" It It always the caas in a contest that torn of the very beat prise are

with a vim. .:.--.,...
The contest manager says that those who coin In late are always par
tlculafly welcome, for he knows that they are going to do something well
worth while. They are not the kind who grow discouraged and drop out

Vic Saier Being Hailed
As Greatest Firsi-Sacker
CHICAGO, Aug. 11. Frequently
( .is remark is voiced by some studious
baseball fan that Viv Saier, Chicago
Cub player, never will enter the real
'of fame because he lacks aggressive,
nes.
When that remark Is beard the only
'answer that can be given to it Is:
'"Give him time."
i Jake Daubert, who Is here with the
Brooklyn club, wai the same type of
athlete that Saier Is when he first
Joined the major league company. He
was young, had little to say and
minded his own business. When he
wa called out. on strikes or waved
out at one of the 'bases he said nary a
word, looked at the umpire and strode
back to the 'bench.
learned to Talk Back.
That did not continue long with
Daubert. . He soon realised the im
portance of being aggressive and
fighting. He was older than Saier Is
when he was Introduced to what Is
termed fast company. It took Dau
bert about two seasons to grow ac
customed to the surroundings and
talk back to the umpires and also' to
keep up a flow of language while at
first base. He is now one of the
greatest first basemen in baseball.
Saier has yet to make his first vig
orous protest to an umpire for
wrongly calling a strike or wrongly
making a decision. There Is no doubt
the officials behind the plate have
misses numerous strikes on him, but
the strongest objection they ever
received from him was what Saier
tho'ught wis a look of dkigust. He 1
timid, and It is to be expected. He
lacks the experience. Before joining
the Cubs in 1911 he had one season's
experiene in the minor league, and
that was in his horn town, Lansing,
Mich. In It 11 he joined the Cubs,
and was not yet 20 year old. He Is
only 20 accounts for. his Shyness In
adopting Even' and Zimmerman's
tactics In abusing the indicator head
ier. Destined to Be Great- Baseman.
Saier is destined to be one of the
greatest first basemen in baseball.
Few surpass him now. Daubert is
the only man In the National league
who can be said to have an edge on
him, but that edge Is slight. The
Brooklyn man la bound to be a little
better fielder, because he Is a left
handed thrower, and that makes all
the difference In the world In work
on. a sack. In spite of .pegging with
hie right hand, Saier is a wizard In
forcing men at second base, because
in nniiia uuurnaDiy on nis ieei. i
Frank Chance, when he was In his
prime as first baseman for the Cubs
in the pennant-winning days of 1906-7-J,
had the refutation of being the
best man in the organization for tak
ing wide throws on the . foul line
with a runner speeding to the base.
Saler'was Chance's understudy for two
years, and had acquired the skill of
the ex-Wettslde commander and ha
gone as far a to lmiprov upon them.
One of the most noticeable features
of his playing Is his ability to step out
and spear wide throws nnd to pick
them out of the dlrst
Has Shown Improvement. .
Decided and marked improvement
is what should he said of Baler's play
ing this season. He has developed In
every department because he Is a stu
dent of the game, a corking good lis
tener and he tries to put Into prac
tice what he Is taught. How brilliant
he Is can be learned while Brooklyn
I here, for the fans will have a
chance to compare him with Daubert
It is not an tin-fair comparison for Hi
youngster Is so sensatlo.ial that he
can 'be classed with the best of thm.
Fielding is not the only Improve
ment in which Saier has improved.
The strides he has made In his batting
he would be exceedingly weak against
left-handed pitchers. It was thought
he would be exceedingly wak against
them, but he was perserverlng and
determined and solved the way to bat
effectively against port-side hurling.
Curve balls were his weakness, but
he has mastered them and he con
nects with the benders of a left-hander
almort as easily as he does' with
those of a right-hander. He Is lead
ing the club In home runs, with seven
to his credit, and Is batting close to
the . 300 mark. What Is more and
important is that his hitting has heen
timely.
As has 'been mentioned before,
give him time, and he will stand In
the front row with the greatest fiMt
basemen of the day. . He will be ag
gressive and a fighter because he
likes the game. All he requires Is
Just a little more experience. After
this season h will be full developed
and next season he may supplant
Daubert or Miller as the league's
cleverest first sackerIf h do, not
do that he will be runoing neck and
neck with them for th honors,

I TUne and again Manager McOraw,
of the New Tork Giants, ha bsen
seen dashing up to a batter wits
runner or two on the base, talk to
him for a minute or two and then
sprint back to th ooaeher box at
third base.
"He doe that to worry th pitcher,"
la th cry that goes up a oon as
he is seen to walk up to a batter.
"His s;heme Is to make the pitcher
think some unusual play I to be per
petrated."
This is not to. McOraw never
hustles up to a player at the plate or
call him toward the coacher's box
without telling him to try omethlng.

immediately he endeavors to outguess
the opponent.
"What does McOraw tell his batter
when he talks to them before they
step up to hit?" was asked Al Slid
well, of the Chicago Cubs, who was
formerly a member of the New Tork
team. -
"Tou can bet that every time Mc
Graw call a man from the plate he
tells him what to do," replied Brld
well. "It all depends on the situation.
Some times hs will request his man
to bluff a hunt and then switch on
the next hall and hit Then he may
tell him to give the runner on first
a chance to steal second or he may
order him to wait out the pitcher. ,
Chance are he will say to th battr:
Walt for on on th outside and hit
