MEXICAN publishers, as a
rule have never been con-

- - Sidered slow on the up
take or lacking IN timing, and
neither have those of the countrys
sports writer's with ambition
enough to try to turn an honest
dollar by writing a book. -.
So it was not surprising that
there was a rash of baseball books
during 1850, the 50th season for
the American League as major
organization, and the"75th for the
National League, quite frequently
and tiresomely referred to on the
sports pages as the senior circuit.
The 1850 season also was Connie
Mack's 50th as manager OF the
Philadelphia Athletics and this
accounted for two books-each
bearing the old gentleman's name,
but with different publishers
within a space of four days last
April.
Given access to all this wordage.
it is at least conceivable that
visitor from Mars-also given a
working knowledge of the Ian
guage-might need only few
weeks to equal the average fan in
baseball lore.
Most of the books were pretty
good. too, and several were out
standing. But it's too bad that
so many of them hit the market
at about the same time.
The Publishers Outguessed
The Sportswriters
Aside from the flood of baseball
publications, which will be dis
cussed in more detail later. one has
to give the publishers credit for
more prescience than the sports
writer's. They avoided a lot OF
pitfalls by not putting out any
books on Notre Dame football in
1850. A year ago. Frank Leahy.
the Irish coach, revealed scme of
his secrets of the T formation be-
tween book covers while Frank
Wallace's The Notre Dame Story"
also came out just as football
practice was begun. In 1948,
there was an illustrated history OF
IIlC 1SOGIc DdulC-A lily oCl4Co
which terminated the year before.
But this year the publishers
must have sensed a turn IN Notre
Danes fortunes, even if the writ
ing forecasters didn't. Followers
of the Irish may or may not take
heart from a recent announce
ment by the New York publishing
firm of Henry Holt & Co. that a
new and more comprehensive
story of Notre Dame, written by
Novelist Richard Sullivan, is due
for publication in the Fall of 1851.
Football books didn't cut much
of a figure in 1850. Perhaps the
best circulated was Football: Sc
crets of the Split T Formation"
by Don Faurot. the Missouri
coach. Faurot, whose split T
innovation resulted from expert
ments made when he had to de-
wise new attack after the gradu-
alton of Paul Christman. his
sharpshooting quarterback. has
received a bit of extra publicity
because of his inability to beat two
of his split T disciples, Jim Tatum
of Maryland and Bud Wilkinson of
Oklahoma. His book is highly in
formative and authoritative, but
it's anything but light reading for
the average week end fan.
