BY BOB GANLET,
Fmmsr National outasldsr.

Outhelding, like every other branch OF
baseball, has been advanced from g sci
entidc standpoint by the kind OF players
who are always trying to find better and
surer means OF making plays and who are
never satisfied with following the beaten
path.
OF course. they are not able to keep a
monopoly Of the good things they pull
over, for other fellows are also watching
10 pick up a few points from a star, and
the piece of information soon becomes
general property and everybody Is imitat-
ing the man who first caught the idea.
II used 10 be that ar outfelder walked
20 his place and anchored
He wore bare spot In the grass from
standing always IN the one spot lie never
moved around for the different batters.
He wasn't under way tin the ball was hit
That kind OF outhelder wouldn't last
two weeks in the big show nowadays. He
would be chased IN short order
This doesn't mean that they didn't have
great outhelders in the old days.
According TO the opinion Of all the ex-
perts. men like Jimmy Fogarty, Curt
Welch. Jimmy McAieer. Bill Lange. and
Nike Griffin have never been equaled in
the history Of baseball But they were
the exceptional individuals
What ! mean 10 say is that the three
outheIders now have a better understand
ing Of how 10 cover all the ground They
work together better. and II is much
harder 10 drop ban safely between them
than II used 10 be- And as IL IS making
hits harder to get that determines the
value OF an outfeld, give the credit 70

II IS the purpose OF this little advance

that he ought 10 learn the fine points Of
the OUt-garden work II ne has il from
the start, II viii be easy for him TO make
his way as he gets along in the game and
begins TO aspire 10 the big teams.
There is no player who needs what is
called form 50 much as an outhelder A
skilled manager can tell in a minute
whether a man Is a natural judge OF a fly
bali and whether he has the stun OF
which a good outdelder Is made.

Chairman Frank B. Hover. Of the
A. A. A contest board, was interviewed
in New York yesterday concerning the
Glidden tour. which starts from De-
troit on July z. and for which entries
are stiIl being sent in. Mr. Hover said:
There has been some criticism by
those who have entered the tour. Of the
manufacturers who are staying out and
some OF II has been unduly harsh. rela-
tive to the caution shown IN not expos
ing good selling cars 70 such a severe
test as the tour is expected 10 be this
year. x has been said that a maker
who IS selling his output without effort
this year, would be foolish 10 take the
chances OF its not standing Up well on
a long tour under the severe rules Of
this year. This may be true, perhaps,
In fact one manufacturer has frankly
said 70 me that he would not enter be-
cause he knew his car could not make
a perfect score. and as he was selling
al he could make, he did not care TO
have the car shown up to disadvantage.
This related TO one Of the high grade
cars. too, and It has been said that
