cuted, and is therefore the logical one
to direct plays. He should be familiar
with the weak and strong points of the
other infielders, and quickly designate
the man who is to take high fly in
the diamond. Pitchers are VIGOROUSLY
poor fielders of sky scraplng lifts, while
the basemen and shortstop are in con-
slant training for emergencies of this
nature Therefore the first baseman,
if he be field captain, should imme-
diately call out the name of the player
he believes most certain to cling to the
ball. This will also prevent COLI
sions and misunderstanding, in which
event the ball drops safely between
two or more players, when any one of
them might easily have made the put
out with proper coaching.

With his own sack clear the task
of the first baseman becomes less Sc
r;ous. While the runner is on Sec
ond base the first baseman is free to
take his natural fielding position
which is 20 feet or more back and I'd
the right of the bag. There he is
ready for the popup, sharp drive. the
high foul or the elusive Texas lea
guer." He is also within from the in
field.
When there is one man out and a
runner on third the first baseman must
again change his fielding ground. With
others of the infield he moves into
the diamond prepared to scoop up a
slow going roller or fast bounder and
shoot it to the plate to head off run
Seeing that this attempt would be flu
tile he must play on the batter and
slam the ball to first, where the pitcher
will be on the job if he playing his
game as he should.
With two men out and runner on
second or third the baseball atmos-
phere around first base clears up. The
slogan is play for the batter" and
the base runners are permitted to take
unusual liberties in the way of leading
off the bags, their only fear being a
quick throw by the pitcher or a snap
toss by the catcher to nip them of
their guard.

There are many things that a clever
first baseman must be proficient in
besides his ability to gather in thrown
balls from every angle and position.
He must first be a good ground coverer
and an accurate thrower. Goodness,
quickness, the ability to take in diff
cult situations instanter and act with
lightning precision are most essential
to the player of this important posi-
ton.
When there are no men on bases the
first baseman has a comparatively easy
time of it. Still he must use fine judg-
ment in playing for the batter and
must watch every move of the man
with the club, anticipating a slow bunt
into his territory or playing back for a
hard smash. He must be ready for a
high foul in right or a pop up in the
diamond. He must remember the
dreaded Texas Lacquer the dinky
safe pop that sails just out of his reach
and fast enough to land as a single by
a fraction of a foot.
These bingo safeties usually slide of
the end of the bat and are as uneX-
pected to the batter as to the right
fielder or first baseman.

An intimate knowledge of the pitch
ers and catcher's secret signals is
not only factor, but an essential for
the first baseman. He must know long
before the play is started when the
pitcher is to slam the ball to first in
an effort to catch an overconfident or
careless runner. He must be able to
anticipate the throw through the sig
nal, usually given by the catcher, to
both pitcher and baseman at the same
time, and be ready to receive the ball.
He must know when the catcher is 60
ing to snap the ball to first. and then,
with lightning like swing, block the
runner before he can slide to the bag.

FIGHTING FOOD

BY WILL SABIN.
There's plenty to eat aboard the fleet,
They get the quantity;
But when ashore, they yearn for more,
And little variety.
There's beef and pork and beans and
bread.
And each man gets his whack,
But when a-land they stretch a hand
For fancy sort of snack.
What will you have?" says the gay
garcon,
"Oh, what shall server" says he.
"A dozen fried eggs and some fat
frogs legs"
Says, "and a pot of tea.
Also" says I, "some raspberry pie,
And a portion of robe der nwee.'"
Then his mate speaks up with Fetch
me a cup
"Of your Goldfish consom-may;
and a tenderloin-and here's the
coin!
"I's gent and I'm going to pay.
"Sea grub's good, but 1 like a change,
And l stuff when hit the shore
With a rare rib roast, a bit of toast
"And mess of spree der core"
There's bread and beef and pork and
beans,
And onions, spuds and hash,
But sailor lads and the gay marines,
When they come ashore, will dash
Will dash for dive where the shore
grub grows
And order a la carte
Eight eggs on toast, and a rare rib
toast;
Small black and big jam tart!"
Then here's to the boys with the appe-
tite,
The boys of the men-of-war!
The way they feed is the way they
fight
And they always ask for more!
Whether fight is the game, or grub the
same,
Too much is enough for me,
But the hungry men of the U. S. N.
Can never say when" you see.

captain of his team. He has an ex-

a large majority of the plays are exc
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-09-04

With a good fielding pitcher in the
box the first baseman's work is made
easier. When to field an infield rap
and when to let the pitcher field it is
situation that often requires quick
thought and execution. AS a general
rule, the pitcher should field the ball
while the first baseman is settling him
self for the catch. If. however, the
first baseman is playing inside the dia-
mond, anticipating a bunt, it is the
pitchers duty to scamper over to the
bag and allow the baseman to field the
ball if it is rolling in his direction. An
active second baseman will often run
over to first ahead of the pitcher and
get the putout.
When an opposing batsman reaches
the initial bag the real difficult work
of the first baseman begins. He then
has four men to keep eyes on at one
and the same time. He must watch
the runner like a duck eyes a June
bug He must make him cling as
closely to the bag as possible and be
ready at the same time to receive a
lightning throw from either pitcher or
catcher in the effort to trap his man
mapping. The man at bat must also
be under the closest scrutiny, and Mr..
First Baseman must be ready to field
his position even in the face of all his
other manifest and manifold duties.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-09-04

With none out and man on first
base it is natural to assume in most
cases that the batsman will make an
effort to sacrifice the runner to second
base. If the ball is chopped down
toward first the first haseman must go
after the sphere, while the pitcher COW
ers the bag. In the meantime the first
runner is logging it for the second bag
at a 10 second clip.
Here is where the first baseman's
brain must get busy. He is certain
of his man at first. but not so sure Of
getting the ball to second ahead of the
runner. He has not time for intricate
calculation, else he will lose both men.
If the runner has obtained a good start
on the bunt it is almost a certainty
that he will reach his goal before the
swiftest thrower can get the ball to
the bag. In this event both men would
be safe. Unless the first baseman is
reasonably sure of getting the out at
second he should not take the desper-
ate chance, but should either touch
the batsman out or toss the ball as
easily as possible to the pitcher, who
is waiting for the throw at first

TIE WOMAN WHO MAKES GOOD,

The woman who makes good must

She must work with all her heart;
play with all her heart; above all
things avoiding Indifference and the

must learn to talk, Dut not 10 leii'
There is an art-the most consum-

The woman who wins must be able
to hold all and hear all, yet betray II
by neither word nor look; by inJu-
dicious defense no more than by
overt treachery; by anger at ma
Hcious accusation no more than by
a smile at an egresious mistake. To
be able to do this requires a rare
combination of tact and self-respect'

Concerning N2anEers.

One of the worst faults to when
Young children are liable consists IN
interrupting the conversation OF
elder people. Another tendency
which brings the blush of shame TO
a mothers brow is that when
children have of contradicting the
statements of their elders. This is
so strong habit with many children
that it is only necessary for mother
to make a statement involving stalls
tics to elicit the ever ready "Oh, no;
# was only three times or only
two miles" Nor is it confined te
Young children, but is quite as com
mon, and much more shameIu
among grown boys and girls. II
taken in time, this should not bf
difficult to correct, but the first stel
must be on the part of the parent
who must take the greatest care u
be truthful.

In THE REALM OF THE CAR
Russians Laok Upon Christmas as
the Most Sacred and Nest
Celebrated Holiday.

ETadSFS4zSSET HRISTMAS is the most Sa-
MEAkI cred and most celebrated
"a K4NH holiday In Russia, Contrary
sasSS@StM to the custom III nearly al
other countries, Christmas
there always comes on Sunday, and
continuous celebration is held until
midnight on January 2.
The Russian believes in devout re-
ligious services in honor OF the birth
Of Christ, and each day during the
season each family, including all Its
members, attends church at least
once On Christmas morning the most
important services take place. Each
CONGREGATION marches solemnly to the
nearest river, which is always frozen
over, the ice being sometimes as much
as three feet thick.
After large hole has been chopped
in the ice the priest dips his cross In
the water and prayers are pronounced
after which the priest holds baptismal
exercises. Having been blessed by the
priest the water is considered to be
holy and as fast as the people can
file bv the hole IN the ice bottles of ali
sizes and descriptions are filled with
the water.
This water is priced the most high
ly of anything in the home, and bottles
Of it are sometimes found century
or more old. Some fanatics secure
large quantities of it and bathe in it
at regular intervals during the year.
There is one custom which many
Americans would cherish in their own
Christmas celebration, and especially
the young people. 1t is that OF kissing,
for on Christmas day every one steals
| a kiss from whcrsoover he meets. In
! some cases, and among the older peo-
pie, the hearty handshake is much
used, but the younger element cilngs
| closely to the old style.
Santa Claus is unknown to Russian
| children, but the "Babushka,' an old
woman witch, carrying a long stick
| and attired IN the usual witch COS
tune, visits the homes in every VII!
lage and city and distributes greetings
and then comes at night and leaves
