a scientific player Any dub with prac-
tice can line the ball out, but it takes a
genius to bunt. Some fans demand that
player hit the ball hard and send it
whistling over the diamond. That is all
right, but IS 1t as neat an exhibition as
II the player hunted and got his base
and maybe advanced runner?-
Say, for instance, there is a runner on
first base. a batter who generally hits
the ball safe, but who also can bunt
comes up. He faces tie pitcher, who de
slres to know whether it is to be base
hit, bunt, or an out. Then begins
beautiful contest. The wary pitcher
bends all his energies toward keeping
them up and over. The batter stands,
eXpectant and alert, and the instant he
sees line ball coming out goes his bat,
the ball drops, rolls a little ways, and
when the play is ended the batter is safe
on first and the runner is anchored at
second.
The pitcher and third baseman of the
opposing team say few things hitch I'D
their trousers and lay for the next fell
low, who lines out a safe hit, ambIes
down to first, everybody knowing that he
is! safe, no chance being given to retire
him.
but not during an instant, until the
runner reaches first, is the interest re-
ieyed, when a man bunts ball. There
IS always Il chance that the fielder will
ne dDle 10 ndHule Inc Dal IN tlme and
the crowd is on the tip-tOe of excitement
until the man beats the ball to the bag.
Base hits are beautiful to look upon, but
bunting is the star point when viewed
from the scientific standpoint of base
ball"
1t is almost a certainty that Cornell,
Pennsylvania, Columbia, Wisconsin and
a Canadian crew will enter the Inte~-
Collegiate Rowing association again next
June. Cornell has already stated that it
will not row two different races over
two different courses, so it is evident it
will not row Yale and Harvard at New
London, unless the other races are de-
cided there too

When Arthur Poe of the Princeton
football team made his famous run OF
nlnety-tve yards against Yale last No
Yember and scored q touchdown, there
were a great many who spoke depreciat-
lngly of the play and declared that what
the little end rush had done was Il fiuke
pure and simple. This, however, was not
the sentiment of the majority, but for
the benefit of any who still harbor
doubts, the following paragraph from
the pen of Frank HalloweIl, Harvard's
greatest end, is printed:
1.-The ideal end rusher is strong, very
quick, and is a fast runner but he has
in addition the quality of perfect self
possession and of knowing what is hap
pening every second of the time. He is
able to judge quickly which of many
things he ought to do and then he does
this without losing track of what every
one else is doing. He has the faculty of
being just where he is wanted and of be-
ing in every play. When it is said that
an end follows the ball well, it is meant
place at the right time" That is just
where Poe was when the ball shot out
of the ScrimmagC.
Sporting men think that Tom Sharkey
is another John L. Sullivan and that he
will whip all of the heayies. Sharkey
wants to claim the championship since he
ueIeaIeu Mccoy, Out Sucn claim is rIQlc-
ulOus. EitzsimmOns holds the title and
has something to say about it. A battle
between these two should be arranged as
soon as possible and settle the question
as to who is the better man. Sharkey is
falling in line with the rest of the big
fellows since he defeated Mccoy He
states now that he wants q rest. This is
merely one of O'Rourke's schemes to
keep him before the public. The sailor
has not done such a great amount of
lighting that he must lay off, The Len
OK club has offered good purse for FitZ
and Tom and they had better get togeth-
er and not disgust the people with anoth-
er exhibition of paper fighting.
In Chicago the opinion prevails that
Catcher Chance, Second Baseman Con
nor and at least two pitchers will be re-
leased or disposed of to minor league
clubs. That makes Wolverton's chances
look good and it means that Mertes will
be made use of as utility man, as he
played shortstop fairly we'll last fall

Ban Johnson of the Western league to

hitWhen properly used is one of the scien-
tific features of the game. 1t is to base
ball what strategy is to war. The player
who can make bunt hit and get away
with it is not only entitled to a base hit,
