making a totnl of five.
Th* stamp was marked by fast field*
ing on the part of the* local club. Roth's
ratrh of a foul in the* fourth was a
feature. The- ball went to the fence.
In the sixth Heck stabbed a hot one
and threw Parke? out at first. In the

blue tinge when McClesky, Crowell
and Clare singled |n order with no one

other when they come In.

f§! V HANDS ON 70UJR.
..............
EIGHTH OF A SERIES OF PHOTOS. POSED ESPECIALLY BY
JOE TINKER, JR., FOR THE HERALD, ON HOW TO F'LAY BASE
BALL.
GOBB SAYS THIRD
EASIEST TO STEAL
Is it easier to steal third base than
second?
Ty Cobb insists it is easier to steal
third. The “Georgia Peach" is not quite
sure why it is easier, but believes it is
because he is able to get a larger lead
from second. Charley Herzog, who Is
not only an excellet base runner, but has
played third, short and second, handling
throws intended to stop base stealers,
does not agree with Cobb as to the rea
son, but admits it is the easiest bag to
pilfer.
As it is the same distance between
second and third as it is between first
and second, with the catcher having
the advantage of making a shorter throw’,
it would seem that Cobb's argument is
correct, but Herzog blames the number
of steals of third base on the men play
ing the bag. The Cincinnati manager
admits that a base runner can get a bet
ter lead off second than he can when on
first base, but he points out that the run
ner has two men, both of whom are be
hind him. to watch and who “hold him"
to the keystone sack, which makes his
lead off second no greater than a clever
man will get from first base.
Herzog argues that the throw to sec
ond is longer and the catcher Invariably
throws to a moving man. It is the cus
tom of major league catchers to throw
the hall about two feet to the left of
second base if the shortstop is covering
so that the fielder can take the ball while
on the run and be in perfect condition
to tag the runner. If the hall is throwm
to the right of the bag the fielder is in
variably unable to stop, and a runner
sliding to the front of the bag can es
cape him. In throwing when the sec
ond baseman is covering the backstop
aims to the right side of the hag. If he
threw to the left or straight over the
bag the second baseman in covering
would either be forced to overrun the
hag or reach over for the ball and then
come hack the other way to tag the
runner.
Herzog claims that Cobb finds It
easier to steal third base because the
baseman must have the ball before Cobb
Is within ten feet of the bag or he will
find it almost impossible to tag him, as
he must turn completely around after
taking the throw. He adds that there
are few third basemen in the game today
who do not fear the runner’s spikes on a
steal, and the majority are out of posi
tion when they receive the catcher’s
throw.
After watching some third-sackers
miss Cobb time and again when the
throw arrived soon enough to have re
tired the Detroit marvel easily, one is
inclined to believe that Herzog is right.
There are many highly rated third base
men who are almost helpless with a
runner stealing, particularly if the bats
man is wise enough to bluff a bunt when
the steal is coming off. Indeed, in this
list is Honus Lobert, formerly of the
Phillies.—Exchange.

OUTFI ELDING.
By Joe Tinker, Jr.
It isn’t everyone who can get under
a fly and hold it, or field a bounding
grounder and peg it accurately at’td
swiftly to the proper base. These are
but a few' of the requirements of a
good outfielder. Practice and good
judgment will tell the story. The two
essential qualifications are a strong
arm and ability to sprint.
To be a succeessful fielder you must
think and act quick. You must take
the sun and wind into consideration.
You must know' the ground upon which
you are working. A slight roughness
will often defect a grounder. Y’ou
should know the instant a ball it hit
just where it will go.
Fielding alone won’t hold your job.
Do something and do it right with the
ball the instant it hits your glove. It
is a good plan for the left fielder and
the center fielder lo throw to second
base if a runner is on first base and to
throw to third if one is on second.
With the right fielder, if a runner is
on first, peg to second. If no runner is
on, peg to first.
Outfielders should back up one an
other. in tickling a grounder don’t
wait for it to come to you. Grab it on
a bound, while coming in.
