HAL CHASE TELLS HOW TO PLAY BASEBALL
IJr Sportsman.
. ' Basketball now occupies the center of
i the stage, and from now unm iu eariy
part of March the big collegiate games
. will follow In rapid succession and tha
hopes baaed on ruontha or prattles wju
tbe realised or shattered. Basketball la
unique In one particular, and that la,
while being a. game win. empnaaises
moat thoroughly tho value of team play,
It requires at-tha same time that each
'i player be a highly skilled specialist.
- In football It 1 possible towlft with
one ,or two weak membera on the team,
but In basketball,' If ttiere be a alngrle
flaw or a weak member there la llttlt
hope for aucceas. Of all gumes played
by our American youth, baaketball holds
the palm for . speed, strenuous, aggres
sive, fighting speed. The teams must
be trained to go for 20 minutes without
a letup, for to falter la to lose In the
great Indoor game. , v . ; -
It Is surprlalng that a game as young
as baaketball la could find welcome
place In the lives of American sports
men. When- James Nalmth nailed a
couple of peach baaketa to the warfl of
, the old gymnasium at the Springfield
training school, and taking a rubber
football urged hla fellow students to
take a try at the new game he had In
vented, none of the group who were In
at the birth of baaketball, realised what
' aa Immenae place it would fill In the
athletlo life of our people, j
Thousands Flay It.
This was in 1193 and since that day
thousanda and thousands of American
boya and girls have benefited and
gained in physical strength by playing
tne game. While basketball permits
of marvelous individual skill and da
mands superb- teamwork. It 'has tbe
added value of being enjoyed by the
novice as well as by the expert. It
would be hard to estimate the nurn
ber of people who play basketball in
a single season, ' but aa every small
town and ' every' high school, college
and preparatory school are represented
by teama, the total number must be
enormous. ' I '
There are several sets of rules In
vogue. The A. A. U. rules have been
adopted by the athletic . cluba and Y.
M. C. A. of the country, and are played
by many secondary schoola. Then -we
have the girls' rules a aet compiled
for tho benefit of feminine players who
might find the men's game somewhat
strenuous and physically harmful. Then
there Is the professional sef of rules
and in the New England atatea and
Pennsylvania especially, the profes
sional game haa a big winter follow
ing. This game Is played In a court
that Is entirely enclosed by a net and
for thla reason is known as the cage
game.
The set of rules that is most satis
factory to college men Is the collegiate
code, and as this set of rules Is ar
ranged by representatives of the lead
ing universities and colleges of the
country, they have found general ac
ceptance among the educational instlr
tutlons.
Oune Knob raster.
The game as played by the collegians
Is much faster than the game aa
played by the athletic clubs and Y. M.
C. A. This Is largely due to the fact
that greater freedom is allowed In
dribbling and there are not so niaiiy
technicalities fhat aro penalised by the
calling of foul , This year, wfth:the

and should have been dune years aao.
As n matter of fact, the northwcil is
big enough and Important enough, ath
letically, to have each year a big open
cross-country run In which all of thu
distance men representing the various
colleges would bo privileged to compete.
Long-distance running will never
amount to much unless cross-country
racing Is fostered. Occasionally, a good
man may be developed, but tho averago
will always remain low unless there Is
greater participation In tho distances.
There is no reason why we should not
have high-class performers In the half,
mile ar.d two-mile runs.
As It Is now. tho performances In
these events are uniformly mediocre,
and It is only rarely that a man dem
onstrates exceptional ability in these
distances. Let us have mom cross
country running, and the whole north
west will gain additional prestige of thf
distance flyers that we develop.

every angle. What I have learned I am
glad to tell to others. It may help
some unknown boy up the rocky road of
success. There is nothing so absolutely
necessary as beginning properly.
Should Have I.ong Beach.
A first baseman should be possessed
of better than average reach. He has
to handle wide as well as perfect throws.'
He must be agile. He must be accurate
In throwing and as accurate in timing
and receiving throws. And he must pos
sess thst activity and nlmbleness that
win protect him from collision with
base runners.
Whether or not the most Important,
the first baseman Is but one part of a
machine. Kach player must, of course,
thoroughly understand his fellow. It Is
for this reason that secret, simple sig
nals, known only to the club using them,
are used. Every man must know ex
actly the sort of ball the pitcher will
deliver the outfielder so that ho may
"plant" himself at the nearest spot to
which a. fly is likely to fall. ;the in-
flelder so that he may shift his position
to Intercept a ground ball or liner. Cal
culations will at times go awry. . But
the fact that every expected play calls
forth Btrategy helps to cope with the
unexpected.
JVo Bet Playing Xnles.
There are no set rules for playing
any position. ' No two plys happen ex
actly the same way. Right hand bat
ters have a tendency to hit toward left
field and vice versa, but there are so
many exceptions as almost to disprove
the rule, , .
The first baseman's duties are many
He' is ost responsible, for an opponent
reaching his station. . Until he gets to
first a player Is harmless. ' In addition
the first baseman must lend every aid In
accurate throwing, relaying and- backing
up or throws to others Also he must
be alert , to.connlve . with the battery in
catching a runner off his base, for It
Is easier' to do . this -at first than, any
other base.
As the great majority of outs happen
at first base, the guardian of this pillow
must be a' finished fielder.- The first
baseman is often . exposed to danger.
To a left handed, first baseman the dan
ger is naturally greater. A throw to
the Inside of the bag, that Is, between
the base and the runnersnaturally
draws the fielder into the danger cone.
A right-handed fielder; with his glove on
the left hand, can reach out and pluck
the ball from, off the runner - without
endangering his own, safety. Harry
Davis, of the Athletics, at bis best, was
perhaps the most skilled at this trick.
Still, if he but remember that' touching
any part of the bag with the least nor.
tion of the foot Is as good as planting
himself In the middle, any first sacker
may soon learn to protect himself. To
do this it is necessary to be able' to shift
to either root quickly.' f
v Throw Znsld .Bag,
A throw to : the" inside of the ban
I generally play by keeping- my right
toe on the sack and toy body as far out
In foul territory; as' possible, 1 use
left foot for an outside throw. One
must always 1 figure quickly on a posi
tion best suited for protection In case
of collision. - - . , , ,
The territory covered depends .on a
fielder's speed to a great extent. But
speed must be backed by ability to slse
up a , situation quickly and correctly.
For instance, it Is the player who gets
away to the right pliace at the , crack
of the bat that shines. For a aldw man
I play deepest. These. are some men Jn
the "American league for whom Jt can go
out Almost to right-field without danger.
Many times I have been Joshed, by the
bleachers for this. In foreign cities they
accuse mo at times of grand sUnd play.
But you must remember that the deepest
you play the more chance you have to
get a ball hit In your direction. llay
as deeply as possible at all times; but
not too deeply to prevent getting to
your station for any sort of a throw In
case some ono else handles tho ball.
Somehow the fielding end of It came
natural to ino. I rlti not hsvo much
trouble In gauging throws. But no two
Inflelders throw the same way.
Southpaw Better ntted.
I believe a left-handed first baseman
Is better fitted for the position than
a right bander. He uses thu left hand
for throwing. This makes a snap' throw
to second or third much easier. He
naturally faces these bags. The right
hander has to turn round, losing valu
able time. As to throwing to the plate,
there is no advantage at either ntyle.
I believe the time will come when a
right handed first baseman will bo al
most as rare as a left handed third
baseman now Is. Fred Tennry was the
pioneer southpaw first sacker. He orig
inated the sacrifice killing plsy. That
IS. on a bunt to him he tried for tho
man that was to.be advanced. I did
the same thing before I heard of Tenney.
It was as natural for me to do It as
to" play for the plate with the bases full
and none out For a right hander the
play is more difficult. He loses too
much time in turning after batting tho
ball.
It takes good tools to do good work,
That is why one should stick to the glove
tnat gives him best results. I use
rather small glove, with very little nad
ding, for I have found It much easier to
handle ground balls with. My advice Is
never to use a new glove in real nlav
oerore it is tnoroughly broken In.
It never pays to become cureless. No
one knows this better than myself, for
it is one of my worst faults. The ma
Jority of my errors crop out pn the
easiest chances. Often I feel so sure of
a play that appears easy that I make It
before the hall arrives. There is no
play so easy as to be ft dead certainty
A ground ball or throw will bound
differently to you almost every day. A
baked diamond Is naturally lively. A
muddy, wet Infield Is dead. On the first
a ball will bounce, like rubber. On
theiatterlt will stop or hug the ground
ever stum preliminary , practice. A
player cannot too well know tho peculi
arities of the ground which ho covers.
Now. ss to a few tricks that will help
a nrst Daseman arter he bas mastered
his position. For a left hander the
sacrifice bunt killer Is about the most
important. . . Never attempt It unless you
are sure every team mate knows your
purpose. Dash at the- start of the pitch.
The player will Instuntlv tip his hand,
If he intends to cross you. If he tries
to hit It out. stop short. That will give
you a better ehnnee to go over to either
side of a grounder.
S&ap Throw Used.
A snap throw to second or third fol
lowing a play at first, will often get a
man running ahead of the. hatter. As
first Is the only base which It Is pos
sible, to overrun, a player on a clone
sprint will often be unable to pull up
short at second or third. Kspcclally Is
this true When hrf finds he Is not draw.
Ing.the throw. n thjs :iuw, he does not
have to sllfii -This Impetus carries him
aeroNS the sack If he has to huKtle to
get this sim Ion. A second haHeman or
shortstop who covers con often put tho
ball on hlm before he can get hack.
This is a dangerous plsy to attempt,
except with the most wideawake
helpers. If the man who. covers second
gets the throw no hurm. Is done, whether
or not the play Is successful. But If he
falls to connect, It is almost as disastrous
as a base hit. 1 remember one game In
Which I threw threq times at the out
field because no one was on hand to
take the throw. It Is naturally an
emergency piny, which must be pulled
so quickly that the first baseman has
to depend on the Intelligence of his
fellows to put It through. There Is no
chance for secret signals In this one.
A right hander can work the trick
equally well on a proper throw from the
second baseman.
' - By W. W. Naughton. '
. San Francisco, Feb. ft. Jim Corbett
will nut have It that Jeffries "out-
boxed"' him or proved the, "cleverer" in
their last contest In San Francisco.
In a recently published article Jim at
tempts to pull to pieces my articles in
favor of Jeffries on the occasion re
ferred to, and as Is his wont when
dealing with adverse critics, tries t
quench me In the most gentlemanly
manner possible.
There is one thing I can ssy for Cor
bett. It hss been my privilege at vari
ous ttmes during tha last quarter of a
century anyhow since 188t to criticise
Jim not always harshly by any means
and I cannot recall that my bluntness
ever brought me a scowl from the fel
low I saddled with-' the fighting nick
name of "Pompadour Jim."
Corbett Beady to Admit.
He was always pleased to meet end
converse with; always ready to" admit
that a sporting editor hsd a right to an
honest expression of opinion, no matter
how unpleasant reading it might make.
But argument Is argumejit, and here's
at you, Jim.
In dissecting my views he says:
"No. I'll tell you what gave this
porting writer an Idea that Jeffries
outboxed me in that San Francisco,
fight, in the second round of that con
tent Jeffries caught me with a hard
left swing In the short ribs, that
knocked all the strength out of me, and
consequently robbed me of mv speed."
Jim Says a lot.
That will do for the present Jim
says a whole lot more, but It Is too long
to quote, and I don't wish to garble it.
I think I can muku my point from the
extract above given.
Corbett was trained to the minute for
that fight. He gave himself Bpvelal
preparation, in fact, and hoped by tho
use of crowbars, giant dumbbells and
other weighty apparatus to be ablo to
gather slome of the Jeffries strength on
to the Corbett cleverness, and thus make
a combination that couldn't be neat.
He had all the confidence that came
from the knowledge that the world con-
Idered him a paragon of pugilistic sci
ence. He had the self-reliance that
came from having stood off Peter Jack
son, admittedly Australia's premier
heavyweight. He had the further self
reliance that came, to him from tho fact
that "he had made a monkey" of Jef
fries for over 20 rounds at Conty Island.
Bow It All Happened.
He started out on this second fight
clear brained, stout lunged. Umber mus
cled and nlmblo footed. He began to
fiddle and feint, to bewilder and tangle
the giant In front of him; yet to take
his own words for It. Jeffries U t nil
hla plans .and knocked all his know l
edge, confidence and experience Into
cocked hat "with a hard left hand swing
In the short ribs" t,iat. knocked all ti
strength out of him And robbed him of
his speed.
Isn't that being outboxed? I think v
And what does being outboxad man.
anyhow?. Isn't it the .winner who out
swims or outruns the other man or oth
er men? Of course It Is. ".
A little further along JUn says: "Now
I'm simply using this explanation ("
show my readers that Jeffries Is not a
rlover boxer." .
W&at Xa OKvsrattsT
All right Jim, but pray what consti
tutes cleverness? Can any kind of show
ing or performance that falls of Its ob
ject be considered clever?
When an army general, noted for Ills
brilliant maneuvers, plana what he con
siders will be a series of baffling move
ments on a battlefield, and Is lej Into a
trap anfl smashed to a pulp by tbe op
posing general, which is tha clever man?
Supposing even that Oeneral Number
One, had led the bther general a merry
dance for hours, but was finally cor
nered and conquered Isn't the conquer
ing general the cleverer? I think so.
Somewhere else Jim says: . ' '
"Even Jeffries himself lsys no claim
to exceptional ability as a boxer. ,
Jeff Has Mil.
Don t you believe anything of that
kind. A statement of that character, In
fact, suggests a lack of knowledge or
human nature. There was never a man.
or woman, cither, who excelled in any.
department of endeavor who did not!
consider himself or herself master of all
the side lines In the connection. I
Jeffries docs consider himself a hlgh-f
ly finished boxer, or at least he dll
when he relinquished the game. He not
only aaked me prior to his fight with
Corbett to watch if he did not outbox
the former champion, but he Inquirer:
of me after the affair If I did not, think '
he had mado good' in his ante-contest j
bosst. j
In the old days, Jeffries not only!
wished to be looked upon as an cxpo-j
ncnt of clever rlngmanshlp, but he wa?
consumed with tho desire to look dapper
and willowy In action. One time ho un-,
dertook to reduce the slse of his legs so
that they might resemble the underpin
ning of a clever boxer, rather than the
massive Mupiorts pf a thick, bodied
strong man.
It was a great relief to Billy Pelaney
when the champion decided it couldn't
he done, for the veteran trainer was
8frald that Jeff would affect his
Htrength oy tho drastic methods of re
duction employed. f
