pened to the glorious tional pastime. "For one thing," said Arnold (Jigger) Statz, "too many pitchers constantly get themselves into three's and-two situations, resulting in slow delivery, bat- ters stepping out of the box, or a lot of foul-offs as they protect the plate. "Good pitchers rarely find themselves serving up three balls to anyone but the toughest hitters." Good Titchers Rare "What good pitchers?" asked Harry (Truck) Hannah, the former catcher who earned the reputation "of being one of the best bench jockeys in the game and also one of the all time greats when it came to stealing signals. "Where are there any good pitchers today?" asked Hannah with typical sarcasm. "Now take Drys dale.

He's a dandy. He can if go maybe three innings. "The whole thing with I baseball today is that too ball players don't I-work at their profession. They're not in condition. How many pitchers can go the distance any more?" The discussion turned to bonuses, endorsements and outside interests.

Outside Slide Best "I still say the best way to get past a catcher is to slide outside him and then come around with your hand to touch the plate," said Hannah. "If the catcher can reach you to put the ball on you, you're out anyway." Not many players ever tried to run over Hannah, who was not called Truck by accident. "Cobb liked to run over people.

Ttwmsson, Al ISTABUSHEO 14 rw ero. rran oranoon. Vstydahar, who coached the Angeles Rams to the world championship in 1951, thinks the Rams "got one helluva quarterback" when they obtained Zeke Bratkowski from the Chicago Bears in exchange for Bill Wade. "Bratkowski never realized his full potential with the Bears, for reasons I won't go into," Sty-. dahar said Sunday, "but he's a great passer and I think he'll be a real sen-.

sation if the Rams decide to keep him." Wade Unhapy1 Stydahar, a former all- pro tackle for the Bears, who now owns a corrugated paper-box company in Chicago, says George Halas erred in keeping quarterback Ed Brown instead of Bratkowski. I think Wade will help the Bears," Jumbo Joe said. "It's no secret that Bill wa3 very unhappy in Los Angeles. Just the other dav in a radio interview Gill said his trade to the Bears was the finest thing that ever happened to him." It was Stydahar who selected Wade as the Rams' bonus choice in 1952. The Vandy Dandy was only one of many great college stars in the '52 crop.

Others included Frank Gif-ford, Ollie Matson, Les Richter. Bob Carey, Babe Parilli and Hugh McEi-henny.
