throw if he tries to use both hands,
while by scooping the ball with the
left hand he can switch it to the
right and make quick throw while
still running and without losing his
balance. If he should be left
handed, so much the better.
A second baseman must be fast,
cool-headed, an accurate thrower
and not afraid to block base run
ner. With these qualifications. If
he can hit some and keep his feet
off bar rails. he ought to succeed.

GREAT LAJOLE TELLS SECRET
OF PLA YZNG THE SECOND SACK
BY NAPOLEON LAJoIE,

To become a star at second,
player must possess certain natural
qualifications.
Speed is absolutely necessary. A
second baseman must be able to
move around his territory rapidly.
Upon his speed. of course, depends
the amount Of ground he can cover.
The second baseman ought to
know the ways and the tricks OF
every batter, SO that he can play
for him."
He must study closely the art of
tagging baserunner and at the
same time escaping injury from
spikes. Putting the ball on the
runner Is one of the games fine
points, and cannot be practiced too
much by an infielder.

Certain clients OF Colonel Alexander

Judge for q ruling as to whether they

scrtbed fell within the exception OF the

pay the privilege tax scaled on the ba-
sis of the capital stock.
