BASEBALL
SPOTLIGHT
By “Nosey”
Notice Wednesday night at the
games that somebody had drawn
a pencil line around home plate
so you could tell w’here it was.
Well, even that’s a good beginn
ing. Heard the suggestion they
ought to have a thin rubber mat
cemented to the floor for the
plate. I don’t believe this would
be as satisfactory as painting the
plate black each game, if neces.
sary. There’s a danger that some
player’s rubber-soled shoe might
stick to a rubber plate, result—
twisted ankle or broken leg.
Sure get a kick out of the offlc.
ious attitudes of some of the
captains. Seems they lose sight
of the real spirit of the games—
when they start fighting and ball
ing out their own players. It’s
pretty noticeable when a man
loses his temper.
There have been some sugges
tions and indications that a spec.

Baseball Teams. That’d be a
darn good idea. Whoever would
be the writer I don't know, but
I would like to see such a col

have fun handing out the floral
remarks of sagacity.
I’ll bet there’ll be some inten.

for next Wednesday’s games, es
pecially after the exhibition of
1 base.running which most teams
showed at the last games. It’s
another sure thing that a lot of
hard batting practice will be in
dulged in before the next games.
It’s about time some of the boys
developed batting eyes, with the

Nosey and whether he overheard
any personal remarks. Don’t be
afraid. Speak right up. You’ll
always get quoted right if you do.
While some of the remarks I
heard the other evening were a
trifle off color, others were right
in line with the spirit of the
games. A little feminine touch
of ribald humor can make a per
son pretty exasperated.
I’m having a lot of trouble goin’
thru my fan mail. I just can’t
decide which letters to use in the
column—they’re all so mean and
nasty. One letter said “If you
don’t lay off slamming me in that
wise.cracking column of yours.,
I’m going to lay for you until I
find out who’s writing all that1
stuff.” Did I feel bad when I
saw that. I’ve already got a lot;
of trouble and responsibilities
resting on my shoulders—and my
conscience is burdened with plen

there’s always a silver lining
somewhere—I say my prayers
