Is a rare-fellow .to know, and no one In baseball to-day can think as quick as Hal on or off the ball field. Al Orth, the curvelesa wonder, who fell oft the train- her in Washington on bis way to his Lynchburg home, tells of how he and Chase went Into a celebrated Boston restaurant la the Hub city -and ordered generously.

Ever since baseball struck Its pres ent high rate of speed, big league managers have recognised the fact that a star third baseman Is one of the Indlspensables of a championship team. Every great team has had a great catcher and the same bet goes on third basemen. Collins, of the Athletics: Leach, of Pittsburg; Stelnfeldt, of the Cubs; Tannehill. of the Sox. and Arthur Devlin are among the greatest third basemen that ever trod the far corner Of the diamond, and all have played with championship cluba Frank Chance, of the Cubs, first at tracted the attention of the fans to the absolute necessity of a great third sacker in a fight for a pennant, When Chance started out he saw one weak spot in his infield and one In the outfield. How he filled them stagger ed managers who thoughf they knew something about bold trading. He gave Brooklyn several men for Hheck ard. He duelled that he wanted Stelnfeldt as his third baseman, so he gave Cincinnati some playing tal entand about anything else they wanted. What happened la history. Last year Connie Mack, the shrewd and tight-fisted leader of the Athlet ics, who buys young players for old baseballs, breaks them in and sells them for a-old mines, was driven to paying a fabulous sum and assuming a war-time contract to land Jimmy Collins as his third v baseman. Rut he never filAched. He knew he had to have on.. McGraw gol one of the greatest third basemen in the game by a com bination of' good judgment and good luck. Devlin was with the Newark club In the Eastern League, where his playing had never burned . up the marshes. He came from George town, where he was dear to the un dergraduate body a one of the best full backs that ever graced the foot ball team. Because of his gridiron puissance he was sort of tolerated; as first baseman of the .baseball team, but even as a Blue and Gray athlete ho never showed any' alarming speed on the diamond. v Newark sort of tossed him into a deal with McGraw, nd no New Tork papers hailed the advent of a star. He went South with the team, and then things began to happen. Mo Of aw tried him out at third base, and In a few weeks he developed a re markable natural ability to play the most difficult corner of the infield. Brigaded with three steady workmen like Dahlen, Gilbert, and McGann, the youngster displayed more and more confidence and class, and fairly earned his right to be permanent third sacker of the team. He has never been anywhere near losing his Job since. Playing third base affords as many opportunities for falling down aa a spiral stairway. When you play ;, a little too far for a bunt the brute at bat Is spt to slap one at you like a rifle bullet If you play back a little too far he will lay down. a nasty twisting bunt and you have to scram ble up oif your face, pick it up, with one hand and snap an underhand shot across the diamond In time to nail an eleven-second man who has a start of sixty feet In ninety on the ball. ; . " .-'.- - ' - If you play off to the left for a left-hand batter he At apt to catch one on the end of his hat and scoot It down' the foot line for a lunkv double, while from the left field bleachers float solicitous enquiries as to the condition and specific gravity of your feet. If you play too -close to the base the shortstop will wonder If you are afraid it will sneak off. But Devlin , has played his way through all of It " As a foundation he has a marvelous whip. He Is the best t throwing third v baseman ;. In either league, with the possible ex ception of Stelnfeldt. H4 can pick them up anywhere and get them over to first like a grey streak with an underhand flip. He rarely throws overhand.' ""' " '-;-?--' - Devlin le a wonder on bunts. He has perfected tha spectacular trick of sprinting up on a sacrifice at full nteed, scooping the ball ' with his throwing hand, and snapping It across his doubled-up body with the same motion. H ean rise like an aero when 'those hissing grounders com his way. '-.- -. " -v - He is Bet a - strong V batter, but though he Is not a fast base runner plane for a ltnr. and he pulls off many a sensational stop and throw he Is one of the beat base stealers In the league.

When finally they succeeded they found the ball stuck so tightly in the third baseman's grasp that It took the combined efforts of five players to release It and then it was noticed that the partly closed hand was com pletely paralyzed from the shock of the ball coming Into contact with It Moynihan was several days recov ering from his Injury and regaining the use .of yte hand, but he finally did so, and though the above story may appear unlikely to skeptical peo ple still the Instance Is on record in the annals of the National League."
