The double steal, with men on
first and third. is a play that is
mighty hard for the man on third
tot make successfully.
There is absolutely no chance for
the man on third to get across the
plate unless the runner at first goes
through with his end. Catchers al
ways bear in mind that when the
play is attempted. nine times out
of ten the opposition is trying to
score run, and act accordingly.
There are several ways the club
on the defense have of checkmating
the move. Sometimes either the
shortstop or second baseman will
cover the keystone position alone,
but more Often the shortstop takes
the bag, while the second sacker
will come in about 20 feet ahead OF
second to take the short throw.
II he sees the man at third start
for home he will grab the ball and
relay II to the plate. But If he sees
that the runner at third is staying
close to the bag. he will let the toss
30 through To the shortstop.
This Is where the man at first
must get In the game. II he stops

the opposition that he is not going
through with the play, it has plenty
of time to make sure the man at
third is not going home, and still
have ample opportunity to catch
him.
Then, again, the catcher may

who is led into this. trap, as there
is never chance for him to get
away from the twirler's relay to

There is still another method the
catcher may employ to ensnare his
man. This is by making good
bluff to throw the ball to second
enticing the runner to start for
home, and then quickly tossing the
ball to third.
It's a mighty tough place for a
base runner, and about the only
chance he has to get home is tc
have an error made by the opposi

chance and start home as soon as
the catcher makes move to gel

number of cases of eye strain ana

due to some eye trouble.
I'm a number of cases." said he,
''the condition could be traced d.
rectly to the fact that the subject

of driving at a high speed In many
other cases, the majority in fact,
the men never used automobiles
and their only travel was in the ele-
waited and subway trains. Some of

con talking with them about it |
discovered that the trouble was di-
rectly due to this cause. 1t is GER
tainly the only plausible explana-
ton.
Il am not in position to state
that moving pictures are harmful in
all cases, as ! have not collected
sufficient data for definite conclu-
sions. l can say, however, that the
strain on the eye from speeding in
an automobile does lead to nervous
arrangements and a lowered phys
ical tone.
This is due partly to the con-
slant strain and responsibility peo-
pie driving at high speed are UNI
der But much of it is due to eye
strain coming from watching fences
and trees and nearby objects fit
ting by at a rate of 60 miles an
hour.
"The rapid rate at which moving
pictures jiggle before the eyes,
coupled with the fact that the light
must necessarily be less than that
of daylight and the nearness of the
pictures 10 the spectator, produces
condition even worse for the eye
than speeding at 70 mile clip in a
car
Certainly such conditions are
not normal ones for the eyes. OF
course, when we come to that, the
extensive use of artificial illumina-
ton, reading at night and using the
eyes after dark in intricate pro-
cesses are not natural. Primitive
man did his work by daylight and
slept at night. And probably to the
fact that at night he had no electric
lights and no finely printed news
papers and books to read was due
the other fact that he could see
much better in the dark than the
average city man of today. AS 1t is
the countryman of today can get
around far better without light at
night than the city man.
This moving picture habi,,
which subjects the eyes to high
power illumination broken into in
stants of alternating light and
shade, certainly cannot be restful
and beneficial to the eyes. Person
ally, | find any long view of these
pictures very uncomfortable, and
know of many who complain thai
they produce unpleasant ocular sen
sations."

of Mordecai Brown, now famous
pitcher for the Cubs, is a woman.

years ago saw Brown when he

Smith, who was then and is now

pitching looks good to me- and,
although Smith was not quite sure,
he had always found his wife's
judgment in the selection of play

chance. Terre Haute only kept

Although England is sadly shy
of first class men in the middle,
welter and heavyweight classes,
the title little isle must fairly TEEN
with first class little fighters.
No country could desire better
ring representatives than Owen
Moran, Jem Driscoll and Freddy
Welsh. All three have demon
strated their ability to meet the
best men in their respective class
on this side, with honor to them
selves.
Welsh has given good account of
himself with Packy Mcfarland and
other lightweights, while his re-
cent defeat of Abe Attell, whom he
outboxed in a Is round mill, is a
feat to be proud of. Welsh is the
champion of England,
and is after the worlds title.
Moran proved his ability when
he met Attell at the featherweight
limit, and many who witnessed the
