FIRST BASEMEN
WILL KEEP JOBS

There is one position on the American
League teams the coming season which
will be filed by familiar faces. Aside
from vhe question Of whether Freeman
or Ungiaub will play bag No. in Wash
ington, there seems not to be the slightest
doubt that the same men who filled this
position on the teams last season will
again be on the job this year.
Chase is certain OF his place with New
York. That also holds good for Jake
Stahl at Boston, Donohue Ut Chicago.
Davis at Philadelphia. Jones at st. Louis.
Rossmau at Oct. oft and Stovall at Cleve-
land.
IanziS, the Red Sox's new man. Is said
TO DC q good player. but he will have to
80 some TO dispiace Stahl.
The same condition will not exist with
reference to any other position on the
teams and shows that the present crop
of first basemen is the best available. 1t
used to be that the manager of ball team
never gave first base much thought. After
all the other positions had been filled TO
his satisfaction. he would take whatever
was left and use it at first base. So long
as Z chap could catch thrown ball he
was thought capable of filling the place.
In the old days Charley Comiskey revo-
lutionized the system of play at that bag.
and not until Fred Tenney broke into
playing the position did it dawn upon
the base ball world that first base was a
rather important position after all.
Today as much attention Is given the
selection of player for that position
team must be well balanced to hold its
own.

Barn storming'' is sport and every
ball player who has had experience In

TO the coast a few years ago the clubs
were scheduled to play ct Cedar Rapids.

we got there and 1t was almost impos-

Early in the game some one hit
ground ball to Claude Ritchey. who was
covering the keystone position for the
National League club.
Rich can play bad bound good
as any one. but this ariv-. just a IT

him just above the eye.
Ritchey was blinded fer moment,

For Sunday Base Ball.

NEW YORK, March 2n.-Since the pas
sage of a bill legalizing Sunday base bali
games by the Indiana legislature plans
have been formulated for the Introduction
of similar measures in two other states.
At Harrisburg the Pennsylvania lesisla-
ture will soon consider bill legaliZing
Sunday games between the hours Of 3:3O
and $50 pm. and providing for scale
OF licenses from $50 to $500 according to
the size of the grounds. II Is said that
the new owners of the Philadelphia Ma
tional League Club. including several
state senator's. are behind the measure,
and that 1t stands an excellent chance to
become a law.
A bill legalizing ball games on the Sab
bath will be introduced In the New Jer-
sey legislature at Trenton shortly. 1t will
provide for fixed hours and may also call
for the payment of state tax on gate
receipts. Sunday games have been played
for several years in various Jersey towns.

and Elizabeth. without interruption. 1t is
reported that Jersey City and Trenton
politicians who are indirectly interested
In the national game will advocate the
proposed bill In New York state there Is
apparently no chance for q Sunday base

the amateur clubs have been fighting for
legislation at Albany for several years.

No Left-Handed Catchers.

Left-handed catchers seem to have
gone out Of style completely. About the
only one who ever did amount to much
as a backstop was Jack Clements. who
did such great work for the Phillies a
dozen years ago. He took on SO much
weight, however. that Philadelphia let
base ball career. as did Jack Stivetts. as
land in 1899. Jack gave up the job In
disgust along I'm June and returned TO his
home in Philadelphia, preferring to quit
altogether rather than play with a club
whose winning streak was always con-
fined to one consecutive game.
Fred Tenney was considered a wonder
full catcher when at Brown University.
He broke into the big league as a catcher.
going from Brown TO Boston as the re-
ceiving end Of the battery of Sexton and
Tenney. He failed to distinguish him
self as q catcher. though. and was called
uY.on to play first base one day when the
regular first sacker was hurt. He made
good at once. and has been playing first
ever since.
"Jiggs" Donahue is another who fell
down as a catcher. but has acquired fame
as a wonderful fielding first baseman-
Bill Armour had him catching for the
DAYTON team. Then McAleer gave him
trial at St. Louis in 1902. He was dis
NAL failure and was dropped to NIL
waukee Cantillon despared OF him
showing anything behind the plate and
stuck him on first base. At first he
looked like a bloomer. but he finally ac-
ouired confidence and became a star In
that position.

uncommon one. Plenty of northern ball
players become infected with that south
ern malaria dope during the spring train
ing stunts. And. once they get that ma
laria stuff into their systems, they're
wogg!ebugs for the rest OF the playing
season. If not for a considerably longer
period.
Again. the southern training trip is
an immensely and needlessly expensive
affair. II it were actually necessary the
expense Involved would not be any valid
consideration. But when 1t isn't at all
necessary. but. In my opinion and the
opinion OF wiser base ball men than
am, positively harmful. then the matter
of the expense OF the thing reasonably
becomes very decided and distinct con-
sideration.
Il wouldn't be in the least surprised to
see the southern training trips altogether
abandoned within the next two or three
years. When the players come back from
the south soon and start in to work, and
many of them find that they're all punk
ed up by the northern spring. there'l be
a hot renewal OF the anti-southern train
Ing thing. and i wouldn't be surprised to
see enough of the managers of both big
leagues go on record against the south
ern training business to cancel that stu.,
at an even earlier time than l am antic-
ipating."

Were Good Base Runners.

It is not always the fast man who
makes the best base runner. Ed Dele
hanty and big Bill' LANCE In the hey
day OF their careers were as good as the
best. 1t was not fieetness that made them
wonders on the paths.
Both were big men who had sliding
down to a science. and this. with the
fact that they. managed to get a lead and
took advantage OF their bulk TO intimi-
date basemen. made 1t next to impossible
for them to be caught.
Every pitcher has some popularity
which let's the runner know when he is
going to pitch. Once Lange or Delehanty
was wise to this they took advantage
OF ii.
When under Roadway these men kept
the man who was covering in view. and
whichever way he went for the throw
they slid the opposite way.
Both were big fellows. and whenever
the baseman refused them right Of way
they never hesitatcd to slide into him.
