Ruether has been scouting for the
Cubs since 1888 and in that brief
time has come up with such players
as Novikoff, whom he yanked right

Ruether spends most of his walk

down the Pacific coast he travels,
looking at sand lot, high school,

told me, land still lost to

error. 1t was the way he took
his defeat in the dressing room
that appealed TO me, even more
than his strikeouts. He patted
his fellow players on the back and

be another afternoon. A tempera-

Ruether said that scouts great

What did OIL Pete Alexander really
say when he was called in from the
bullpen that afternoon to strike out
Lazzeri of the Yanks and win the
world series for the Cards?
How does a baseball scout go about
his business, and what is the first
thing he looks for in a young
player?
Who is the greatest Highlander
who ever pitched a ball?
How do the old spring training
camps differ from the ones today?
l can tell you the answers to
these questions, dear readers, be-
cause few days ago I talked to
the man who knows the answers.
He is Walter Dutch) Ruether,
who from 1918 to 1927, was one of
the most formidable southpaw
pitchers in the game, and a man,
who, being as he worked for Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, Chicago
Washington and the Yankees, did
Mt miss much in either of the
major leagues.
Dutch, now a scout for the Chi
cago Cubs, was in the bullpen for
the Yanks that fateful afternoon
when Alexander was called in to
go against the Yanks.
Pete had just pitched the day
before, and was just summing him
self out in the bullpen," Ruether
told me. He had been out most
of the night before, and had nc
idea of getting in the game. He was
doing away when he got the call
All he did was to shuttle to his
feet, slip his cap on, spit in his
glove, and amble off. He took
about ten steps and then turned
back TO me and said: See you later
Dutch, gotta stop this damn rally
Dutch swears there never was an
other right-hander like OIL Pete.
Just suppose Pete had really
taken care of himself" Dutch mus

have done then. Even SO, you would

Naturally tire boys aren't deeply
tanned, but to date there is no
cause for the fans back home to be-
come alarmed. Playing fields have
generally been damp but none OF
the four teams has lost more than
three regular days of drill and the

the pitchers.
Here Is the situation, by clubs:
Pittsburgh Pirates, at San Ber-

pitchers are coming along very slow
ly. The Pirates have been hit hard
est by the weather as the field has
been useless for three days and
forecasts are pessimistic. At the mo-
ment, last years infield and outfleld
are intact but Frisch must trim the
mound staff down from Is men. The
only ailing player is Maurice Van

stated that Novikoff will be given
a chance to show his power as a
starter. Here, too, pitching is peril
