camp for the first time (this was in the
spring of 1882 Red Ruffing was their
pitching coach. He told of method a
pitcher can use to discourage a rival who
is throwing at the hitters.
You don't throw at the beanball
pitcher, himself" Ruffing said. How many
pitchers can hit? may have been one
exception. Anyway, George Earnshaw Of
the Athletics hit me in the head one day.
Didn't hurt much my head is hard y.
but knew he did 1t on purpose and I
warned Earnshaw I'd get even"
RUFFING'S WAY OF GETTING even
was to ignore Earnshaw and concentrate
on the power hitters Of the ASA Sim
mons, Jimmy Foxx and Mickey Cochrane.
II knocked all three Of them down."
Red grinned land there was hell to pay
in the Philadelphia dugout. Only they
weren't taking 1t out on me, but on Earn
shaw Even Mr.. (Connie) Mack was
shouting at George. ANY minute thought
Simmons, Cochrane or Foxx might take
a swing at Earnshaw for starting the whole
thing
There wasn't any more trouble after
that Funny part Of 1t is, Earnshaw was
a good friend Of mine"
AT FLOYD PATTERsoNS final pre-
fight press conference in Las Vegas most
Of the newsmen left too soon, or didn't
listen, when Lawyer Julius November of
New York took over the nicrophone when
Freud (as the Britishers call him) fin
iShed. Otherwise, they might have d.
gested an announcement to weigh against
Patterson's post-fight announcement that
he had no intention Of retiring.
November, who handles Patterson's
affairs, spoke against scrsping Of chairs,
half q hundred voices and the sound of
ice falling into highball glasses. What At
torney November said, in effect, was:
IT am pleased to announce that Floyd
Patterson, in partnership with Jackie
Robinson and Willie Mays, is engaged In
developing an integrated resort hotel and
casino on Grand Bahama Island,
off the coast Of Florida :"
1t promises to become more than a
operation. In fact, an integrated
community at Wurtsboro Hills, N. Y, al
ready has been started by the Robinson
Patterson Development Corp, and Nevada
and California businessmen at Las Vegas
spoke Of the partners chances Of operating
on a national scale.
Place this item alongside F1oyd's dec
laration that he would start at the bot
tom in the fight game and try to fight
his way up. With that chin, plus gross
ring earnings Of SIS million?

smog layers we're piled three-deep and the
temperature scared into the oOs with HUI
Nudity to match, what happens except that
our Redskins pile into bus and take off
for training camp?
This sort of foolishness-you see, base
ball still has nearly nine weeks to run,
plus the World SerieS-used to be a topic
that sermonizers could kick around with
impunity. Imagine, for example, PubliciSt
Joe Holman already grinding out his
grist for the Almas Temple Shrine game
between the Redskins and Chicago Bears
at D. c. Stadium!
Close inspection Of photographs taken
Of the Redskins departure, however, sug-
gests q more tolerant view. That was as
rare collection of pot bellies as you're
ever likely to see at the Redskins launch
ing pad. Two linemen stood side by side
and the suet Of the duet was staggering to
behold. What do these guys do between
Christmas and August, except eat?'
THE NEW BREED STYLE Of thinking
in the prize fight business never was so ap-
parent as when the Nevada State Athletic
Commission, staging one of its several hit
and-run meetings prior to the Liston-
Patterson fiasco, skinned over the con-
tracts for. the benefit Of the press.

is as the managers Of these fighters2"
asked New York boxing writer
Chairman John Gammick, one-time
welterweight, tapped the document with
his finger. "As far as the Nevada Com
mission is concerned" he said, neither
man has a manager. This contract was
signed only by the two principals and no
reference Is made to either having q man
ager"
Old Doc Kearns who cashed his chips
recently, got out just in time. This isn't
his era. At that, Patterson must be
pretty shrewd manager in his own right.
How did he ever find sparring partners
who wouldn't or couldn't knock him out in
training?
THE CURRENT HASSLE CONCERN
ING the beanball, buster or flip pitch
whatever one chooses to call it-inSpired
a call from Maj. Charles Coulter, SO, who
lives at the Methodist Home in town. The
major recalled q retaliatory measure he
used in his day when he was managing
ball teams in France in 1917.
Learned it from McGraw's old ORR
oles," he said. THE hitter who feels or
knows he's being thrown at simply ducks
that pitch or passes 1t up and waits
for the next one and then lets the
bat fly at the pitcher"
