until finally the kid blurted out:

Daz was at the fag-end of an illustrious
career and the kid's remark stung him.

happened to be watching, too, and for the
moment my heart stood still, because the old
Dazzler could put hook on his curve that
looked like the bend in pretzel.
Wide-eyed, the kid tried to follow the ball.
He meant to catch it if it was the last thing
he ever did. And he caught it - in his bare
hand about six inches off the ground. 1t
smashed his middle finger to smithereens. The
bone just stuck out

the next day he was one of the first out on the
field - and in uniform! I'm going to keep in
shape, just running around, until l can play
again, he called to me.
Then there was the little shaver who came
all the way from North Dakota last spring,
and plagued the life out of me to let him be
our mascot! With such start he was sure he
would make the team when he grew up. You
get thrill out of kids like that.
These schools are brand new phase of
baseball. When the sand-lots, which have

produced 50 many stars, began to be crowded
out by city buildings, the big leagues saw the
danger and got busy. If the stream of
young talent was to keep flowing. more young
sters had to learn baseball The school idea,
which had started four or five years ago in
rather haphazard fashion, was the answer. So
organized baseball took the idea over. Now it
runs its own schools with club owners and
big-league managers in charge. Eight schools
are going full force this spring - each with
two or three hundred pupils.
Our Cardinal organization, which operates
more than twenty minor league clubs, has
concentration camps scattered over the ooun
try. Several hundred kids assemble at each
of these camps, to try out for jobs with our
farm clubs. And, as sort of post graduate
course, we are inaugmating this spring new
type of school at Bradenton. Florida. The
cream of the crop of youngsters will 60 there.
Most of these schools run for six weeks
and they're pretty much alike. Two or three
hundred kids, all sure they're pitchers, or
catchezs or fielders hit camp in body - and
it's up to Us to find out what they really are.
In few days many would-be pitcher has
become promising outfielder - and self
styled first basemen find themselves behind
the plate.
Then the school gets down to routine.

pitchers and complete new teams being sub

and catchers. Out of the game and over to
corner of the field for expert instruction.
Pitchers forget all their pet curves and
deliveries and learn how the bali should be
thrown, with the entire body behind it.
Catchers get training in the most important
detail of backstopping - the free and easy
motion of the hands.
We teach these kids everything we know
about baseball - we even tell them how to
eat. Always just light lunch! For some, that
advice isn't necessary. Many kid arrives
in camp with thirty dollars in his pocket =
twenty-five for his tuition, and FIVE which he
hopes will pay his board for six weeks.
You've got to watch them, or they'll starve
themselves, trying to make good. And every
now and then one of these kids, who hasn't
got an extra dime, gets sick.

hate it -a and I've got to tell that sad
story to scores of youngsters during the next
few weeks.
For right now several thousand kids are
studying baseball at the new schools that
major-league clubs have started in various
parts of the South. A lot of them will go back
home, with broken dreams. But three -fouths
of them will be good enough to land job
with minor League teams And some of them,
in few years. will be breaking into the big
leagues, like John Meketi, who's up for a try
out with the Giants this spring.
From every town and hamlet in the country
they have come to these schools Some have
thumbed rides all the way from Canada
Others have borrowed money to come by bus
or train from Massachusetts, and Minnesota
and Oregon. Many arrive in camp with only
baseball glove and few extra clothes wrapped
in paper - no uniform, no baseball shoes. Few
have much more than the SIS which the
average school charges for tuition.
And all of them look on the baseball school
as the would be movie star regards Hollywood
as the first step on the road to fame.
It's amazing to see what some of these
youngsters will do to get started on that road.
