Finally Finds Niche.

Is Chubby Dean, bright boy
from North Carolina. Last Spring
Dean left the sophomore class at Duke
University to join lis. urged him to
finish his course, but like lots Of COL
lege boys. he had his heart set on
Try the big leagues at once. So I
signed him.
AS freshman he was \ left-handed
pitcher with no little success. but he
didn't like 1t. A natural hitter, he
wanted to be in every game. Prob
ably he. like lots more boys, was in
duenced by the story Of Babe Ruth
At the end Of his freshman year
Dean joined an independent team for
the Summer. AS I understand it,
players down there can play with such
teams without hurting their standing.
Anyway. Deans point in joining this
team Was to hit, not to pitch. He
made the manager agree not to pitch
him.
Can't Overcome Fever.
DEAN returned to Duke, but the
base ball bug had him and he
joined us before playing a varsity
game. 1t didn't take long to see Dean
could hit. A left-handed swinger, he
has An impressive stance at the plate
and good eye. He rams liners over
the infleld in SHler style.
At the start used Chubby solely
as a pinch-hitter, but it wasn't long
before he was attracting attention.
He ripped OF IS pinch hits in SO
times st bat for An average Of .4o7.
Six hits we're doubles and he drove
in IL runs.
Chubby's 1895 average wasn't that
high, OF course. In midseason I used
him regularly at first for a spell and
his hitting fell of. Yet experienced
base ball men who saw him agreed
Dean will make an exceptional hitter.
But his position?
Tried at first, his fielding was un-
even. Sometimes he'd make 4 clever
play; other times he looked bad. But
when you consider he rushed into the
ma Jors without any fielding experience
and was trying An entirely new posi-
aon, think his work was wonderful
Unless my plans are upset, I'll use
Dean mainly as 4 pinch hitter in
1887. but will have him working In
the inheld in practice. He may be-
come our regular first baseman, but
you never know where they'll At in.
JuSgled Eddie Collins.
M REMINDED of Eddie Collins,
who became one of the mishtiest
fielding and batting second basemen
IN history. Eddie was like Dean when
he hrst joined us in 1906. He also
came direct from college, Columbia
University.
From the start knew had a real
hitter, but Eddie's fielding gave me
many Z headache.
First I tried him At shortstop, but
he looked ungainly. Figuring he was
not an infielder, I tried him In the
outf1eld. I soon saw he couldn't play
there, either.
Even so, l never gave up on Eddie
and used him mainly as pinch
hitter, just as I am doing with Dean,
and Eddie seldom failed me. l was
willing to wait and watch him de-
velop. The turning point came in the
training camp trip of 1909. Tried at
second. Eddie made good overnight.
and became one of the all-time stars
OF the game.
l have a hunch Dean is another
Collins and will find his spot one Of
these days. Maybe this 1887 camp
trip Is Deans winning point.

Other Miller Thourhts,

N NOW. let's get down to the gloves, :"
said the Major. THE ones now
used are too light The colleeians
should have gloves from 10 to II
ounces. depending on the weight Of
the contestant.
And I am strong for the elimina-
ton Of all bandases. With big, soft
gloves hands used correctly will not
be hurt. There Is a tendency to look
upon the bandages as an aid to a
blow. That Is wrong. Many good
fighters in the pro ranks never use
any bandages. Injured hands are
caused by incorrect hitting and this
is particularly so about hurt thumbs.
In correctly delivered blow, hook,
1ab or uppercut, the thumb should
never make contact
Thumbs are hurt by swings"
declared Heinie, "and no good
fighter should ever swing or get
hit by . swing"
The major also insists upon the
employment Of two judges in addi-
ton to the referee and q strict pre-
meet physical examination Of all con-
testants.
