Failure To Cover First Base
Proves Costly Mental
Slip
/ By BILLY EVANS
Always cover first base.
That is a set rule in baseball that
pitchers are supposed to follow when
the batsman grounds to the first base<
man.
Always back up fiirst base on a
throw from an infielder when there is
no play at the plate.
Catchers are suposed to do that so
as to be in a position to handle any
overthrow of that base.
Pitchers and catchers in the major
leagues follow out these two theories
religiously. Hundreds of times it is

a wasted effort as the play is perfect
ly executed.
Occasionally the pitcher and catch
er slip up on the play, fail to go
over, and invariably the boot proves
costly.
Bill Doak, star pitcher of the St.
Louis Cardinals, is offered as Exhibit
A to prove the necessity of a pitcher
always covering 4irst base.
Slip Proves Costly.
Failure to cover first base has
robbed Bill Doak of three no-hit
games and prevented him from oc
cupying a spot in baseball’s hall of
fame that no other pitcher has ever
reached
“Covering first base is a hobby of
mine. Don’t believe I have failed to
go over a half dozen times in, my
career. Every time I have failed to
go over a base hit has been the re
sult.”
There is the way Doak views his
failure to be on a pitch pedestal all
his own.
Cyrus Yopng has two for his rec
ord—in 1904 against the Atheletics
and in 1908 against the Yankees.
The late Addie Joss had two, turn
ing the trick for Cleveland in 1908
against the White Sox and against
the same teanj two years later.
Christy Mathewson has two in the
National League against St. Louis in
1901 and Chicago in 1905.
And they are the only big league
pitchers who have acquired no-hit
fame in more than one game.
How Doak Lost Out.
Doak’s slips are famous. Tn 1920
he was pitching at Philadelphia. lie
was leading, 5 to 0, pntering the
eighth inning, when Cyrus Williams
dribbled one of those slow twisters
down the first base line.
The ball was fielded by Jacques
Fournier, but when he looked around
to the bag for Doak, to his surprise
Bill was still on the rubber and Wil
liam was on first base with the only
hit of the game.
Time advances to the 1922 season.
On May'll the Cardinals were play
ing the Giants. Doak was pitching.
Dave Bancroft, first up in the game,
shot a roller to Fournier. Again Bill
Doak saw a no-hit slip out of his
reach for he failed to cover while
Bancroft slid to the bag ahead of
Fournier. And that was the only hit
for the Giants, Doak wining 2 to 0.
The next scene took place on July
13 with Doak pitching against the
Phillies. He was leading, 1 to 0,
opening the seventh and on his way
to a hitless game. Curtis Walker,
opening the winning sent one of those
familiar skippers to Fournier. Once
again Doak failed to get ove r in
time. That was the only hit for the
Phillies.
Three rank scratches have de
prived Doak of a remarkable record.
Talk to National League basebal.
experts and they will’ tell you that
Bill Doak is one of the smartest
pitchers in the cuircuit. Yet Doak,
who has had the highest ranking
twice since 1914, has missed three
no-hit games because he has failed
to follow the ball and cover first
base.

WILL RADIO POWER |
YET TURN WHEELS
Charles P. Steinmetz, Famous En
gineer, Says This Is Theoreti
cal, Even Now
SCHNECTADY, N. Y., March 13.
—Will factories be driven by radio
ppwer?
Theoretically it is possible and it
may come as an international devel
opment, says Charles P. Steinmetz,
electrical wizard. Not by directed
radio —power transmission’similar to
present communication transmission
—for he dismisses that as “a very
small possibility.” W’hat he sees is
world industrial power taken from
immense waves encircling the globe,
thrown into space by a m’,‘hty central
sending station and measured in mil
lions of kilowatts—if science can on
ly find the super electro-magnetic
wave that will make this possible.
Here is the wizard’s latest jolt for
the scientific world. He says:
Radio transmission by directed
waves seems a small possibility be
cause the power is scattered too much
except over moderate distances.
Another possibility, theoretically,
is by resonant vibrations or standing
waves. Suppose we had a very large
sending station sending out electro
magnetic waves not of hundreds, but
of millions of kilowatts; and suppose
we could find a wave length where the
absorption in the pasasge of the wave
through space is sufficiently small as
to be negligible compared with the
amount of power.
Assuming first there were no re
ceiving stations. Then the waves is
suing from the sending stations would
encircle the globe and return to the
sending station. And if the wave
length is adjusted so that the return
wave coincides with the outgoing
wave, it will return its power. Thus
little power would be required from
the sending station to maintain such
a system of high-power standing
waves, only enough to supply the
losses.
Suppose we elect a second station,
tuned for the same wave length as
the sending station. It would reson
ate with, the standing electro-mav
netic wave issuing from the sending
station, thereby stop its passage by
absorbing its energy. It would, as
we may say, punch a hole in the
standing wave sheet coming from the
sending station.
Power would then flow into this
hole; the sending station would begin
to send out additional power to m ain
tain the wave sheet, and this power
would be received by the receiving
station.
This would give a real radio power
transmission. Any receiving station
of suitable design would be able to
pick up power from the universal
power supply carried by the standing
wave sheet covering the earth.
