Ball Players ' Os Today Are Much Different (By OSCAR FRALEY) United,Pres« SpbrtswHter New York. March 5 — (UP) — Baseball as it 6nce was played today had become a nostalgic castoff in a class with high button shoes, kerosene V j lamps and red flannel underwear. Healthy fellows who. whnted to, and could, play baseball apparently are as outmoded as homemade bread. Gone are the guys who had only to look at a load of barrel* to hit 1,000 for the day. The ball player of this era, according to news from the training camps, isn't worth bench room unless he requires a psychiatrist, an oculist and an osteopath. Surgery

The Pbilljes this spring are pioneering an Electrical gadget designed to test the power In a runner’s legs. Manager Eddie Sawyer must know, particularly after last season's fokiui), just how slowly his fellows hoof it as far as third base. From there to home plate, however, is virgin territory. But I’ll still :ake a Bate Herman over Ohms and volts vben you need a hit in the nin’h Inning. . Another development of recent years has been the pitching rhaChine used far batting practice. The pitchers, of course, have had only (iw month* real so you can't very well expect them to throw a ball 60 feet to the plate. Not in these machine age days, anyhow. But it suggests an all-mechanical j future for the national p&sstime. | Electric eye umpires have been pro- ! posed and iwe do have automatic Official scorers, who give the breaks to the honje team. Another ultimate offsbc|>t will be long-playing Acords as replacements for suqh managers as Chuck Dressen atjd Leo Durochjer.

The one we’ve got hasn’t an ache or pain to his name and can hit, rpn and field- 1 -so he’ll never make a major leaguer.
