Modern Ball Players Are } ‘Babied’ Too Much, Asserts One Catcher of Old Days MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March 11. iAdd to the chorus of baseball's ancients crying out against the “softness” of modern baseball the voice of Jack Zalusky, star catcher for the New York Yankees and {Chicago Cubs 30 years ago. Modern diamond athletes are “pabied too much for their own now a guard at a Minneapolis bank. “Now-a- days when a player gets some mi- [nor injury they immediately drag ihim off to a hospital, In my day when someone got hurt they just wrapped a rag around his wound and he kept right on playing. “And not only that,” Zalusky adds, “too much care is taken to see that they don't get over-work- ed. When I broke info organized {ball with Louisville in 1900 I caught 174 games without losing an in- ning. spike cuts. wasn't unsual. Today a pitcher working two games in one day or two successive days is regardel as ‘a phenom.” Despite moder ntales of “inside | baseball” Zalusky insists the pres- end-day game isn't as “scient (@ A ) We have not gone into the sit- uation extensively enough to dis- |cover what the composite or av- erage major ball player would look like, if anything, but our re- search department comes up with | some rare exhibits, to show the extremes in the physical make-up jof the talent now being assembled |for spring testing. There is some question whether | the .rosters tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so far as the vital statistics are concern- If they do, the only real ri- vals for honors of the ‘“dread- nought” class are Bob Fothergill, 230-pound outZielder of the Boston {Red Sox, and Babe Ruth, listed for a mere 220 pounds. The suspicion is that the Bam- bino will be closer to 230 than 1220 when the 1933 season opens, but this may be doing him an in- Jjustice. We will accept the offic- ial figures, with a notation for later check-up. RED SOX HAVE VARIETY Fothergill deserves the heavy- weight title by reason of his abil- ity to pack so much poundage in- to a frame measuring only 5 feet 10 inches. Ruth is four inches taller and five years older. The current Red Sox are a very strange collection, gathered from the highways and byways of base- ball. They boast the lightest player in the American League in This was ins spite of varioys | |split fingers and “Our pitchers often worked mree] jar four games in a row, and for |one man to pitch a double-header as it used to be. He -calls Willie Keeler the most 'scientific batter of all time, The game of today, Jack says, would be improved measureably if the players would put “heartand soul” into their work. “Their primary purpose now,” |he says, “appears to be making | money, not playing ball. In our days we played for the love of the game, and practiced hours before and after the game.” Jack would like to see a game tween his mythical all-star team lor old-timers—in their prime—and the pick of the modern gzame'’s protagonists. His*all stars would have Ty Cobb, Keeler, Ed Dele- hanty and "Tris Speaker in the outfield, Frank Chance at first, Larry LaJoie at second, Jimmie Collins at third and Hans Wag- ner at short, Johnny Kling and Jimmy Archer as catchers, and Rube Waddell, Christy Matthew- son, Walter Johnson and Amos |Rusie for a pitching staff. Zalusky, now 53, played with the Cubs in 1901 and the Yankees in 1903. He also played with Louis- jville, Indianapolis, St. Paul and Minneapoks of the American As- ;»cciation, and at Spokane, Wash., {Denver Colo., and Luxbury, Pa. “Rabbit” Warstléer, the infielder, who scales only ,150 pounds, anc have a comendetz jfor the distinc- tion of being the. tallest in the circuit, -Bob Welland, pitcher, whc stands 6 feet 4 inches. Smead Jolley, now listed as a catcher, and Dale Alexander heavy hitting firstbaseman, coulc make a good pair of tackles. Both stand 6 feet 3 inches in height Jolley weighs 218 and Alexander 210. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES The tallest player in either big league is Eppa Jeptha Nlxéy, Cincinnati's veteran southpaw, who soars 6 feet 5 inches. Babe Her- shaw of the A’s, each 6.feet 4 are gmong the nearest rivals. | The | shortest Adams, distinction of being the goes to Earl (Sparky) third baseman of the St. Louis Cardinals. By measuring only 5 feet 4% inches Adams sqeezes under 40-year-old Rabbit Maranville of the Braves, who neverthless represents the loudest 5 feet 5 inches in the game. The American League's midget is Frank Pytlak, Cleveland catcher, 5 feet 6 inches. Except in the “dreadnought” di- vision, the National League has a margin in most of these depart- ments. Paul Derringer, Cardinal; pitcher, is the heaviest at 215. Hughey Critz, diminutive Giant infielder, scales only 145 pounds for the lowest ringside weight in either league. The distinction of being the oldest belongs, of course, lyns. Many say Old Jack is 50 or more but ‘even the 47 years marked up for him on the roster are enough to surpass his leading American League rival, 44-year-old DAILY SPORTS CARTOON 4E RECENTLY WONTHE W WORLD'S WELTERWEISAT TLE B FRoM VACKIE FIELDS -~ { «s THEN CAME.

' There was no professional foot= {ball organization in Brazil until ia few months ago, and the migra- tion of amateurs to European, Ar+ gentine and Uruguayan profes- sional ranks had become a prob- lem. When the Brazilians turned to Pprofessionalism however, they found they couldn't pay enough to keep the stars at home, and the migra- tion went right on. Domingos, center, who starred in the recent Brazilian amateur triumph over | Uruguyan professionals, refused Brazilian professional offers as in- significant and went to Uurguay. Six of Sao Paulo’s best players, migrated together to Italy about a|== week after Sao Paulo’s professional| league had been formed. The secret is that the amateur {teams paid about as much in gifts jand “transportation fees” as the new professional teams pay in sal- aries, . —_———— Advertisements are your pocket- book editorials.
