John McGraw. New York Giant
is known as a good
judge of ball players. McGraw
thought SO well Of this youngster
pitcher of the Dallas,
Tex, team in the Texas league
that he paid Joe Gardner $500
for him. McGraw got Drucke
from Dallas last year and shontz
promises to be as good as Drucke.
Pitching this season for a team
that really hasn't any too much
class. Shontz has gone in and
worked overtime and gotten away
with a big majority of his games.
Shontz stands about six feet in
his stocking feet, weighs about
100 pounds in condition. and was
badly wanted by Connie Mack,
Gardner beat Mack to the young
ster and Shontz said he was glad
|of 1t, as he felt that season OF
two in minor league company
would increase his chances OF
sticking up In the big show when
he finally landed there. And he
also was confident he would land
there. Shontz graduated from
Wooster university and is native
|of Ohio. shontz joins the Giants
after the close Of the Texas league
season.

Ned Merton ON Baseball
THE "TfIRD READER BOY" EXPLAINS THE SPORT.
BY Fred Schaefer.
BY Fred schaefer.

To hit the ball in q contest of
skill on the diamond is not so SIM
pie as 1t seems. The striker must
not make any INSTRUMENTATION. The
finger, If he dares, will toss the
sphere seldom where the most
fastidious would wish, and this
proves very annoying to one who
would win glossy .laurels as run
acquirer.
Often persons essay to assault
the ball and fail wofully, wishing
they had done differently. 1t is
not pleasant to be outwitted bya
coarse, uncultured pitcher, even
If he earns larger stipend than
oneself. To agitate thes natmos- ]
phere to no purpose is called strik-
ing out. When this hapens To-
one, the temptation is great to
snub the. offending twirler when
next weomeet him socially in tho
billiard parlor and he asks us for
q chew of finecut. i'a 81
In order to be hailed with ac-l
claim when approaching the plat

sess a reputation for shifting tho
globule frequently and oft, with a
past performance of "bingles," a.

can not explain by any rule of ety.

to prosper as batsmtn. III one
wishes to hit to middle field s6ne
must drive the bali in that idirec-
ton. and vice versa. Another
1thing-always wait until the ball
reaches you before knocking 1t
anywhere. Sver so many distress
ing mistakes have been made. by
some of our players by hitting the
ball when 1t has not yet arrived.
1t provokes derision. When. you
have the sphere near the end of
your bat and fair in tho center,
let go at it violently, and you may
cleanse the bases. '--
All, once or twice I have wit
messed contests in which this was
done so numerously that, the pur-
suit of the ball all over the. prem
ises was SO Injurious to the grass
that the groundkeeper despaired of
having nice lawn for his BARNS
to play numblepeg on.
The number of balls struck often
determines the victory, leaving out
fouls or false hits that are void.
This should be remembered.
There are other things that
count in the contest. The twirler
may distribute princely gifts of
bases on balls, If not suppressed by
his miserly owner. Or, a base may
be obtained by being hit WITH the
ball. This is not so enjoyable.
Once 1 was attempting to secure a
home run by knocking the ball
ever so far, when the hurler waited

the plate with the batter and
beats 1t for the edge of the dia-
mond, fronting whatever part of

plate, while Tinker, taking more
time, times his sprint SO as to

"Come on in; run there you
fellows: go 1T kid, rattle your
pegs; hurry up Bassey; make it a
homer, make 1t homer, whoop!"I
and as little Bessey leaped over
the plate with eyes bullying and
hair flying thousand fans stood
on the benches and kicked their
heels together and howled and
Rugged each other, for defeat was
turned into victory by the greatest
batting feat ever seen on the To-
cal grounds, yesterday afternoon.
1t was in the seventh inning.
Vancouver had already won the
game in the estimation of most
people. A lot of fans left the
grounds thinking 1t was all over
for the score stood to 1 and,
Vancouver was going nicely.
Bessey's Great Homer.
Then in the lucky seventh War
rem flew out to start with. That
did not look good, but Mott got
hit to left. Rockenfield got
another; then Jensen pumped Ste
vens in the back and he took his
base. The sacks were all full.
The fans Thought how niceFit
would be If Sassy, who was strid-
ing to the plate with his club,
should duplicate the trick Of War
rem and Sharnweber. who had al
ready made homers earlier in the
game, but no one expected such
luck. But Bassey did. He landed
ON that ball and away it went over
the center fielder's head and then
came the clatter of feet and the
explosion.
Fans Throw Money.
The score was tied, Vancouver
was demoralized and in the next
timing three-bagger by Hall and
another by Warren clinched the
victory.
So jubilant were the fans that
they emptied their pockets of loose
change and Bassey got hatful of
cash for his great feat.
lansing Badly Hurt.
Tacoma had bad luck in the
game too, however, early in the
day. lansing in making a throw
trying to complete a double play
dislocated his knee. He tried to
keep on playing and in the next
play went down and ruptured the
tendons of his arm also. He will
hardly play again this season, I'M
less the injury heals faster than
such cases generally do.
The victory makes it three
straight for Tacoma over the
league leaders and puts them up
into the 800 list again. Score:

on the throw being wild, the out
fielder relays it to King. known
as the most accurate thrower the
game has. who in turn whips it
home to Evers covering the plate.
Tinker, after performing his part
of the play, which it to slow the
runner coming home by crossing
directly in front of him, but not
blocking him, backs up Evers on
the throw.
1t sounds difficult, but the
