| Text | The new coaching lines have been marked off, and the coachers got down in the corner for the first time in last Thursday's game. It looks a little bit odd to see the coacher standing near third base, but it is just as good a position as if he was on the catcher's neck. “Latham was there” in the last Pittsburg-Brown game and he made more noise than he ever did before in his life, to the great amusement and delight of the spectators. Even the Pittsburgers were obliged to smile when Latham would shout out: “That's right, Jim; go to second on this ball,” this to Jim O'Neil, when everybody knew that Jim couldn't get to second unless the ball got pat the catcher. “Work him up, Dave; make Galvin throw to first, he'll have the ball in the grand stand in a minute and some boy'll put it in his pocket and keep it there till you score;” this to Foutz. “Foghorn” Bradley wanted to say something to Latham, but he only looked on and scratched his head. |
