filings Elberfeld throws light speed. Jimmy Williams, on the other hand, throws heavy ball, though Williams is noticeably accurate. He can put the ball knee high nearly every time.
 Bill Bradley, the tall and rangy third baseman of the Clevelands, makes a lariat of his arm, throws with a swinging motion and has such a reach that he seems to be handing the ball to the first baseman. Few can equal him at the underhand toss needed to field bunt quickly. He is not one of the graceful ones, but a versatile thrower, the hand, as a rule, about on a level with the shoulder. His running mate, Terry Turner, also whirls his arm about considerably, but is more of an overland thrower than Bradley and makes more work of it. He is good at long distances, gets the ball away smartly after fielding it, and, like Dahlen, is quick at recover ing from a tumble. He is a strong, slashing thrower, who seems to put his whole soul into the action.
 Joe Tinker is another who might be described as an enthusiastic thr0Wer. He conveys the impression that he would rather throw than eat Every bit of him is mixed up in the throwing motion, some way or other, and he goes at the job with the gusto of a hungry man tackling hotemeal. He uses arm and shoulder, and also gets his body into the throw, sending the ball from high elevation and with feet in nice adjustment to give him the proper equilibrium. There is plen- ty of action in the throwing of Bobby Wallace of the St. Louis Browns, who, however, appears to have more con- trol over his movements, more finish than Tinker, The arm part of Wal lace's throw is of attractive proportion in it's swing and elevation, it being threerquarter throw, a compromise be- tween the side arm and the overland.
 The most violent thrOwer on the di- amond is Phil Lewis of the Brooklyns. The arm sweeps around to high above the shoulder, and it looks as il the thrower were about to tear his wing out by the roots. It is a rasping, jar ring procedure, every muscle tense ap- parently, much the same style of throw that Herman Long had-only more so. Another hard high arm thrower is Monte Cross, but his is not as tempestuous as the Lewis fling, Altizer of the Washingtons slams the ball over to first in much the same way, the arm raised high and being backed up by a shoulder heave.
 Arthur Devlin of the New Works, a very accurate and reliable throWer, gets the ball away without great deal of exertion. He skips it across with a side arm movement, the arm remaining for a moment in the air, as if like the eye were following the flight of the bali. There is a slight wrist motion, but not as much as Johhn Me- Graw, who had an easy movement but threw a fairly speedy ball, used to have. Frank Chance is another who takes it easy when he throws, the play of the shoulder with the arm being comparatively gentle, but so nicely balanced as to fake the ball travel fast. Fred Tenney's throw is more of ca push, the hand being on a level with the top of the head and the fore- arm and upper arm at right angles.
 Jimmy Casey gets the whole of his small body into his throws, but is very light on his feet when performing the function. There is nice poise about Tommy Leach's throws. From the moment Leach starts for a ground ball until he sends ie on it's way across the diamond every portion of his body is under control. His style Is finished and artistic, though lacking in the Collins polish, and the motion of pick ing up the ball is so smoothly merged into that of throwing that they look to be one.
 One of the swiftest and sharpest throwers is Hoelskoetter of the St Louis Cardinals. Steinfeldt has not much on him, Mcbride of the same team is pretty thrower, one of those who seem to put life into the ball. make it sentlent. Wid Conroy is good infeld thrower, always cool about it and getting the ball across without throwing fast, An interesting fact in connection with his throwing is that he does even better work in that line in the outfeld than in the inield He is a powerful distance thrower and with the increased distances of the outfield he gets better direction. number of his throws from the out field last season to the home plate and third base were conspicuously accu- ra+a and effective Nav York Sun
