The pleasant shade of the tree moved “Pop” to tay something of climate and. sport. “Pacific coast athletes can work outdoors 12 months in the year,” was his ‘answer to a question as to the ef- fect of climatic conditions. “That's. why Washington's crews predominate. That's why const uni- versities sweep through: eastern track and field opponents. That's why most of the best football teams. of the east are defeated on the const. “The eastern athlete trajns out-of- doors only when weather permits, the rest of the time in the gymnasium, On the coast a gymnasium is chiefly a place to take a shower bath.

The second reason goes back to climate. Without snow and with comparatively little rain dur- ing the football season, a coach and team generally get good fields for their big games. “Double and triple passing plays 4re rhearsed with the confidence that good weather will permit their une.

After watching Hornsby in action for 18 games at shortstop, Huggins realized he possessed great ability, but was very inexperienced. It seem- ed he would need a year or two in) the minors before he was ready for the big show, Desiring to let Hornsby know that he was pleased with his showing and to are him for a possible trip to the minors for a year or two, he called him aside and whispered thus- ly to him: “I regard you as a Lig league pros- pect, Hornsby, but I avn’t think you are quite rendy. It may be necessary to send you {o one of our farms for @ year or two.” It was the intention of Huggins to farm him to one of the minor league clubs with which St. Louis at the time had a working ngreement. Hornsby made no re; took what Huggins said literally.
