To Make 'Em
Says Cuyler
' ATLANTA, April 5-ff)-"Kikr
Cuyler, whose given name (Ha
xen) appears only In 'such things
as last testaments, baseball ! con
. 'tracts and national league records,
says hitting the'dirst Is the key
to successful base stealing.
.-. Cuyler, an accessory before the
,.fact where stolen bases are con
cerned. Is a guy who ought to
know. He admits being successful
ln 40 out of 41 attempts one sea
son, and during his tenure with
the Pittsburgh- Pirates and , Chi
: cago .Cubs, led the league four
-'seasons. M "..' : ''v iv'"
Cuyler, who obtained a release
a Chicago Cub to manage the
southern association.. Atlanta
; Crackers .this year,: dismisses his
own records, commenting j that
"Max Carey (Pittsburgh Pirates)
(was the greatest r base - stealer,
-consistently, of all times. He once
, stole 50 bags in 52 attempts." r.
. .. Getting back to the actual ; art
tof stealing a base, Cuyler, now
in his 25th season of play, says:
flci "Naturally, you've got to have
fa' good lead,' and it helps a lot to
'"study the pitcher's motions, so as
to take advantage of every excess
move he makes before delivery.
But, in the long run, a player who
has mastered the slide is the one
. whoU steal the most bases."
v: Probably' won't develop any new Percy "Windmill" Crofoot (al-
- though you probably noticed by now he himself is still around and
pitching) or famous batteries such as was the . Henry Singer-Lou
Singer combination of a few years ago, but this year's attempt at city
' 1 of tballing should be second to none for sheer fun. When gents like
- "Doc" L. E. Barrick, Les Sparks,
:Red" Cushing (Keith Brown
third sacker in his 19th year of
' softballing) " and . Keith Brown
' himself return to the active list,
as they've 'done for this season,
believe it or not, to say nothing
; of "Dangerous Don" Hendrie,
mirth will be as prevalent as ach
ing muscles and creaking, joints.
V. . Brown wasn't at his first
base post for his outfit in last
''night's openers he must first
get over the results of two spills
from his favorite horse last Sun
day before taking over IB chores.
