Tn this article I am going to try to
give, some advice to boys, young boys
In knickerbocker.-. This is my 10th
year In a big league training camp,
and I think I have an idea by this
time why most of the recruits go back
to the "bushes" each Spring. They can't

The ordinary hopeful who comes into
the camp can (leld pretty well with a
big leaguer, but. in the words of a
Chicago newspaper man who is dead

they can't hit." Muny managers seem to
believe that batters are born not made.
They are not made' when they have
Frown to be old enough to work In the
big leagues, but they can be improved
even at that age. I have seen many a

can Improve a man by telling him, pro
vided he has certain qualifications to
start with."
When "Mike" Donlin was with the
Pittsburg club two or three years ago,
he devoted a lot of his time to coach
ing Carey, the fast outfielder. The
young Pirate outfielder was a speed
hound In tlie ouhfleld. but he could not
connect solidly often enough to give
him much of an average. "Mike"
showed him a lot of things and he has
developed into a dangerous man with
the stick at any stage.
If the interested fan will go back
through the records, he will discover
that "Eddie" Collins did not bat 300

In the league, when he was. Just learn
ing the rope3. Yet friends of his who
knew him while he was in preparatory
school and college tell me that he was
constantly practicing batting, cultivat
ing that one branch.
Yon nK Batters Frightened.
Perhaps there are fewer men adept at
bating than at any other part of the
game because it requires more nerve to
Hand up against speed and not "put
one foot in the water pail" than it does
to run bases or field. And big league
pitchers, the majority of them. In spite
of all you. may hear to the contrary,
try to scare the young batter when he
first comes up to the plate. Go through
the veteran big leaguers of the game,
and ask them, ar.d nearly every one
will tell you that he was put through
the Are. I know that "Johnny" Evers
was hit by pitched bulls twice in the
first game in which he ever wore the
big league "spangles."
Now let us go back a little and
see why butting appears to be such a
scarce commodity in ball players.
When 1 whs a kid. T used to spend all
my time shying stones at squirrels and
rabbits aTid other animals in the woods,
find I found 1 could curve stones. Next,
T began to play catch and constantly I
wa. tossing a baseball back and forth
with any other kid 1 could find who
would stick with me. The result was
J developed my arm but not my hit
ting. I became a pitcher.
youngsters Rarely Bat.
Now look over the kids in any
neighborhood, and you will find them
playing catch in odd moments, but sel
dom batting. There are reasons for
this. Batting practice Is hard to take
In a confined neighborhood, for it is
difficult to control tne ball and neigh
bors generally object to having their
windows broken. Therefore, the ordi-.
nary boy does not get as much batting
practice as he does fielding and catch
ing. Then, too. only one boy can hit
t a time, and it takes several fielders
to chase the ball when he wallops It.
Here is the advice I want to give to
young boys who would like to become
good ball players, whether they Intend
lo make baseball their profession or
not. Get Just as much batting prac
tice as possible. You will have plenty
f fielding work In odd minutes, but
make it a point to walk or Jog to some
lot where it is safe to swing a bat and
then try hitting the ball. Fielding is
easy to learn. It is not a bad idea to
pick out a side of a barn with no win
dows or other perishable material in it
snd let some other boy pitch to you.
You cm slam the ball up against the
wall, and two boys can practice hitting
y themselves in that. way. One can
pitch and the other bat. Time after
time. I have seen slow fielders held in
the big league because they could hit. I
Star fielders are turned back in droves
Spring after Spring because they can't
hit- A man who can "bust them" is
always sure of a job tecause he can
be taught to field.
Best Hitters Begin Young.
Take the heavy hitters of the game
and you will. find that most of them
were partial to the batting end when
they were youngsters, as, for example,
Tddle" Collins. Ty Cobb has told me
that he spent most oL his youthful
clays trying to "but "em."
"T always liked that end of the game
when 1 was a kid." said Ty. "It felt
so good to hit them. The other boys
In the bunch -wanted to field, so I had
my chance to practice. I believe it
helped to make me able to hit a little."
Of course, a near-sighted boy or a
lame boy or a one-armed boy cannot
become a hitter, no matter how, much
he tries. But the average American
hoy can go a long ways toward making
himself a batter by working on that
end of the game. It is because of the
popularity of pitch and catch that most
hoys think they are pitchers when they
start and try to break In at this posi
tion. Make yourself a hitter, and you
ire pretty sure of a place on the school
team, thu college team and the big
league outfit if you want to break into
professional baseball. Competition Is
not so keen. Hard work will develop
almost any quality if the hoy has the
fundamentals, as most have. Even
brains are not developed without hard
work. Therefore. I advise boys to
work tip the batting end of the game.
T have seen too much in the Spring
camp at Marlln here this year not to
know how scarce good batters are.
Hitting is the frame work of baseball,
of a strong club.

BY ROUGH DIAMOND
"Heine" Loot Is Shifted From
Left Field to Second Sack
as Work Proceeds.
SCHEDULE IS , ARRANGED
Hutt or Sieberts May Go to Outfield.
Culver and 'VViiliiiis Sbow Good
Form on Mound Despite In
jured Arm by One.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, March 20. (Special.) De
spite the fact that unsettled weather
has kept the grass on the Oregon Ag
ricultural College baseball diamond
slippery much of the week, and that
the rough condition of the infield has
given Coach Williams' players an alibi
for every error made, practice has
been going on industriously among
Aaeie ball chasers and the Beaver team
is fast working itself into shape for
service when the big games come.
Games have been played each afternoon
that weather permitted the players to
get on the field.
The shifting of "Heine" Loof from
left field to second base is significant.
although he is likely to find himself
back in the frontier regions aimosi
any day. Loof has worked three days
at the keystone position and looks
good there.
Shifting In Considered.
He is fast though somewhat awk
ward, and tries for everything, no mat
ter how hot and how far away from
him- the ball may be. This good per
formance may mean, a change, the
"Dutchman" taking over the infield
berth, and Hutt or Sieberts going to
the outfield.
Both these men are at home there
and have been 'playing good ball there,
while Loof has been showing his abil
ity at second. "Sim" Smith, short
stop and second baseman, is unable to
play this year owing to a heavy 0l
lege course. Goble at first and Fryor
at third appear like fixtures. Whether
or not Morgan will be able to hold down
his shortstop berth against Hutt and
Seiberts is not certain.
Culver and Williams Show Form.
Culver and Williams, pitchers, have
bees, taking regular turns on the
mound, and each is in good form. Cul
ver this year is confining his efforts
.to an underhand delivery, and his In
jured arm is not bothering him as yet.
His underslung shoots have been effect
ive against his compatriots. Phelps,
an Eastern Oregon lad, is most promis
ing pitcher among the new men, and
may work into shape, which will make
him of value "to Coach Williams. He
is a little chap, but according to the
players who have faced him, has quite
a little stuff on the ball ana puts mem
over fast.
Weller and Stipple continue to look
liko the varsity catching staff, although
Jack Hayes, the tubby backstop who
has been favorably known in Portland
circles for some years, is showing up
well. Weller has been bothered this
week with an injured finger, the result
of a laboratory experiment involving
glass tubing..
Wilson Stands Chance to Win.
The outfield Is the place where the.
new men and scrubs rmist find their
way into conference ball this year. Wil
son( the Portland Academy product,
who for two years has valiantly
warmed fhe benches and shagged wild
fouls and done other disagreeable
things, this year stands an excellent
chance of steady work. He is batting
fairly satisfactorily and is a steady
fielder. He is fast on the bases, and
the other day stole home on Ben Culver
while the latter was tenderly winding
up his salary wing. "Blossom" Seeley
is another man who was on, the scrub
nine last year who this year looks like
a varsity man. Seeley is an infielder,
but after sizing up the opportunities
for advancement has changed his alle
giance for the more remote meadows.
"Dutch" Hayes is also a candidate for
the outfield, and should give his rivals
a run for the place.
Athletic Board to Take Action.
The new athletic field is not yet in
shape for a baseball diamond, and the
college athletic department hesitates to
invest in a temporary field. The pres
ent diamond is poorly drained, and has
a short right field that means a long
fly in that direction is good for a
homer. The athletic board will con
sider this situation at its next meet
ing. Assistant Manager May is attempting
to arrange a barnstorming trip for the
Aggies through the Inland Empire for
the week of April 12-17. Games have
been scheduled with Washington State
College, and if Gonzaga, Idaho, and
Whitman are agreeable, the Beavers
will migrate northward.
The Aggie schedule in addition to
these games is as follows: April 3,
Mount Angel at Corvallis; April 10,
Willamette at Corvallis, April 23 and
24, Washington at Seattle; April 30
and May 1, Oregon at Corvallis; May 7
and 8, Washington State College al
Corvallis; May 14 and 15, Washington
University at Corvallis; May 19, Wil
lamette at Salem; Hay 21 and E2, Ore
gon at Eugene.
200 FAAS ATTEND BANQUET
Benjamin Ide Wheeler Tells of Early
Ball Experiences.
PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Fres
no, Cal., Marcli 20. (Special.) More
than 200 baseball fans attended the
luncheon given in honor of the Port
land Pacific Coast League club and the
first division of the Chicago American
Leaguelclub here recently. The dinner
was served in the banquet hall of the
Fresno Commercial Club and appro
priate decorations and ceremonies ac
companied the luncheon.
Owing to tlie -late arrival of the Sox
in Fresno, it was necessary to post
pone the contemplated automobile tour
through' the rasin district. Only a few
machines loaded with members of the
Portland club took the excursion trip.
They were highly satisfied with their
trip throifgh the various packing
houses and wineries.
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of
the University of California, attended
the- baseball luncheon and was the
speaker. A programme of speeches had
been arranged, but owing to the late
ness of the hour when the meal was
completed only one address was made.
Decorations consisted of pictures of
famous ball players and a huge base
ball suspended from the .ceiling Just
about the middle of the long table.
Waiters were dressed in. baseball uni
forms. Interesting side lights on early base
ball and the part he played in it. were
given by Dr. Wheeler, who was a play
er in hi younger days, being one of
the first men to take an active part In
the organization and promotion of the
game.
"I was one of the first men to start
baseball in Tork County, Maine." said
Dr. Wheeler. "We decided to play ball

governing the game were much dif
ferent then than they are at present.
This was in the Spring of 1S67, two
years after the close of the Civil War.
"In 1859 baseball was played in
Elizabeth and Brooklyn, N. Y. This
did not last long, as the war prevented
an organized attempt to carry on sport.
After the war closed, the game was
started up again and interest gradu
ally spread to our county.
"One day we sent a man to Portland,
Me., 20 miles away, to purchase sup
plies for a baseball team. Ha got a
bat for 25 cents, a ball for $1 and a
book of rules for 10 cents. The bat
was about the size and shape of an in-
door baseball bat of today. The ball
was fully as hard as those of today but
would not travel so tar. The rules
were contained in a yellow-backed,
book, which looked like somo dime
novels.
"We went out on the prairie, meas
ured off the distances for u field given
in the book. There was only one man
in the crowd that had ever seen a base
ball game and he had only witnessed
one contest. When we had n"1"0;
marking off the diamond we munu
we had no bases. We, therefore, took
dried cow flaps and used them for
ba"One of the difficult features of the
whole game was to "keep the
from plugging' the runner. Hitting
the runner with the bull Is known as
plugging. This practice. Is followed in
rounders and a large number of our
young men had played this game.
"We were so ignorant about the rules
of the game that It was necessary for
one player to read the rules and for
the rest of us to play the game accord
ing to the book. It was not long be
fore we learned considerable about
baseball and became proficient In the
art. In later years I participated In a
number of spirited matches.
"In the old game we had no gloves
and the pitcher stood about 15 feet
closer to the plate than now. At this
time, the pitcher was forced to throw
a ball with his arm stiff in order that
he might not get too much speed on it.
"In 1S75 I was a member of Brown
University and it was while here that
1 got mv first scientific experience.
During my college career I met the
Wright brothers, inventors of the aero,
plane. I also met A. G. Spalding, who
played on the same college ball club
with me."
E. A. Williams, a local attorney,
acted as toastmaster and introduced the
various players to the fans. Walter
McCredie, manager of the Beavers, and
Jim Scott, manager of the White Sox,
occupied places of honor at the head
of the table. -
Following the dinner, the ball players
were presented with sample boxes or
raisins and offers made to send boxes
East. Several players left the addresses
of friends and a sample of the Fresno
fruit was immediately forwarded to
them. '
