Show h 0 14 I S IF A i CHIEF MEYERS OF THE BROOKLYN BROOK I S LYN DODGERS It amuses me to hear people shoutIng shoutIng shout shout- Ing that the Dodgers are beginning to crack just because we lost some someS S games In Boston We had a pretty I. I tough time down there and played a alot alot alot lot of bad baseball but now that weve we've got It out of our systems well we'll go right on winning If you think the boys are discouraged dim dis just watch them play They I have the right spirit and will give anybody In the league a run for their money What I like particularly about the Brooklyn team Is their gameness They never know when they're licked and In consequence win wina a lot of games that seem hopelessly lost I JOE flUSH BUSH OF THE PHILADELPHIA PHILADEL PHIA ATHLETICS I am convinced that the Cleveland Indians have been getting the signs of their opponents Why the old worlds world's champion Athletics never de developed developed de- de a more vicious attack than the Indians unravelled against us when we last visited Cleveland They Just simply laid up against everything every every- thing we could offer and slammed It all over the place Every ball bali they touched with a 5 bat almost wa was a slashing line drive and a heart breaking percentage of them spun their way to safe terri tern tory It may be that we were a lot of pitchers In I that series The thirty six runs the Indians batted In while we were scoring only six may have been the result of natural hitt hit hit- t ting ng However the Indians do not figure to hit anything like the way they swatted against us FRANK SCHULTE OF F THE CHICAGO CHICAGO CHI CHI- CAGO CUBS I do not feet a bit older than I did twelve years ago and I do not find It any hard harder r. r to play ball The game has not advanced so much In that time as to make me take a back backseat backseat backseat seat for any younger player and arid you will find that I will be well up In the batting averages at the end of the season I think I am an giving the Cub Cubs better baseball than I have for years because because because be be- cause we have a manager for whom It Is a pleasure to work Tinker In irs my opinion Is la one of the smartest leaders the Cubs Cube have ever had with the possible exception of Frank Selee who was a wonder Harmony I Is the strength and support of our club JOE BOEHLING WASHINGTON SENATORS A fellow can alway always learn leam something something something some some- I thing new This has haa been my ex ex- since Nick Altrock first sug that I pitch overhand Until Nick advised me to switch I was a asIde aside aside side arm southpaw but I wasn't as effective fe as I ought t to o be according dI nr to Nick and d a lot o of other smart pitchers It was no trouble to make this change In my style and now I seldom use the side arm motion to deliver the ball bail because I am convinced that the overhand motion Is the most success success- ful tul I have known pitchers however who In trying I to make the change h f have ruined i their careers s The style they first used was the most natural one of course FRED LUDERUS PHILADEL PHIA NATIONALS Honus Wagner made what I believe be lieve was the greatest play I ever saw In a game with the Phillies on our home grounds With one o out t the Phils Phile one run behind and Magee Magse on 00 base Lobert hit a fly twenty feet behind second Wagner dashed back I never never seeing the ball bali but running with that great Instinct that directs his every move He stuck out his I hand the ball fell Into It then Honus turned a complete somersault still holding the ball bail Magee twenty feet down the line stopped and hurried back to the sack for the Dutchman's throw to Gibson at the plate was true as a die He threw from a sitting position and the catch was made blindly |
