AXIOMS OF BASEBALL By FRITZ HOWELL AP Newsfeatures COLUMBUS, O-—Did you know that baseball has its “ten ccm-| mandments’ and its “seven car-| dinal sins?” | Well it has—and it also has a| host of axioms and adages, most| of them based on good, common | sense, | Bob Finch, golden-voiced orator | and puclicity director of the Na-| tional Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (the minors), has| unearthed a lot of stuff from the| writings of some of baseball's greats. Genial Bob, lining up' the more than 100 clinics held for amateur coaches and managers in a dozen| states this spring, asked some of the game’s outstanding figures to| sukmit a few words on how they Jlayed their position. | Some of the replies were star-| tling, coming from men whose| writing many believed was con- | iined to signing expense accountsi or autographs. Bob gave us a quick look at what the ktoys had to say, and here are| a few of the gleamings: | The seven cardinal sins of 'base- | 2all, says Wid Matthews, are fear lust, jealousy, hate, deceit, malice, | evenge. | The ten commarcdments oi base- | all: i 1—Nokody ever pecame a cail player by walking after a ball. | 2—You will never become a .300 sour shoulder. 3—Outtielders who throw the sall back of the runner lock the| sarn after the horse is, stolen. 4—Keep your head up and you| nay not have to hold it down. | 5--When you start to slide—slide! He who changes his mind may| change a good leg for a broken one, 6—Don't alibi on the bad hops. Anyone can field the good ones. T7—Always run them out. You never can tell. | 8—Don't quit. The game is never | over until the last man is out. 9—Don't find too many faults| with the umpires. You can't ex- pect them to be as perfect as you | are. 10—A pitcher who hasn't control, hasn't anything, Muddy Ruel: Pitchers are, most often, as good as they are caught, Ted Lyons: The difference be- (ween 2n athlete who is good and sne who is mediocre is in the one who quits first. Clark Griffith: Stamina in pitch- ers depends upon the strength of cheir legs. Bucky Walters: Good control means that you can throw any | pitch you have, at any time, to‘ che Latter's weakness. Waite Hoyt: Proper mental at- i titude is the basis of success in any ball player. It consists of the will to win, eagerness to learn, and | the intelligence to retain what you learn. Wid Matthews: If what you did yesterday still looks big to you, you naven't done much today. | Steve O'Neill: Warn all young | catchers not to play to the grand-| stand. His position is the ba)ancel wheel of his club and is much too .mponant George Sisler: Do not beconie a one-handed first baseman. Use one hand only when it is impossible {ic make the play with two hands. Jack Fournfer: A player who does not know how to slide ‘usuaily comes up with a broken leg. Bobby Doerr: The matter of physical perfection and discipline is the player’s personal matter. ‘The better respect and care he gives his body the better he ‘can preduce. Billy Herman: To play taseball you must have a healthy mind as well as a healthy body. Joe Cronin: The shortstop should, at all times, play the ball and never the bal play him. Pee Wee Reese: Don't throw the ball if there is no chance to get your man. Bluff the peg—and look elsewhere for a chance to get some- body else. Everett Scott: Be confident of yourself and always get the jump on the ball. Bill Bradley: Charge all slow hit balls. Block all hard-hit balls; if necessary with your body. Red Rolfe: Practice, practice, practice, and then—practice some more. Dixie Walker: If a player enjoys the game it is no effort for him to hustle. Casey Stengel: The center fleld- er should be the outfield quarter- back. Earle Combs: Hitters are born— not made. They can be helped some—not much. Pred Clarke: Many players want to practice what they do best. I practiced what I did worst. i {Pacific Coast League hockey |2-1, dropped the second ,encounter, THE DAILY ALASKA EMI‘H\[ —JUNEAU, ALASKA spklNG BR'NGS OUT BLOSSOMS ————— Stamp Thieves Adive B AP SYD KRONISH Ne turcs Writer James and Jimmy Valen- | tame Mother Goose char- compared with present day stamp thieves.
