Their names sound faintly familiar. Taylor? Now we remember. He was that great big fellow just out of the service who could hit a base- ball a country mile. He was the talk of the camp for the first week at Phoenix. Almost every time he came up he either hoisted one far and away over the right field fence or slashed a double into the open spaces. “There’s this much for certain— he can really hit tiaat ball,” said Manager Leo Durocher. “‘With that big bat and the way he swings, all he needs is to get a piece of it. That short right field wall of ours is built for him. He could give what I need out there.” For quite a time, we recall, the handsome ex-soldier played right field every day and the boys began to speculate on what would be- come of Don Mueiler, the splash hitter who had previously owned the job. The only thing was, they noticed, that Taylor seemed to take an awful long time getting to first and that he had difficulty locating line drives. Worthington? Ah, yes, that was the youngster who wasn’t even on the club’s official roster—a sleeper if there ever was one. We won't Shellenback, the Giants’ astute and vastly respected pitching coach, told of his find. “Don’t overlook this kid,” he warned. “‘He could he the surprise of the year. He couldn't throw a ball straight sf he wanted to. Everything he throws has some- thing on it, and usually a lot. All he’s got to do is get it over the plate and nobody’s going to hit him. I’m anxious for him to get a chance to show you what he can do.” ‘ Unfortunately, we missed the Worthington debut a few days later, but checked up anxiously to find if the youngster had forced the opposition to fan the high Arizona air. Turned out he hadn't. Something to do with lack of con- trol, but his pitches had, indeed, jumped and swerved and given his catcher a bad time. We were ad- vised to wait until next time. Samford? Why, sure, he was the little pepperpot second baseman |who teamed so brilliantly with | Daryl Spencer at Minneapolis last season and was gcing to nail down jat least a utility jeb with the parent team. Every time he got ‘in there in the late innings he {looked like a million dollars and jevoked stirring ptaise from Du- | rocher, What Taylor, Worthington and Samford have been doing with) | themselves know. Anyway, lately we wouldn't they had their respective days, and maybe all of | them will be back. It’s baseball. NEW YORK #—Baseball people are the funniest people of all. They devote a month of hard work to getting their players in . shape down South and out West and then they light in and see if they can’t make cripples out of them in a final silly fortnight. We speak as a fugitive from the |New York Giants-Cleveland Indi- ans barnstorming special, having escaped through the clever ruse that we meant to attend a mythi- cal heavyweight boxing match at Chicago. We felt at the time as though we had been beat over the head with a set of harness. The Indians and the Giants, be- ing bound by contract, still are knocking themselves out in one- night stands through the Deep South. Those still physically able | will be playing at Alexandria, La., jtoday and wondering why they didn't take up dentistry for a liv- jing. By the time they finally ar- rive back here this week end they | will look and feel like escapees {from a labor camp. | Nobody now kving seems to j know who first thought up these jtorture tours, or exactly why. | There is, of course, some money lim it, but you would be surprised jto know the percentage of same | that is eaten up in hotel bills and | rail fares.

I didn’t take Dan to see you so that you could scrap. I wanted you to hire him and go away on a vaca- tion.” He said crisply: “There's a dan- erous young man, Ruth.” Steel striking on flint produced the usual spark, “I think that’s a terrible thing to say!

There is the scramble to the local hotel to change into play clothes, the trip to the park and the long game on a diamond usual- ly so rough after having lain fallow for the winter thatthe athletes and their managers are nervous every minute, Then the rush back to the hotel, another change, and off for dinner and the next stop.
