Show "How to Stay in Big League and Be .Considered aJLemohbyAlarquard After dus consideration and profound pondering I have about made np my mind to writ a book entitled ''How to Stay in tha Big League Throe Tear Without Making Good." Tha book, no doubt, will be Intsrest-Ing Intsrest-Ing te many followers of the game and perhaps would help ambitious young-str young-str who ara shy th valuabl assets of a pi teher fooler. Not that I haven 't got (he felsrs ' John MoGraw kaowa that J have but I hsvsa't been able ta get them go-lag go-lag so that I could b termed a real winning pitcher. , How bar I got past without getting aared by the hookf Easv; I Just kept makiag excuses. When one wars out ' a ry asother bat I hsv had an that haa stood by m through thick and thia and every time th hostil batter bat-ter heansd my shoot snd I waa forced to retire to th dngout I weald (pring itand Strang to relate, get . away with it. When tha bona would' jump oa me for not being able to fool the batter after ha had separated himself from -large portion of tha club's backing to annex ma, I arauld aarnsstly plead that I eouldat get np n good sweat x Somehow or other, sines T same to th New York club, I have 't beea able to warm np decently except nnder th collar whan MeGraw called me down. If I sould make th perspiration roll off m ia basketful, I'd pitch a no hit rme every day or ao. Whea I swsat aaa fool them; when T can't, I'm a bum. I bsvs pitched lost enough good ' baseball since I have been with tha giant team to eaus McGraw to keep me, and that 's about all. As soon aa I get perfectly aceli-mated aceli-mated I'll begin to win with great rsg- . nlarity, I think. I hop that all the trouble I have' had with my aweating svstsm hae been worked out. and I west to pitch tha -beat sort of baseball all this year. Anytime Any-time I ran sweatand thia ia no excuse ex-cuse this lima I ran pitch winning ball; therefore, th bot weather for mia. |
