Practical jokes and pranksters are still very much par t of profes-sional baseball, a l though in recent years there hasn ' t been so much "nonsense. The players are too in-tent on making the team.

1 know of a humorous incident that occurred several years ago, however, when Goose Goslin, JoJo White and Gee Walker (remember them?) went turkey hunting. A <"ay before the season on our feathered f r iends opened, JoJo and he Goose bought a turkey and

i lothes line and went into deep ush about th ree miles from camp, here they tied the bird to a tree. The next morning they guided

Walker in the general direction of ihe turkey, then disappeared. Sure enough, hearing the gobbler, the excited Gerry walked and crawled through muck, mud and briars to come within shooting distance.

Gee t r iumphant ly banged away. Then, with a smile of success, he approached the turkey only to find attached to the tied-up carcass a note that said:

"Nice shooting, Gerry." Late On Field

I 'd guess tha t t h e oldest prank in baseball Is ty ing into a hard knot the baseball stockings of a player arriving late. This, of course, makes him even la te r getting onto the field and sometimes puts him in the doghouse with the manager

A variation of this gag was pulled on first base coach School

boy Howe last year. Schoolboy wore some flashy yellow socks that he seemed to admire a l o t So a couple of players washed them and kept them in a dryer until they had shrunk to the size of baby socks.

What the pranksters didn't know however, was tha t Schoolboy had 11 more pairs jus t like them.

Popular Coach Ball players play practical jokes

usually on fellows they like. Thus, because Rowe is popular, the fo rmer Tiger pitching great is the butt of more pranks than others on the club.

Take the t ime last summer when his wife had just got into Detroit and Schoolboy was hurrying to dress and meet her a f te r a game. There was just one snag. Someone had run a lock through the loops of his t rousers so that he couldn't put them on.

Af te r a lot of hearty laughter, young pitcher Bob Miller came up with a key to unlock them. But it wasn't Miller who had pulled the gag, and Schoolboy to this day wonders who it was. Ol' Diz knows but he 's not telling.

Later, when the Tigers were in Cleveland to close out the season, Rowe arr ived in the clubhouse to find tha t his baseball shoes had been thoroughly nailed to the floor. I t wai one day tha t Schoolboy didn ' t coach the Hickory and Horsehide sport .
