One of the hardest things a base
man is called upon to do. in the
duties of his position, is that of put
ting the ball on the base runner. To
the spectator this looks like the
simplest of tasks. In fact, hardly
one of 10 who attend ball games
regularly seem to appreciate the
difficulty of it.
1t is especially hard where the
ball and base runner get to the bag
at about the same time. If the
throw and the runner happen to be
coming in the same direction, it is
so much more difficult. For in
stance: There is a runner on first
and the batter drives a safe one to
center field. The man on the paths
tries TO reach third on the hit. and
consequently. when the Outfielder
makes the peg. the runner is al
ways between the third baseman
and the ball.
If the throw is true it's a cinch
the ball will not be very far from
the runner, and if they get to the
bag at the same time it can easily
be seen that the third sacker is go
ing to have his troubles getting the
toss, let alone touching his man.
Right here is where the third
sacker has chance to pull off a
stunt that invariably goes by I'M

ton to test his mettle in Competi-
tioE with the hero of the Olympic
team.
Homer would be handicapped to
some extent because of his work
here" said Fitzpatrick. I'VE spe-
cialiZe in two or three events from
now on, and after the university
closes there would be but a short
time to prepare him for other con-
tests"
In the all-around competition the
events are the 100 yard dash, 100
yard hurdle, shot put. high and
broad jumps, pole vault, hammer
throw, sc pound weight, half nile
walk and mile run.
In the first three events HorneC
is considered to have the edge q
Sheridan. The local man is fair
ly good jumper and an ordinary
vaulter, although Fitzpatrick be-
lieves he can outvault Sheridan.
Horner will toss the weights for
Michigan this year and will be in
splendid shape for Sheridan's long
suit. The events which will bother
him are the mile run and the So
pound weight. He has never com.
peted in walking match nor die
lance running.
Fitzpatrick wants to send Horn
er against Sheridan, and as his
parting work at Michigan would
love to see his protege win.

CHAMPION BILL|ARD|STS
TO SHOW IN SPOKANE

Willie Hoppe and Ora Morning
star, the worlds champion billiard
lists, will appear in Spokane on
April s and 9 in an 500 or I00o
point series of games at the 1872
balk line game. The cracks will
play at the Spokane Amateur Ath-
letic club.
Charles Tennes, manager for the
billiard luminaries, completed ar
engagements with Otto Nierdorfer,
club billiard instructor, and the S.
A. A. c. officials, last night,
whereby the champions will ap-
pear in four-game series at the
club, two afternoons and two even
ings.
This will be by far the biggest
billiard event in the history of Spo-
kane as Hoppe is the worlds cham
pion, and Morningstar a keen con-
tender for the title. AS soon as
the news leaked out last night,
local billiardists were in a fever of
excitement, many applying for re-
servations at the entire series of
games.
