FOBTKR CHAPTKIl 11 Pick Pluckv Boys for First For the first baseman on the boy'd ball team, or the team of the ama teur. It Is not nrecssary'to take the tallest player on the squad although a tall player, who has the other ad vantages, is the right kind of u play er to have. Sometimes a shorter boy makes a hiuh class first baseman. You need va boy with strength and pluck, llunners go fast to first base and a player to be successful there must stand his ground. Also be sure that the first baseman is limber and supple. He will have to do a lot of stretching both to catch the ball on the line when it is thrown to him and to pick It off the ground. ' He must be a good catcher of thrown balls and in that respect in sort of an as sistant catcher. He hns the advan tage of playing with u big fclove as has the catcher, but he must alae hove tlie ability of holding the ball In the glove with his bare hami |: takes a knack and It takes pluck when the runner Is right on lop ol the busemun as the ball Is coming, too. Second IIhm* lni|M?rtMiit Posit'on The second baseman should he ;i player on his to?>s. The second bus - mnn Is really the right field short stop combined with second bate A* baseball is played these days botli shortstop and second baseman pla> second base and one of them I. shortstop on th erlght field side anr the other shortstop on the left fielc sldo. The second baseman cannot h:?v? too good a throwing arm and he ca not be too quick In starting for ? ball that Is batted, thrown poorly, o gets away from another player on hi team. Alertness and speed must l? possessed bv the second bnsemaa an? he should have the knack rf touch Ing base runners without beln afraid of them. Everything that Is batted bctWM second base and the first bn*ema comes to him and he hns his hand Cull in almost ev? ry game In rffhic he takes part. If he Ik a m?o thrower often he Is the ready sua who takes the throws that coin from the outfield. For the shortstop, exactly t *i same thing giay he said as hn?r b.?e for the second baseman. There wa a time when the shOftsteo w.n cor sldered to be the great hack it>? plaj er. He was presumed to *>e all ov the diamond and to assist ??y< v/bed hut In th< ae days h Is no i tiok up payer than the mcoisI b:i?w mflW. They divide all th" terrltoi hstfcreen them because ib" so^on bnsehan Is not anchored to hh bn> as our grandfathers payed t*i ? p?m Hon. They though the second h:i*? man should be right on top of tin , base all of the time. The shortstop gets everything b twoen second base and the thh asscinan and be plays second fill a^ much as the second basema plsys It. In fact their positions at sort of Slane-se twin affairs wit'i dl ferent names. (iofsl Thrower Require*! for Tlilnl The third baseman must !>?? good a thrower as you have, and fielder who is sure of being a' le t handle hits that come down to hli a mile a minute and the reason wl the third baseman must be n little better possibly than the flint base man is that the greatest number of batters are right handed and they keep up a bombardment a gains'. the' third baseman which Is more severe | than that o*::iinst the first basod I throwing arm because he hai the! long throw to make almost all of thej time and lie must be able to put ipeed on the ball as there isn't much , time to get it over. For the outfielders get boys who' can Judge fly hits. Get Just as good i batters as possible. If boys can Judge Ions? hits a.id are good batters and j if he can also run f:ist they are ex actly what the big leaguers look for when they seek , outfielders. Speed is essential in the outfield. It Isn't absolutely necessary if ft boy can catch pretty well and hit, too, but It counts for him. When boys are high clans outfielders and some of them are, they certainly command atten tion by making fine plays. Our col lege men in the outfield have been good In recent years and their catches of fly hits equal to any. PHONE 114 Standard Pharmacy THEY WILL SEND IT. j New York. April 29.?Whatever* the merits of the original issue be-j 'tween Tllden and the United States' Lawn Tennis Association, the most: recent development seems to have I worked into a question which is thej bigger. the world's lawn tennis' champion or the organization that! conducts American lawn tennis? In delaying the enforcement of the player-writer rule until 1925 the ???mi:; ? sroclntkn ht?r1 r?o thoutM of ' m paring* oo thodght cf fotklag certain that at least another Davis cup victory should be insured before p:ilf inu clamp?? upon those all. ?_'< d to be d? riving large incomes through their prominence as racqute wield ers. it Involved merely the allow ance of a season of grace in defer ence to existing contractual relations between players and publishers. Tllden in precipitating matters was probably actuated by a desire to bring home to the tennis public in general a realization that the rul ing means practically the loss of one depended upon above all others to maintain our International tennis (prestige. Now comes Vincent Rich ards' statement. He stand with Tll den. Those who hold that American lawn tenuis stands for something bigger than individual interest will 'accept with regret the tacit an nouncement of these two stars that their present Journalistic pursuits come before their duty as represen tative tennis players. None the less the stand of Tllden and Richards will add to the support that has al ready been given to the committee on amateurism of the U. S. L. T. A., if only because of the conviction that their financial rewards must be very material to cause them to throw down their country. STRAW HAT TIME MAY 1st Big shipment just re ceived.
