Show PRACTICES IN BUSH LEAGUES Manager More Bent on Winning Games by Trickery Than Developing Young Players. The minor leagues produced few good ball players the last summer few good ones that the big leagues wanted. A critic points out that In many of the minors the former big leaguers who act as managers are more interested In winning games by anything they can get away with than In polishing up some diamond In tha rough who would make good In the majors. For instance, pitchers in the smaller minors adopt certain Illegal motions and get away with them. These same men In the big leagues are required to pitch legally, which Is one reason they do not show with the same eclat as when they were In the bushes. |
