would take volume. SIDE SLIDE on LEGS.
But, put briefly, is as if we were sitting
on d wave and went first INTO the trough of
the sea and then rose TO the crest. He
slides in feet foremost, lying on his back,
but Tegains an upright position as soon as
his feet touch the base. just how it is done
nobody seems to know, and it is doubtful If
Roger could tell. OF course it is partially
accounted for by the fact that he has mar
Vicious strength in his limbs, but there are
contributing elements that so far have not
been ceiined. HanlOn is another " foot ="
slider, but Ned instead of going in on his
back, slides on his side. He has a rare
knack of Judging distance, too, and seldom
slides more than twice the length of his own
body. Fogarty, of the Phillies, slides lnsa
clever way that reminds the spectators that
the swimming season is at hand. His arms
are stretched far in advance of his body,
and his legs bent at the knees. Mulvey, Of
the same club. slides much the same as
Fogarty, but docs not bend his knee.
Pittsburgh's clever fielder, Billy Sunday,
slides in almost the style that Ward has
made so popular here, but Billy has not the
knack of swinging around the bases. He
is a spec runner, however, and his pace
and sliding ability makes him dangerous
man for opposing teams when he is on the
bases. Brown, of Boston, gets to the bases
as if the base line were strip of water
OFF Nantucket beach. His style on the
ground is like that of an expert in the
water. He extends one arm and slides
half on his side, much the same as a man
who is using the English over hand stroke
in swimming. Opposed TO those men who
slide are others who believe that their
necks are too valuable to risk. jim o Rourke
is one who does not believe in being injured
by sliding, although he sometimes breaks

II Is easier to side tnan run, and they lnya-
riably make longer slides than speedy man
would find necessary. Orr, in fact, always
gives the impression that he has forgotten
that winter is past and tobaggining over.
He runs about half the distance between
bases and then slides the rest. Although
he weighs considerably more than two hun
dred pounds and has rotund paunch, he
never seeks to save himself, but slides along
as if on an Indian sled out of chute ON the
Polo Grounds Williamson is another long
slider, and he, like Orr. uses his wealth
of stomach as a sled. Ward is the scientific
slider. He runs toward the base at break
neck pace, and when within few yards of
it dashes TO the ground. throwing hislegs
outward as he does SO and passing behind
the baseman. His trick has not been
learned by others yet, but IL is good one,
and rarely is he caught when stealing TO a
base Ewing is another clever slider, but
"Buck depends more on speed and dash
than trickery to gain MS point. He goes in
headformost, and if a baseman is not care
full he viii scarcely avoid being upset
Latham is like Ewing. Speed is his strong
point. and often he has slid so hard that
when coming in contact with the baseman
the latter has been upset.

plause if successful. Barked Sims, torn
scalp, bruised limbs and body he gets for
his daring, and little else. AS has been
said, some men slide to the bases feet fore
most and others go headlong. Which style
is the better is a mooted question, each
having an equal number OF opponents and
adherents The best siiders, however, pre-
fer the headlong plunge. Johnnie Ward,
Ned Williamson, Fogarty, Ewing, Sunday,
Mulvey, Nash, Brown, of Boston, Latham,

well known go in head foremost, while % the
