games, played the next two and
then he went back.
$50 I had some experience and
had been around long enough to
know McGraw and the bali club by
the time 1 got to San Antonio in the
spring of 1920. But I still didn't
know what it was all about.
"No young ball player can learn
much in less than one full season.
Looking back now, it seems to me
that it was a long time before !
learned anything. All had on my
side at San Antonio that spring
were speed and willingness. didn't
know how to play for hitters, but !
usually could get in front Of the ball
and knock it down with my chest
and pick it up and throw the hitter
out. Somebody said about Pepper
Martin few years ago that if his
chest held out he would make a
good third baseman. That's what I
said about myself long before that.
MOved to Third Base
"You see, McGraw switched me
to third base that spring. I had
played shortstop at Fordham and
broken in with the Giants as SUBJ
stitute for Doyle at second, but dur
ing the winter Heinie Zimmerman,
our third baseman, had been re-
leased, so Mac moved me to third.
zone of the first things he did was
to tell me to throw away the glove I
had and order a new one. My old
glove wasn't much bigger than q
kid glove-a little, thin thing with
no pocket in it, but Mac got glove
for me with which I could at least
knock the ball down, and that gave
me some protection.
"Then he worked with me every
day. He taught me how to make
my moves-when to play in, back,
or half way-how to break for a
ball-how to get it away with the
least possible delay. There were
days when I couldn't seem to do
anything right and I'd worry and
fret, but he never lost patience with
me. He not only gave me lessons
in how to play third base but he also
taught me how to work with young
ball player.
"What's the main difference in
conditions as the rockies find them
nowadays and as they were when
you came up, Frank" ! asked.
They're easier" he said. 'Kids
come up faster and, although they
are better paid, managers don't
seem to expect so much of them.
In my time as rookie, you were
just fellow looking for job.
"You had to make your own way
and get to know the other fellows as
best you could. Nowadays they take
a young fellow around and introduce
him to everybody to make him feel
at home.
81 can't say that anybody ever,
was disagreeable to me when I
broke in-I came after the period
in which the older players wouldn't
speak to the rockies and chased
them away from the plate in batting
practice. But today the other play
ers are more helpful than they were
when broke in"

Just before left New York / sat
around with Frank one night and
among the things we talked about
were the days he broke in with the
Giants under John McGraw. 1t was
20 years ago that Frank first went

bers it all clearly. This is good
break for the young players who
will report to him at the Pirate
camp-just as it was for the rockies
who came up under him when he
managed the Cardinals.
You see, with 20 years Of success

POLICE PREPARE
 WRITTEN REPORTS

Policemen are being required to make out written reports for each arrest except in cases of simple" intoxication, Prosecuting Attorney Michael J. Galullo said today.
 This method, according to the prosecutor, capacities the work of the city court staff in preparing cases for trial
 Written reports are being made also in motor vehicle cases, the ar- resting officer setting forth the cir- cumstanceS of the arrest and the reasons why he preferred 8 specific charge.
 Previously, specific charges were not put against an offender in motor vehicle case, the officer mere ly charging violation of the motor vehicle law" and letting the prose- cutor determine what particular vio- lation was involved.
 The written reports are checked by the prosecutors staff before trial time each morning, and the case is ready to proceed on the hour.
 The prosecutor, of course, will re- serve the right to change charge, if he thinks the officer is in the wrong,

A special committee of the board of education, which was to have conferred with Corporation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch last week, and this week, on a new system of ap- pointing high school teachers, has not even approached the corpora tion counsel, it was learned today. Asked whether any committee spoke to him, MT. Lynch replied:
 'T've heard nothing about it. No one has seen me-"
 At the last meeting of the school board, following protest by Comsr John J. Kearney and Harold Per- kinson that the matter seemed to have run high and dry, the com mittee replied they would confer with Lynch in 8 few days. This was last week.
 Asked whether the committee had gone into conference last week, a member of the group said:

Moe And His Family Made Quite a Splmge |. Black Hills Folks May Miss Them This Summer
BY JOE ROLLER

NEA Service Special Correspondent
 Belle Fourche, s. D., April 29.- Folks out here in the Black Hills aren't sure whether they're glad or mad about the news that Moe An- nenberg has pleaded guilty in Chi cago to income tax evasion, and so probably won't be visiting here this summer.
 The millionaire Philadelphia and racing news publisher is a sort of neighbor here, where he owns Ranch A, 8 $3O0,0O0 summer lodge, and corrals some of the best trout streams for his private fishing.
 He rolled into quiet little Belle Fourche, once the greatest cattle shipping point in the world, one afternoon back in 1882. He was NEWS here and the boys practi- cally spread out a red carpet for him to drive in on.
 The publisher said he had eaten a mess of trout ill a small cafe and wanted to know where they were caught. They were caught in Sand Greek, a tiny stream run ming out of the Black Hills just across the state line near Beulah, Wyo. Annenberg said he wanted more of 'em.
 He got 'em. The Annenberg agents swung into action and first things the folks of Belle Fourche and SpearfiSh and surrounding towns knew they had a neighbor up on Sand Creek. M. L." came down to the commercial club one day and made a speech and the thing looked good for the tourist business.
 CAN'T DO THAT
 ON SAND CREEK
 And then Annenberg started op- erationS on his Ranch A. That was all right, too, till the fence went up, an 8-foot wire fence, with a guard at the gate and a lot of signs hung around. The signs said "Pri- vate: No TreSpassing."
 You can't do that on Sand Creek. The creek belongs to ev- erybody.
 Ranch A wasn't much of 6 ranch. In fact, it wasn't right to call 1t ranch out here where ranches run to 25,000 acres.
 The publisher said he wanted 8 lodge. The lumbermen said you couldn't cut green logs and use 'em right away. But Annen- berg was paying for it SO they cut the logs and put Up a beautiful place in record time. Afterward
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-04-29

the logs shrank and had to be chinked up.
 It was an attraction right away on Sand Creek; that is, if you could get in. A few people man. aged somehow. The lodge had eight bedroom suites with indi- vidual showers, 8 huge dining room, a pool room, and living room, etc. The living room walls were "westernized" with cowboy stuff.
 MOE MOVES IN
 ON THE TROUT
 Then thc fishing trouble started. Annenberg had cleaned up the trout stream running through his place, combed Sand Creek for moss and snags, shaved the banks of under brush. You couldn't snag 8 hook.
 And you couldn't snag a fish. A lot of complaints started about Annenberg running the fishing for the rest of the people on Sand Creek.
 Nothing was done about 1t, but the glamor began to wear thin right there.
 The publisher spent c few weeks at Ranch A when 1t was finished. The first summer he put in teletype to keep up with his business. The next summer he took it out.
 He got up at 6:30, had break fast at 2, generally alone. Then wearing baggy knickers, a cotton
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-04-29

shirt and a battered hat, the mill lionaire would gather up his ex- pensive fishing equipment and hit for the clean-shaven stream.
 His family came out but the daughters didn't like the place ano never came back after the first summer. His son Walter had his picture taken in cowboy togs After the heat got on Annerberg he stopped all pictures, bought ur everything he thought had beer taken. except the shot of Walter ALL COMFORTS
 OF HOME
 The publisher had a few guests including his summer physician, Dr Lyle Hare of Spearfish. He gave the doctor and his family an all- expense trip to New York by ail to see a Joe Louis bout and the fair. ...s
 Annenberg liked to sit around the kitchen at Ranch A and kic his favorite cook, Rose Baba, who flew out from New York with him.
 Ranch A is in charge of a care taker now. There is also . gar. dener, and a groom. The groom looks after IS horses and 8 flocl of young ducks. Annenberg L fond of roast duck. The estatt also has deer, elk and antelope The antelope are so tame theyl drink milk out of 8 bottle.
 In fact, everything is pretty l tame right now at Ranch A.
