Eddie Lovejoy Is the Only Baseball Fan Who Has Never Seen a Game Played
, GOOO0OGOOO OO O O O O O O
But He Is a Regular Rooter and Well Acquainted With All of the Players
By Joe Bean.
(Physical Director Marist College.)
I WILL now make a few suggestions
and corrections on fielding as I
have seen it in the Prep League.
A fault that is most common among
infielders is the taking of grounders
hit at them on the side instead of be
ing In front of them. The> conse
quence is that hard hit balls go
throfigh their hands,’ as they have no
weight behind it to offset the force
with which the ball is hit, and errors
are frequently made.
Balls that are hit on either side of
the infielder are also played in a pecu
liar way and a number of them go
for hits that should be fielded. When
a ball is hit on the side, the player
generally goes after it in a diagonal
line forward, right or left, instead of
cutting across in front of it. This is
a very common fault in the Prep
League.. On slow hit balls players
must come in on them and play them
from where they get them, and this
is an art that few Prep Leaguers have
mastered. There are a few things
that it is well to mention here.
Try to play every ball in front of
you. ,
Play th6 ball with your hands.
Play the ball, don’t let it play you.
Play It on the high bound or pick
up. Don’t play it on the long bound,
cr, as they say in professional ball, in
between bounds.
A few words to the outfielders.
Play behind the ball; play it in a
position to throw. When you catch a
fly berll, get it into the infield; don';
hold'it to see what it is made out of—
do that before the game start^—it will,
save time. •
Atlanta Has Real Team.
The whole city is on its toes. At
last, after several years, It looks like
we have a ball team. Well, there Is
one thing that goes in every business,
and that is a good start. The Atlanta
Baseball Association did that last fall
when they signed Bill Smith. All
winter we have had baseball three
times a day. We have seen the club
in action and have won the opening
trophy. During my professional ca
reer I have partaken in many open
ing games, but I doubt if 1 have ever
seen a more enthusiastic one than
that of last Monday. Those that were
there were there because they were
for Atlanta, and they showed it, and
that is the way to be. Home team
first* last and always. Myself, I am
not what you might call a fan. When
I go to a game now I find great pleas
ure in sizing up the teams individual
ly and collectively, watching their
style of play under the different con
ditions, and the style that Atlanta
adopted on Mondoy is the one that
will win in the long run.
The team impressed me as being a
very steady one, especially in pinches
and of having a hitting power that
will be hard to overcome. The catch
ing department looks very good. The
pitchers are lucky to have such a fine
lot of catchers to pitch to. There is
no doubt but that a pitcher will go
bad now' and then. They are almost
bound to. Conditions may be against
him, things may break wrong, and you
know* that the poor pitcher gets more
than his share of blame when the
team loses. Nevertheless, I think the
team is well supplied with good
pitchers.
Infield Looks Good.
The infield looks fine. Some folks
have said, don’t you think we are
weak at shortstop, and I said no, I
don’t, and the reason most people
have formed this opinion is that the
man playing is so much smaller than
the other three men that it strikes
them in that light.
The outfielder looks fine all around,
three good fielders, hitters and base-
runners. as all outfielders should be.
They will surely «be heard from this
season.
So with this stone wall infield and
hard-hitting outfield Smith has a fine
combination. Though the season is
young and we are all pulling for the
Crackers, don’t forget the old arch
enemy of well-organized teams, mis
fortune; still with a fair run of luck
or with an even break I can’t see how
Atlanta can finish far from the top.
Another topic that is being dis
cussed by the baseball loving people
all over the country is when will Tv
Cobb report. We are continually read
ing comments in the papers concern
ing Ty and the Detroit Club. One is
that the other clubs in th e American
League will stand by the Detroit Club
in their stand against Cobb. Well, It’s
a good stand for the other magnates
to take, for with Cobb in the game
some of these close ones that Detroit
is now losing may have been turned
to wins for Detroit and defeats for
them. When this controversy is final
ly settled and it becomes known tfcat
Ty Cobb will play, the increased re
ceipts for a few days will just about
pay Ty’s salary for the season, and
a few more victories will be chalked
up for Detroit.

F ELLOW READERS and other
bugs, we have with us this
morning the original and only
first degree sport-page fan, the only
man in civilization and a league town
who knows all ihe players, reads ail
the dope, dreams batting averages
and neveT saw a ball game in his
life. We take pleasure in introduc
ing—
Mr. Eddie Lovejoy.
Now that the applause is more or
less subsided, Mr. Lovejoy will ad
dress you, as follows:
“It is true, devourers of The Sun
day American sport page and other
dope, that I revel in baseball and
had rather read a box score than an
O. Henry short story. It is true that
Billy Smith and Lous Castro call me
‘Eddie, old chap’ and come to me to
settle their arguments as to whether
or not Newt Fisher struck out in
the first inning of the eleventh game
in 1901. And it is also true that I
never saw a ball game. No, never
in my whole life. And 111 tell you
the reason.
I’m afraid to see one. That’s
straight. I’m such a bug over base
ball that I’m afraid if I ever went
out to Ponce DeLeon and saw one
of my chums hammer a liner past
second it would be good night nurse!
I’d never return to work again."
M S
plained to those who .don’t get
around much, is now enjoying the
gay and festive life of a night clerk
at the Aragon, hours 11 p. m. until
the day clerk wakes up in the morn
ing, gets his breakfast and takes a
notion i.0 start.
For a decade or so in the past Mr.
Lovejoy has been cigar dispenser at
various hotels, including the Pied
mont, the Kiwball and the Aragon,
having only recently abandoned the
Panatellas, the Brevas and the Colo
rado Maduros for the superior at
tractions of the key rack, the wapper-
jawed pen which won’t write and the
opportunity to yell “Front! Ice water
in Room 456.”
And it has been due to his long
service in Atlanta hay and feed em
poriums that his acquaintance among
ball players has waxed and thriven
so hugely that he Is as widely known
as an umpire, and vastly more popu
lar.
Eddie was occupying a chair in
front of the Aragon waiting for time
to assume his arduous labors, and
chatting about baseball to Whitev Al-
perman and Joe Agler about base-
hits, grounders and other items of
the daily baseball menu when sonte-
“What was the longest hit you ever
saw, Eddie?” queried this fan.
Eddie spoke up,- right off the bat,
and answered him, his reply escap
ing the writer and being of Bmall im
portance any way, for there have been
bunches of longer drives. But Billy
Smith butted in and sprung the real
story—the one responsible for using
up this space.
“Can it, Eddie. You never saw a
ball game in your life, and you know
it,” quoth Mr. Smith. “Now own
up.”
And Eddie did. And he went fur
ther and explained the why and the
wherefore
“W
HEN I was a kid I used to watch
around the vacant lots, playing town
ball and the various brands of cat,”
he said. “But that was before league
ball was discovered this side of Balti
more. And when George Stallings
and his outfit began to put over the
organized article in the South I was
too busy working to bother about
such trifles. I was just young enough
to take life seriously.
“Then, when the players began
stopping at the hotels where\ I was
passing out smokables I couldn’t help
but absorb spme of the dope. It was
maybe a year before I knew a home
run was anything but a cigarette,
but after a. while I began to get an
education.
“The baseball chaps used to han&
over my counter, pass over their coin
bite the end off the thick black cigar
always mentioned in contemporary
literature—I wonder why neither hero
nor villian ever prefers a mild smoke
—and began to make a comment on
the game.
"What did you think of that double
I rapped out in the third, Eddie?” one
of them would ask, all puffed up and
trying not to show it.
“ ‘What’s a double?’ I’d ask, like a
new boy in school. Then the player
would look peeved, cross over and
ask the clerk what he thought of the
hit and go across the street next day
for his cigars and flattery. I saw
it was up to me to smoke up, so I
began wading through the sport
pages after the rush was over and
It didn’t take me long to learn the
game. I’m some oa.ll player now—
with a pencil and paper.
“I
WAS working the day shift in
those seasons and couldn't dream
of seeing a ball game unless they
started playing by electric light. But
I kept on inhaling the dope and talk
ing to the players and pretty soon
I’d come across with a stall if I
thought It would get by, or just mur-
mer casually: ’I couldn’t get out to
the game to-day. They tell me It was
a pippin.' And nobody was wise that
I’d never heard the umpire yell ‘Play
Ball’ or the erack-of bat across the
horsehide.
“But that was easy. There’s lots
of parlor travelers sitting around the
open fire describing Venice and Dark
est Africa who never used up a mile
age book since the day the doctor said
‘It’s a boy.’ It wasn't any trouble to
get away with it.
“I began to make some good friends
among the players, too. I reckon the
best friends I’ve got are Bill Smith
and Otto Jordan and one Mr. Mathew,
son of New York, I know
fellows on every team in the South,
and a lot of them who came and
climbed and passed out.
Why last Christmas I got fourteen
postcards and letters from old ball
players who used to loaf around my
stand. Some of them are has-beens
and some have quit the game and
some are way up in the majors, and
I take it as an extravagant compli
ment that they remembered me, for
baseball players are not strong on
the correspondence game.
‘‘Lord, I’ve seen them come and go.
I’ve seen the big teams travel down
for training, with a bunch of sport
waiters and a dozen recruits who
promised to chase Wagner and Cobb
into the bushes. I’ve read the junk
about these second incarcnations cf
Youngs and Mathewsons until I was
ready to collect their autographs, and
then I’ve seen those same coming
miracles pack their grips and go back
to Sandy Springs and Truckers Cross
Roads in time for the late plowing.
I’ve seen them go up and come down,
and take the bunch both ways from
the middle I’ve liked most of them.
They’re a mighty clever bunch, these
ball players. Perfectly charming fel
lows, lots of them.
• • •
gTYI'T with all that I’ve never
seen a game. Sometimes when
I was off duty with a pass In my
pocket and the sun was shining and
some Special chum booked to pitch
I’ve been tempted* to hit the trolley
for Ponce DeLeon. But every time
I’d get wise to myself and say:
“ ‘Eddie, old chap, better stick to
the pink extras and keep away from
the hard seats If ever you get nutty
over baseball the boss will have to
chain you to the stand. And so I've
never gone to the park.
"Sure, I can ’see’ the game. 1 can
watch the returns come in and hear
a fellow' say \V’elchonce hits to left
field. Out sliding to second,' and 1
♦
can see that play as well as though
I had a first row' seat just back of
the catcher, Sure, I know the game.
“Yes, maybe I’ll go out some day.
When some crazy phllathropist comes
along and leaves me a million, or
when I get old and retire on my in
come and never have to work any
more Pm going to lease a box by the
year and rent a house right across
from the ball park.
“If I get baseball in my belfry so
►bad I’m no more use, why it won’t
matter then. But as long as Eddie
holds down a regular Job he’ll take
his baseball through the extras.”

Gardner, Great Harvard Quarter
back, Tells of Many Vital Points
Connected With the Post.
By Harry H. Gardner.
Quarterback of Harvard football
team.
I N general, a quarterback’s busi
ness Is to make his team score.
In most of the large games of
the last few* years, and particularly
In the Harvard games of this year,
this has come down to the utilization
of the kicking game to the best ad
vantage—that Is, the more experienc
ed teams saw that they were unable
to rush the ball any considerable dis
tance for a score, and therefore
“fenced” for an opening, and then
played for a score with the best card
they possessed.
Let us play a few minutes theoreti
cally on the Harvard team against a
strong opponent We will consider
that there is no advantage In wind or
sun to either side and that there is
plenty of time.
Harvard receives the kick-off and
runs It to the 20-yard line, out of po
sition to kick. By “out of position to
kick” l mean that the team la so near
the side lines that the kick might slip
off the punter’s foot and go out of
bounds for a small gain, giving the
ball to the other side In a good posi
tion to score, or else the ball might
go diagonally across the field and
give an opportunity to the catcher to
make a sweeping run-back and put
his team In a position dangerous to
us.
How Game Is Fgured Out.
Position may be gained by making
a play “outside” which will bring the
ball In fifteen yards, or else running
a wide play to bring the ball to the
center of the field. We then kick,
and after one or two plays, the op
ponents return the kick.
If we aro in a good position, we
kick again, and after one or two such
exchange*, If we find that w r e are
gaining ground, we know that our
time Is well spent.
By this method, wne now have pos
session of the ball on our forty-five-
yard line. We may now start some
other method of getting the ball In a
position to score, since, If we make a
mistake such a penalty or fumble
would give the ball to the opponents
In an extremely dangerous position.
Such method would include a
sweeping end run or some trick
which either gives a substantial gain
or nothing, or we might try our
strongest regular attack to “try
out” the opponents
If these methods fail to give the
required gain, that is. put us In a
position to score, the kicking game
la called into use, in hope the op
ponents may give us the ball near
their goal line by a fumble.

Only a Member of Evers
Fami ly Co u IdMa be Catch
T HAT Johnny Evers is real Irish
can’t be doubted after a con
versation he had with Billy Ham
ilton, the famous baseball scout,
while the latter was in Tampa.
“There’s a fellow over In Mar
lin,” Hamilton told Johnny, “who
jumped from second base to third
the other day and caught a liner
and made a terrible play.”
“What are you giving me?” re
plied Johnny. “That’s impossible.”
“Well, it was your brother Joe,**
observed Billy.
"Oh, well, of course,” observed
Johnny, “he might have done it.”
We shall say that by some break
in the game we have the ball on the
opponents’ 35-ya-d line. Our strong
est running attack is called into play
and used until ’.t Is obvious the re
quired distance cannot be mode.
“Fencing” For a Break.
The only possible chance of scor
ing lies in running to a good posi
tion and making a drop-kick, or em
ploying seme trick such as the for
ward pass.
This is “fencing” for a break and
making the most of the opportunity
It offers. of course, if the opening
does not offer itself by “standard’’
methods, some other form of attack
must be used, such os surprising the
opponents by a forward pass in an
unusual part of tbe field.
This i§s the general style of plaa.
In a real game, the quarterback
must have a thousand and one things
at his finger tips. Rome of these
things—I name them ns they coma to
mind—are wind, sun, condition of the
ground, the ability of every player,
what formation is best at particular
instances, the time left to play, antic
ipating the thought of the opponam.
whether to hit a lineman with a pUw
on one side or the other, whether to
try a close or wide play, whether to
gamble or play safe, or whether to
play fake kicks to stop opponent*
from hunying a kicker.
These are only a few of the ttttngr*
to be remembered, and to forget <Wi»*
for an instant may mean disaster.
Position of the Quarterback.
Picture yourself in tbe quarter
back's position, tcore 3 to 0 agatom
you, fourth down, one and a hair
yards to go, only a fair position for s
drop ki-'-k, and only two minutes to
play, and you have a situation similar
to one a quarterback has to meet and
decide many, many times.
