reached the catcher. He grinned again, but not
so heartily. Teammates were laughing.
Tim dug his cleats into the ground. He saw
Steve's face 60 grim saw big muscles flex knew
that speed was on the way.
But it wasn't, and Manager Michael Davis
delightedly waved Tim away from the plate.
Linda Roberts was blinking "Brainsr' she said
to Buddy. Great, gorgeous gobs of brains"
Mr. Webb continued to have a perfectly
elegant time His slow ball tantalized them.
When he threw his fast one, they couldn't even
see it. Bill Marshall, stellar first baseman and
.342 hitter, famed twice. popped an easy fly to
short and then struck out for the third time.
Mike Davis ordered Steve out of the box. Bill
was still standing at the plate as Steve ambled
nonchalantly toward the dugout.
Mr. Marshall was possessed of disposition
that was never unduly sunny. He was almost as
large as Steve Webb, and fancied himself physi-
cally He blocked Steve's path
Next time' he said, "I'll knock the cover
off the ball"
Steve grinned slowly. Il reckon not"
''Hmph! Think you're smart, don't you?"
Smart enough to make monkey out of
you"

Manager Michael Davis yelled and started
for the plate But he wasn't nearly quick
