Frayne did a lot of roughing, but

his credit None Of the blows Of the

DIFFER
IN THEIR THROWING

There are as many kinds of throwers
as there are ball players-easy grace
full. awkward. strong, deliberate. fast
snap throwers, long swing throwers-
but whatever may be the styles of diff
ferent infielders in the professional
ranks, they, one and all, have the same
purpose in view, to get the ball to
the base ahead Of the runner.
There's Bill Dahlen, for instance.
He is not pretty thrower. He let's
go with side-arm and rather un-
calmly motion, but he is one of the
most reliable throwers of the big
leagues. Dalen is an excellent Judge
Of distance, and sometimes he throws
with wonderful exactness.
When 1t comes to a thrower whose
method Is a treat to the eye for its
grace, Harry Steinfeldt, the third base
man of the worlds champions, in an
accomplished actor He has a power
full arm. while he makes his share
Of wild throws there is beautiful har-
moni2ing OF lift and speed to his filings.
He Is the prettiest thrower from the
third corner we have seen since Billie
Nast's time.
There Is no more wonderful thrower
In either league than Capt. Mike Doo-
lin of the phillies. Doolin is one of
the hardest throwers in the game and
one Of the truest. His ability TO throw
from any position Is his strong point
however. and his skill in locating first
base without Strengthening up to make
the throw. or apparently looking where
he is throwing has stamped him as a.
marvel.
