Show Hinchman of Pittsburgh Tells Amusing Incident Bill Hinchman, who acts as coach and scout for the Pirates, relates an amusing incident that took place not long ago In a small league. He had been assigned to peep at a southpaw pitcher. Bill decided to keep his identity a secret, buy an admission ticket and "hide" In the stands. He found a seat in back of first base and soon became be-came engaged in conversation with a wild fan sitting next to him. This fan was full of conversation and volunteered a lot of information about various players on the team. Bill quickly spotted the player he wanted want-ed to watch. Practice was on and Bill in a matter-of-fact voice turned to him and said, "Who's that southpaw warming up?" The fan shot back an indignant glance. "Say, where have you been?" he cried. "Why, that's the best lefthander left-hander in this league. Every day there's a big league scout looking at him." |
