Why do some players who are sen-
sations in the minors fall to deliver
in the majors?
Why do other players who meet
with only fair success in the bushes
develop into major league stars?
That has been a. deep. dark mystery
for years to major league scouts and
managers. It will probably remain
so forever. »
It is peculiar. too. for the rough
fundamentals of the game are the
same in the minors as in the majors.
Take the case of James Roy VVai-
ker. a six-foot right-handed pitcher
of spend. curves and enough pitching
stuff. according to major league ex-
ports. to live a long life as a major
ieagucr.

Cleveland Indians about., six years
ago. He was noted for control in
the minors. In the American
League he four-bailed his way back
to the minors.
