FIEL DING BUNTS BEST WAY
Y TO GET INTO GOOD SHAPE

There is only one fault to find
with this style of play, especially
from the fielding end Of it. The
hitter gets too strong once in a
while and if you are not on the job
every minute there is a swell
chance to get crippled with hot
drive.
Elmer Flick of the Maps can bunt
them for this infield stunt about as
good as anyone in the business, but
Gene" like all good hitters. loves
to take a good healthy swing at
one, once in a while. When Elmer
gets feeling "hitterish" it behooves
the fellow at the other end of the
game to keep a sharp watch on
what is going on.
One day last season Falkenberg
and other Maps were being ''enter-
tanned" by Flick. Elmer let drive
at the ball rather suddenly and the
way that pellet whistled by "Falk's"
ear was a shame.
In a minute Fred was on his way
to the bench. Just before he
reached this shaded spot Flick smil-
ingly inquired: whats the matter
Fred, too fast for your" 20, far
from that" came the quick reply,
"only | thought this was a game of
skill. not bravery"

There is probably nothing that
will so quickly get ball player in
condition as to put in about 20 min
utes every day fielding bunts. Its
remarkable how this little stunt
brings into play nearly every mus
Gle of the body and besides being a
fine exerciser is of great help to the
Finger in, mastering one of the
great essentials of his work, the
fielding of his position.
What makes it doubly beneficial
in the spring workouts, is the fact
that 1t always gives the pitcher
chance to easily throw the ball so
as not to put any strain on the arm.
1t is just the thing for the finger to
gradually work up to that stage
where he can stand the more aru-
oG duties later required.
Wis a common occurrence during
the playing season to see a couple
of the bold athletes taking some
fellow. who loves to hit, to one COR
ner of the field for game of field
ing bunts. Surely it is a great thing
for pitcher to be able to field his
position, and bearing this fact in
mind, easily explains why the twirl-
ers are always willing and ready to
put in about Is minutes of their
time every day in this manner.

he is still good initial sacker and

SPEED DEMON FOR BARNEY

Barney Oldfield, once more the
speed devil, with 35 worlds track
records to his credit for his 1909
work, takes the track this year with
the most powerful racer ever con-
structed.
Barney's new car, Benz, boasts
of 200 horsepower and is guaran-
teed to develop the unheard of
speed of 1877 miles an hour upon a
circular track.
It is doubtful If anyone but the
track king would attempt to drive
the monster. With it's torpedo
boat prov and sharp stern, the car
is calculated to offer the least pos
sible resistance to the wind. and
what will happen to track records
when Oldfield gets the giant car
good and hot can only be guessed.
Last year Barney piloted 49,
horsepower car of the same manu-
facture, but when Lewis Strang
beat him in several races he de-
termined to secure car capable of
going fast enough to win back the
honors captured by his rival. Now
he has the car, the automobile rae
ing world looks to him to win back
the position he held so long as the
unquestioned speed king of the race
tracks
The sight of Oldfield clipping off
miles around so seconds, a big
black cigar stuck in one corner of
his mouth, his hair streaming back
ward from the rush of the wind, is
a sight once seen never to be for
gotten.

The Giants have signed up a new
outfielder by the name of Lush. He
is a brother of William Lush, the
former major Lacquer.
A funny situation in the Miller

it comes to baseball. Nine out of
every ten Indians who reach a
minor league take to drink. He is
prone to quaff from the flowing
bowl when there is any flow to
quaff. He tries to hit homer off
everything old Splitter Drink sails

that it's better to place 'em, to

A good big man is better than a
good small man, is an axiom upon
which you can gamble the family
plate any old day in 1910. 1t was
particularly illustrated when Abe
Attell. the best in the world at 1872,
tried to beat Fred Welsh at 1873 and
just as clever. Able stayed the
fight out. but Welsh made him look
like a Ounce. At that there is
many wise man who believe that
Abe Attell shot his bolt months be-
fore he fought Fred Welsh.
