employed by the managers aren't
always the type which produces
victories.
For example, Manager Joe Nc
Carthy seldom removes a pitcher
during an inning in an exhibition
game. If some young rookie en-
counters trouble and Is finding 1t
difficult to get the ball over the
plate, Mccarthy doesn't rush out
and lift him during an exhibition
game. ,
The idea Of these managers Is
to develop a winning complex.
And victories during the training
season give the fans OF these
teams little hope for the future.
Managers of established teams,
which are almost certain to figure
in the pennant race, prefer to get
their players ready for the cham

Training Comes Don't Tell
Pilots Whims Make Exhibitions
Poor Gauges, Williams Says

Manager Mccarthy doesn't ask
any regular members of the Red
Sox to wait out pitchers during
the training season, for example.
He knows that pitchers have trou-
bic getting the ball over the plate
during the training season. II he
wanted to win at any cost he
would make all of us take a strike
or two before swinging.
Were playing these exhibition
games to get ready for the regular
season." Joe has frequently told
us. you can't sharpen up your
batting eye by accepting a base
on balls"
Records Not Reliable.
Managers of some of the teams
we have played against this spring
haven't adopted such tactics.
They have ordered their batters to
make our pitchers pitch. AS a re-
suit. some of our inexperienced
pitchers have not looked good.
And we have lost games we might
not have lost during the regular
season.
It is because Of these different
tactics that results during exhi-
bition games give false impress
sions. Unless you are on the
scene and know what is going on
you can't tell whether q team is
as good as its exhibition record
implies.
So don't take too much stock
in the records the various major
league teams have made to date.
They mean absolutely nothing.
Make your predictions. if you
must. on a basis Of the number
of players who know how to play

CHICAGO, April 6.-The NCAA

Choices Not Confined.
There will be no fixed limit on
the number of teams chosen from
any one Of the NCAA's eight dis

from the East and eight from the

Thus, if smaller school or an
Independent has a fine record
against representative opposition,
it could be selected along with the
major conference winner in the
same district.
Heretofore, titlists Of top con-
ferences usually received the trip
while other worthy teams in the
same district were bypassed. There
was only one team from each of
the eight districts in the field.
The new method also would
lessen necessity of playoffs, such
as Bradley, winner of the Missouri
