Re Dodger Ball Sch ool
In answer to numerous in
quiries regarding the Brooklyn
Dodgers baseball school at Gee.
E. Waters park September ; 11,
12, 13, 14:
Dodger Scout Tom Downey is
handling all p re-school arrange
ments for President Branch Rick-
a link in the nationwide rebuild
ing of the' Brooklyn chain. - (tee
Harold G. Roettger, : another
Dodger scout; is due in town be
fore long to do publicity and other
advance work on the village camp.
And although we don't real
ly know how the Dodgers will
conduct their school here, .we
Imagine It will be quite like
most any .other. Four or five
ivory-seekers looking over teen
aged kids who are interested in '
finding out if they have the po
tentialities required to make a
ballplayer. They watch you bat
in lnter-camp runes and look
the second time if you should
happen to clout just one long
ball. And If a big- kid can throw
s ball hard, no matter where it
might go, they start calling- him
by his first name and compar
ing hint with the Walter John
sons, Lefty Groves, etc,5 when
they were fledrlings. !
Kids; Mostly 15 to 20
Most camps are open for any
kids from IS to 20 who care to
try but. Usually you bring; ; your
own equipment, excepting -bata
and balls, and engage daily in
monotonously long inter-squad
games in which every youngster
gets a chance at his professed po
sition. .
Also, they check yon on how
fast yon can ran, what kind of
a throwing arm yon have and
what kind of ballplayer you are
hustler or otherwise.
Oft times the schools fail to un
cover a real diamond in the rough
since they operate only a few
days. But on the whole they pro
vide a fine break for young dia
mond aspirants. Should you catch
the teacher's eye by consistently
clouting the ball hard or by show
ing a high hard one from the
pitcher's box, down goes your
name in a little notebook, arid
yc -very baseball move over the
next few years will be- watched
carefully.. You may even show
teacher enough so that hell go
home witlf you and a contract to
talk it over with dad and mom.
Be in Shape' First
Inasmuch as- there was no
high school team or Junior Le
gion nine in the village this
year, we don't know how the
Dodgers will find attendance at
their school here. Bnt if any kid
who's interested la baseball as
a possible future and Is reason
ably old enough to try out wants
to take his first step, the up
coming baseball school Is the
direction in which to leap. ;
And if you don't mind a little
advice, get your arms and legs
Into condition before you try out.
The: scouts don't' give a hang If
you ' should happen to come up
with a sore arm or a charley -horse
during, the school YouH . be just
so much dead' weight to them if
you should.
