Cooney led off and Ryan fol . lowed. Klllian presented Cooney with four choice balla and waa eauallr gen erous to Buddy Ryan. Raftery came along and plucked a nice single ana thla proved the Com mu tare" undoing. He got so nervoua that he threw the i ball to tha graadatand and both Cooney end Ryan trotted cheerfully homeward. Both registered.

It waa a daring thing to do and nobody waa surprised more than th southerners. i Well, with none out Mr. Hardy stepped to the- mountain. He succeeded In retiring th side but not until Baa- sey had atung him for a single. There waa nothing more to do for the home I battalion but to wait until th sixth : Inning.

Warmed up by the excitement lnoideat to a game, Danslg would probably stab a ball thrown 10 feet above the ground. rigares Are Jsemarkabl. These figures are remarkable end re veal the cause for a good deal of the wonderful work being done by young Danslg. There Is another point and a very forcible one that the close observer would hardly notice. Perhaps you have wondered at the closeness of some of the umpire's decisions around first This Is the secret Danslg alwaya faces ths fielder with his body stretched as far as it will go toward him. Hla nlns foot reach amounts to a little more than on stride of a baserunner going at full speed. In other words with conditions equal between runner and thrower Dan slg wilt hold the ball as the runner be gins his last stride. More than on slowly hit ball haa been fielded to firat In time to retire the runner by this lit tle artifice of the Beaver first sacker. In all the above respects Danslg Is Chase's master. Chase Is a left hand el and that accounts for his wonderful rapidity at the fielding gama Chase can advance on a bunt dowa the first baas line, whip it to aecond without aa. extra motion of his body and get back In time to complete a lightning double play. He can stab a hard fly with his iuv- rigm nana wane uansig must use bis bar band after those kind. In advancing on a bunt bit Intended aa a sacrifice, Danslg, who Is a right bander, must turn around to throw it to first. This takes time and the like lihood of as fast a double ia less cer tain. Whether Chase is faster at tha -sprinting game than Danslnr is prob lematical Hal Isbfast but, if one does not think Danslg can set up space be tween the bases he has another guess coming. , He 1 slow starting, but one in motion covers around with great even strides that measure close to nine feet He can run 190 yards in 19 - seconds. JVess to Choose Wltb Kick. With the stick there is probably less to choose between the two than in any other department True Chase is a great batsman, but he has been plsytng major league ball long enough to know every crook and turn Uaulng from the pitcher's box. Danslg knows a few of these tricks, too. and ha hlta mniUUni. ly about the .300 mark. -He may not be so adept 'as ths veteran at the bunting tame, but Chase can teach htm nothing "New Bedford did everything to 6Vver me up but the eagle eyed scout of the Boston Americans insisted on drafting ma They did a funny thing In cov ering up my .work.
