HQW TO PLAY THIRD BASE.
By Heinle Groh of Cincinnati Reds.
(Coryrisht, 1921, by King Features Syn
dicate, jnc. )
My base ball career didn't hein at
third bas. I had no early s.-hooling:
in play at the diihcult eornei What
I know about guarding the far sack
is sometbJiiif that I learned ihroueh
1 tfefcW. lKt:.5bscryin-;;;!.thf. ;.,.rLt!y- ;
greats on 4n(r jot?Hiere.' . ' . ,
'Wbca ;ws iactd at - third I
adopted the policy 'jtwatcliii-g the
opposing third btsjman at work.
I'd discover the gdd points in. his
play as v.cll as his faults. 1 imi
tated the plays that were gootl,
guarded carefully against linking the
same mistakes he did, and :n time,
with such a foundation, worked out
a system of third base play which is
more or less my own. - .
But I always keep in miiid that
one is 'never too old to learn."
Every day I'm out on that b?.U field
I'm watching the. other fellows at
work at third. And each newfday I
usually discover something about
third basing that is . helpful to. me.
For it is my aim to improve, im
prove and improve still more .
Piay Close to Bag.
I adopted a style of play at third
a little different than most of the.
other fellows. I have tested it out
for several years and never found it
wanting: And becanse I icrl that
the play is a mighty good ore, I'm
going to outline it for the youngsters
who are striving to become good
third basemen. ,
Play vcr close to the ba.
I noticed that our club got a
great many hits by driving the ball
over the bag or very near to it. The
reason wc hit safely so often was
that' the third baseman played a
little too far away from the sack to
reach those whistling drives. Usual
ly they went for two baggers.
I used to stand rather far off from
the bag and the other batters -would
whang the ball right past me, too.
They were too far away from me
lo reach. So I shifted over nearer
to the basr and found that the num
ber of my assists increased, i j
moved still farther toward the line ,
played almost on the bag itself,
especially when a right handed
hitter was up.
And after that I made njore and
still more assists. Sometimes, of
course.- I couldn't handle .those!
drives for putouts, but I usually
managed to knock them down and
hold them for infield singles. And
by doing that I stopped the other
fide from scoring runs.
Don't Be Afraid of Ball.
So. play very close to the bag.
You'll find that most of the drives I
will be right at you. Rarely does '
me ordinary batter hit to your ;
gloved side. Most smashes toward j
third are along the baseline. Only a !
few ever go between, the third base-
man and the shortstop. And, when i
they do, tHe chances are that the j
shortstop can crab them. i
Don't be afraid of the ball and
never be afraid of making. an error.
Many third baseman, seeing a hard
hit ball, let it pass bv rather than
make a stab for it. - They're afraid I
nicy migiu tan to Handle it cleanly
and so be charged with an error.
Don't let errors worry you. Stop
that ball-in its progress no matter
what the cost. ..
Only a fellow with a taint o, yel
low is afraid of making an error.
Now about playing a bunt:
First of all, figure out whether
your batter is fast or slow. Then
play accordingly. If he's slow, you
can take a lot of care in getting the
ball and in making your throw per
fect. If he is -fast, you'll have to
grab the hall in a hurry and make
a hurrird throw.
The batter always tries to bunt
V 1 -'i i
For the past year or mure Paddock
has consistently covered the. 120 and
220-yard distances in close to record
time, and there is a little doubt that
his great achievements will be sanc
tioned officially. Affidavits are be
ing forwarded to the A. A. U. of
ficials in Xew York by the officials
who "timed Paddock when he was
credited with 20 3-5 seconds for the
220. It is possible that the Califor
nia flyer will" compete in the special
sprint race or races at the Penn re
lay next month. If he accepts the
invitation of tlje University of Penn
slyyania - he- will meet the greatest
sprinters in the country and will also
meet Allan Woodring of Syracuse
university, who nosed Paddock out
of the 220-metre Olympic champion
ship at Antwerp last summer.

along the line. That being the case,
play the line for that bunt. Don't
play" to your left, but hug closely to
the line. The pitcher will take care
of bunts vto your left. If you play
the line, which is the place where
the batter 'wants to drop the ball,
your very position will worry the
batter. . Furthermore, by playing the
line, you will be, in nine cases out
of ten, facing first base when you
pick up the ball.
- Face the Base
And that must be your aim tq
face the base where you . want to
make the throw, at the very mo
ment you get the ball in your hand.
That will make turning around un
necessary. . Remember that turning
around is a handicap to you for as
you turn you must first get your
bearings before making your throw.
If you don't have to turn, and are
faced at the .target for the throw,
you are sure to make a good throw.
Never play the ball one-handed un
less it is absolutely necessary. Any
time you" attempt a onc-handfl play
you run the terrible risk of missing
the ball altogether. That me ins the
runner is safe and maybe the game
is lost to your side solely through
your blunder. .
, In takiiu a throw from the catcher
to get a man going into third, try to
make the play on the inside of the
bag that is, with your legs inside
the diamond. Put your right foot
on the bat? and your left a little be
hind. Such a stand enables you to
face the catcher and also to be in po
sition to whirl without an iota of
lost, moticn to stab the incoming
runner. '
After yci'vc schooled yoiitself in
these priit.ary points in third base
play the rest is up to you. You've
got to leurn then to play the batter.
You must learn the hitting pecu
liarities of each man that comes to
the plate and make your plays ac
cordingly. Some fellows are notori
ous foul line hitters; others drive
well to th- left of the bag. Some hit
bounders that can fee fielded best
while playing back; others hit in
such a way that the third baseman
must play plate-ward .from third.
So aftrvK you've learned to use
your hands and legs, use your brain.

Should Headlock
Be Barred From
Wrestling Game?
jjohuny Meyers, Middleweight
; .Champ, Firm Believer That
f Toe Hold or Bar-Arm
Much Worse.
Just how dangerous is the head
lock, made famous by F.d (Siran
gler) Lewis and which won him the
heavyweight championship? The
roming match' between Lewis and
Karl Caddock at Des Moines on
April 12 has brought this question
up again. And judges of the wres
tling game seem to lean to the .be
lief that there are several more dan
gerous grips than the one employed
by Lewis.
Recently Ed W. Smith, thari
whom there is no better judge;
Johnny Meyers, middleweight
champion, and Jack Curley were in
conference. The headlock was the
topic of discussion. And all three
agreed that there are more danger
ous holds than Lewis' grip.
Johnny Meyers is a firm believer
that the double wristlock, the toe
hold or the bar arm are mach worse
than the headlock. Meyers presents
this argument: "Since Lewis won
the championship the headlock has
been censured. It isn't half as bad
in my estimation as the double
wristlock, the toe hold or the bar
arm. True it stuns the man on
whom it is put and brings about
defeat, but how many wrestlers have
been hurt by the grip? Few, if any.
It checks the circulation of the
blood to the head and deadens your
strength temporarily. Take the
double wristlock. I have known of
men to break .arms with it or dis
locate shoulders, elbows and wrists
and leave the wrestler seriously in
jured. The same for the toe told
and the bar arm.
"If you eliminate the headlock,
you strip wrestling of its best work,
since almost every hold of conse-
cjuencef is on or about the head.
Lewis 'has tremendous strength, a
quickness that enables him to get
the hcadhold and get it securely, but
with all his strength he hasn't yet
severely injured anybody- and it
isn't likely he will."

More Truth
' By JAMES J.
M
TO THE FACULTY OF VASSAR.
Most grave and reverend gents and dames,
We know that it's your bounden duty
To teach your charges higher aims
Than seeking to enhance their beauty.
Wo know, of course, that you regret
As knees appear, and skirts grow shorter,
That college maidens are too set
On wearing clothes they haden't otter.
Ourselves when young have oft applied
The lash to' fashion's affectations;
The fact that modesty has died
We've hailed with sighs and deprecations;
The duds we see where e're we stray
Arouse our fevered apprehension
And yet the maidens go their way
And never pay the least attention.
Not even when we've pointed out
That these sartorial curtailments,
Without the shadow of a doubt
Result in various bronchial ailments,
And that the more a girl took off
The more her frame grew hollow-chested,
And racked by every cold and cough,
We never got them interested. ,
And so, most grave and reverend dames,
Although your troubled apprehensions
About young ladies' tog proclaims
The worthiness of your intentions :
The more you speak your honest mind
The more their raiment will diminish,
. And in the end you'll only find
You've started something you can't finish!
