Ned Merton ON Baseball
VII. THE TASK OF FIELDING
THE "THIRD READER BOY" EXPLAINS THE SPORT
BY Schaefer.

Fielding is the art of gambolingl
on the greensward with such PROV
ess as to achieve the discontinue
of those who would accomplish a
circuit of the pillow shams.
Only nine men take part in the
fielding, although If those who are
seen lettering on the benches were
placed here and there in front of
the batsman, they would comprise
a phalanx that no base hit could
penetrate or pierce. But suppose
the managers know best.
The object of fielding lis to oblit-
crate three men in one inning.
More Is not permitted. But three,
sometimes, is quite a feat to per-
form.
The idea or purpose is to do
this with infinite dexterity. II you
do not have infinite dexterity, by
all means order some at the chem
lists. 1t will be found in the gin
ger jar on the right hand shelf
as you enter, third from the Tinct.
Arnica.
Fleetness, judgment and ambi-
ton, qualities not oyerburdening
the generality of players, will be
found of value in the practice of
fielding. But If you are destitute
of either wit or genius you might
as well be a poet or a magazine
contributor or first basemen
whose release is waiting for him
at the office.
Wherever a man is stationed,
whether it be in center meadow
mid the dandelion and clover or
at brief cessation sometimes call
ed shortstop), he must endeavor
to grapple with the ball when it is
hit or thrown, and perform or as
sist in the obsequies of one who
would place numerals on the score
board instead of rotund ciphers. In
such a case a man who Is seen toI
tumble the ball or disregard 1t Is
deemed a lobster or crustacean
who should be wheeling a push
cart instead of having his likeness
in the newspapers. II you are
playing in large league and de-
sire to become proficient in the art
be SO good as to attend a game
some day and learn how it is done.
'Twere we'll to know.
A fielder, or any ball player
who is called upon to field, should
study not only the virtues but al
so the weaknesses of the other
players, instead of devoting all re-
search off the field to the science
of pinochle. Shakespeare, the
greatest playwright, used to prac-
tice his plays. What right has a
ball player to consider himself su-
perior to Shakespeare.
Yet. there are moments when
one player cannot do herculean,
tasks. For example, it is out of
the question for the third baseman
to cover right field. 1t is hardly
to be expected of him. But he
must, unless he wants me to be
very provoked at him, welcome ev-
ery chance. to retire the opposing
side. I, like others, wish to see
both teams play in the same in
ming. 1t becomes monotonous
when there are no "outs" for a
Hong time. l pay my shilling to
see an out made now and then.
