HOW |NF|ELDERs
HURL HORSEH|DE
SOME PLAYERS TIME THEIR
THROWS WHILE OTHERS CUT
LOOSE FOR KEEPS.
AS Many Kinds of ThroWers as There
Are Players, But All Act With
a Single Purpose.

There are as many kinds of throw
ers as there are ball players easy
grac eful, awkward, strong, deliberate,
fast-snap thrOwers, long-swing throw
ers-but whatever may be the style OF
the different infielders in the profeS
sional 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 a pretty thrower. He lets go
with a side-arm and rather ungainly
motion, but he is one of the most re-
liable throwers in the big leagues. He
doesn't seem to care whether he gets
the ball to first base in time or not
Whether the runner be fast or slow,
Bill doesn't seem to hurry. His throws
look like lazy lobs, but in reality
Dahlen is an excellent judge of dis
lance, and times his throws with won
derfUl exactness.
