HAS HOOKS WILTSE'S MOVE TO FIRST BASE

George finds that the game has changed since he broke in under the name of George Miller with East Liverpool in the old Penn -Ohio- Maryland league in 1906.
 Pitchers used to pitch accord ing to what they suspected the batter was going to do hit away or bunt. Now hitters wait for the criple and swing for Borough Hall, as they said years ago in Brooklyn" /!
 George still uses the screw or sinker ball which Mathewson taught him the day after he beat Big Six.
 As kid of 14, George, a native Pittsburgher, was escorted into the home of the Pirates by Honus Wagner. Fifteen years later, he struck out his boyhood idol with his screwball.
 Hans followed the third strike clear around to the dugout in his swing" laughs George. "He stopped long enough to yell to me: Boy, you've got something therer"
 Georges advice to young pitch CTS is to watch an old fellow.
 T learned plenty by following Hooks Wiltse, the old left-hander of the Giants. He taught me his move to first base and change of pace.'
 Lefty George learned a lot along his long baseball trail much about pitching and taking care of himself.
 A pitcher has to know all the ropes to be around at 54.

 She forgot for while, Miss Hardwick explained, all the things she usually remembered during a tennis match.

There will be about two dozen daredevils in all in the seven races of 121 laps, teh feature of which will be forty-lapper.
