McGraw must have some reason for sticking at a grind that must be| tiresome most of the time. He must have some ambition beyond the mere making of dollars. He must be inspired by some great desire and from the change in his policies, {t may be that “Mac” wants to have the name of McGraw per- Petuated for all time and have him- self recorded as the greatest of all baseball managers. McGraw used to buy, but he ts building now. He used to be one with the attitude that today Is the day and let tomorrow take care of Itself. Now he ix working both ends With just a few exceptions, great Giant ball club which McGraw will start as a favorite in the 1923 Pennant race came “ready-to-wear” off the market. It stands a great ball club this year and it ts not at the cracking point, altho the veterans outnumber the youngsters in the regular lineup. McGraw apparently is working on | the theory that his Infield, the great combination that made the Yanks look sick In the last world’s sertes, hasn't long to go and he !s grooming another combination to step up when Groh, Bancroft and Kelly have to step down. No other ball club has in the mak- ings an infield to compare with Mc- Phee, Princeton, ‘third baseman; Jackson, Little Rock, shortstop: Fred Maguire, Holy Cross, second base- man, and Jimmy O'Connell, 8t. the} Dinyers was pas «| and that {n the} exes & tight string on the purse. | There may be something behind | that, too.

Arid, believe me, rarely dig a pitcher disagree with Bresna- han‘s judgment. I seriously doubt if there was ever ® greater battery than Mathewson and Bresnahan, a master pitcher and & Wonder catcher. During the last world series I had a chat with Matty. One of the things we discussed was catchers. I well recall Matty saying: “Bresahan ‘tainly was a won- der, The wise pitcher always did what he said. I don't believe I disa- greed with him over a half dozen times as what was the best style de- livery to use on some sttong batter in # pinch. “Keven better do I recall the fact that every time 1 shook him off the batsman invariably came thru with a base hit, breaking up the old ball Karn Some tribute from Matty. it OF Well, after Roger and 1 had ex- changed greetirigs, 1 asked him o question that will settle for all time ® ghent many arguments, Bresna- han, you know, \s the catcher who brought the shin guard Into the game as an additional protection to the entcher, , During the winter I have received a half dozen inquiries ad to wry Bresnahan sprang the shin guard tn- Novation on the national pastime, Of Inte years modern entehers have been using the shin guard as @ means of making it Impoasible for @ runner to slide Into the home plate, The catcher simply blocks off tho | | plate by so squatting on the ground |that the base runner must come into the heavy pads with his spikes. There is absolutely no danger in such a procedure on the part of the catcher. On the other hand, aside from blocking the runner off, it often results in the spikes being so caught in the pads that the runner suffers & severe wrench to one or both legs. | “Why did you bring the shin guard into baseball?” 1 put the ques tion in just that to Bresnahan, PROTECTION AGAINST FOUL TIPS “The only thought I had in using the shin guard was to protect my knee and shins from injury against foul tips. “You know what a terrible thing it 1s to stop a foul tip with the bare knee, Bill?” Having stopped a num- ber of them with knee and shina be- fore Bresahan brought the shin| | guard {nto play, 1 winced with pain| at the very thought “I never gave a thought to the | blocking of base runners,” continued Roger. “That stunt 1s practiced | much more by the modern catchers, | Ponsthly some of the catchers have | overdone the value of the shin gunrd | jin that respect. If so, 1 am sorry, | because the original reason for tho | shin guard was merely a protection for foul tips. “IT had to undergo a lot of ridicule |to put the ehin guard over.

HAN SCORES MODERN BALL From the shin guard the conversa- tion shifted to the lively and the home-run epidemic. Bresnahan 1s a rabid opponent to the lively ball and the cheap home run, “The ively ball 1s going to ultl- mately ruin the game if It 1s contin- ued,” says Bresahan, “It has al- the Washington club, was in charge of Cincinnati. “Griffith's team had a chance to win the pennant when they invaded St. Louis late in the fall of a series of five games, My jteam had been going badly, and no | doubt Griff figured on winning four | out of five, if not the entire series, “When we went to bat for the |last half of the ninth inning of the first game, the score was 9 to 1 against us, We appeared hopelensly | beaten, Hoblitzell, playing first base jfor the Reds, was in rather poor shape, and he was taken out of the game and Fred Beck substituted, ball great of the game.

Tho success of Mays’ pecullar under- hand delivery depends on how low he 1s able to get with tho ball. A waist- line that was four or five inches too big last summer seriously handi- capped Maya in starting the ball low. Mays has two distinct deliveries An undorhand curve thrown with fair speed that rises and breaks out as it nears the batter, His faust bau, delivered in much the same way, but | with greater speed, breaks down much like a spitball, * Aw a result, the batsman was con- stantly at sea as to what to expoct. Early last season it was apparent that Mays’ fast ball was missing, That enabled the batters to set for tho underhand curve, and hit Mays to advantage, Mays promises to bo faster than ever this year, If no, he will be bud news to batting averagos, Ed Fy EY EY Ey TLIEY WILL PLAY BALTIMORE, Md.
