The real tragedy of baseball Is that youngsters, fresh from the bushes, rarely get a real chance to display their prowess. . What better illustration is there of that fact that was contained in a news item ju3t before the start of the train

ing camp season, which ran along;

these lines: "John McGraw, of the Giants. today turned back 12 youngsters . who" were picked up by the Giant scouts at the close of the 1920 season." Those kids looked good to the vet

eran scouts; the Giant owners paid;

out money for those boys.

kids

happy

McGraw, without ever seeing one of

them in action, turned them back. How does McGraw-or the other managers who do exactly what McGraw did know that several of those youngsters wouldn't be successors to Cobb, Speaker, Alexander, Johnson or Schalk? McGraw doesn't know! He just guesses that those kids, coming from the way-down minors, aren't as developed as those from the faster circuits. So he let those kids loose for "more seasoning" although it's possible that they are greater players right now than many of the big leaguers. If the Cardinals hadn't been short of infielders a few years ago, Rogers Hornsby never would have had his chance. If Connie Mack hadn't been building up a new club in 1906. he

might not have bothered with' Eddie Collins who came from the college

And if

the Senators had been blessed with a lot of pitchers they wouldn't have gtv-

sarily mean that the other 29 lacked ability. For they mast have had ability to enable them to star in the bushes and attract the attention of a big league scout. It really means that most of these 29 never got a real chance. The manager nt too busy to try them out; to help them by a little advice to cure the little faults that may' have marred absolute greatness.

The immortal Teddy would have been dee-lighted, simply dee-lihted. with the world's champion Indians' baseball team. Babies fairly abound. Twelve members of the club account for a total of 21 bright-eyed laughing oungsters. Steve O'Neill and Joe Wood are the champion daddies of the champions. Steve has four girls. Joe has three boys and one girl. Singularly enough, both axe fathers of twins. Steve's twins are girls and seven months old. Joe has a boy and a girl who are twins. They are now nineteen months old. Four members of the Indians are fathc rs of two children, Bagby, Coveleskie, Johnston and Burns form this quartet. Here is a complete list of fathers on the Indians' roster: O'Neill, four girls. Wood, three boys and one girl. Basby, boy and girl.

Coveleekie, two bore. Burns.. iwo girls, j Johnston, boy and girl. . Thomas, boy. Caldwell, girl. " Clark, girl. . v. Wamby, girl. ' 1 ; Graney, boy. " ' Jamieeon, girl. Thus it will be seen the girls predominate .the count in this respect being thirteen against nine of the inferior sex. ; For a team that is piloted by an illustrious bachelor the champions unquestionably hold all records in the baby league. . Quite naturally, babies form a subject for much interesting conversation in the- training camp. Particularly when the daddies get together.
