Sport Phrases Are Given Peculiar Twist Latin America has coined Its own expression pertaining to baseball, nod the peculiar twists glve.n to Yankee sports phrases are echoed In all lands where Spanish is the predominant language. Baseball Is termed "belsbol" and when a swarthy batt!'r swats out a long one and reaches home on It the term Is "jonron" or bome run. The pitcher Is the "picher" and the catcher Is the "cncher." Of course, there are Spanish appellations for bats "palos," gloves or "quantes" and the players "Jugndores." In other lines of sports there are similar copying of American names and phrases wade adaptable to the Spanish by changes in spelling, often weird. For Instance, football Is "tutbol."

The secret lies In his leg1, which are modeled after tllose of a greyhound.
