] FooTWoRk AT FIRST.
Work for Feet as We'll as Hands for
 First Sack Guardian.

The position of first base and it's greatest requirement. is one which few regular baseball attendants seriously consider. They see the man hold out his nitt and catch the thrown ball and then yell because the runner of the opposing team is out. If the first base man has to reach high for the ball or pick it from the ground on what is known in baseball parlance as the short bounce," they yell louder See ing these things and appreciating such fast work a majority of them still fail to observe what is the keynote to suc- cess in player occupying that re- sopnsible position.
 Did it ever occur to the ordinary fan how often a base runner and the ball reach first base at the same time and how seldom the runner and the base man collide?
 Frequently both dash to the bag from different directions at the same time, and yet in professional baseball a collision between the two is a rare occurrence
 The secret of this is fast footwork, and unless a player is agile enough to shift from one foot to the other with lightning-like rapidity he can never become a good first baseman. He must catch the ball, touch bag, and then swing his body so as to avoid the swift moving runner who gets there, in many instances. almost at the same time.
 In other words, the first baseman must be as active on his feet as a prize fighter and must learn to shift either way without losing his balance.

Academy's l8 Runs Beat Windham

Windham High schools nine met its Waterloo Saturday afternoon in Windr ham field, Willimantic, in a game with Norwich Free Academy that was con- spicuous for its general all around ragged play dumb ball and uncalled for situations that were heartlessly disgusting. Norwich was bad, but Windham was rotten. All the flashes of team play that so favorably inn pressed the rooters "Wednesday after noon were absent and none on the nine seemed to have an inkling of what was expected of him.
 The first inning was a blank for both teams, but Norwich scored in her half of the second and Windham came back like sure winners in the last session Of the inning. and pushed three runs across the plate after two men were down on three bases on balls and single and two bagger. Norwich added three in each of the two follow ing innings and four more in the next succeeding one. Windham failed to score in the third and only got one in the fourth, but on a bunch of errors and a timely two bagger by Colburn netted six for the fifth which proved remainder of the game was all Nor wich. Features of the game were the excellent batting of Burns of Windham and P. Ricketts of Norwich and the woefully poor playing of both teams as a whole with the exception of Murray at third for Norwich, who accredited himself finely. A homer in the eighth by R. Ricketts scored two runs ahead of him. The tabulated summary shows the sad. sad story in all it's naturol punkiness:

FALLS OUTCLASs ROYAL GIANTS. Manager Casey's Team Wins by Big score-6ut Losers Wore Good Come dians

Manager Tom Casey's Falls team of the City league made an suspicious be- ginning on Saturday at the Norwich Town green when they defeated the Royal Giants, 30 to 3. The Giants got all their runs in the first inning and thereafter could do nothing, but they kept the crowd well entertained with their comedy stunts. Ben Houliha n S good showing in the box was the par ticular feature of the game. The fol- lowing was the lineup of the Falls:
 Falls-John Ryan c, Ben Houlfhan D, Pat Cox 1b, T. Casey 2b, J. Casey ss, M- Ryan 3b, A. Cormier If, T. Fields of. J. Smith If.
 Two new men signed by Manager Casey recently are expected to prove valuable additions to the Falls team They are Alfred Cormier and Jack Kane. Cormier has been made assist ant manager. He is an old hand at the game, having played at the Falls diamond for several years, generally as outfielder, which will be the position he will fill on the team this season Jack is counted upon to do his old reliable work in the box, holding up the pitch ing end in star form.

Simcox, the youthful pitcher of the All Stars, had the old hands on the Taftville team fooled, and was ably assisted by the stonewall defence put up by his infield in which Jackie Kane starred. Two good throws from left were among the features.
 Boucher pitched six innings during which the All Stars scored ' runs- He was then succeeded by Germain. Taftville showed a first class outfield in Bill McClaferty, Larowe and Ca ron, the last named showing grezt speed on the bases Their left hand ed shortstop was likewise a favorite with the crowd for his clever work. Lineups:
 Boucher, Germain D. Mur- phy, Emerson C. Thetreault 1b. Blan- chette 2b. Hoefer ss, Dugas 3b, La rome If. E. McCiafferty of, Caron If.

SATURDAY MARKETS. Speculation Was Repressed by Trade Uncertainty-SmaII Gains Lost.

New York, April 23-1o.10 a m.- Opening changes in prices of stocka were limited mostly to efeIths and quarters and transactions were very small. There was a rise of point in Pittsburg Coal and a decline of 5-3 in Republic Steel.
 II a. m.,There was no stock of fered at ruling prices, and brokers had to bid higher to fill orders, caus- ing a rise of about 1-2 in several prominent stoch1. Tho higher prices brought out more stock and there was a slight recession.
 CfOse--The market closed easy Speculation was repressed by trade un- certainty, anxiety over the position in the cotton market and a desire to await next Tuesdays dividend action in United States Steel Price move ments in the most prominent stocks were barely perceptible. The small gains of the first hour were partly or wholly lost in the second.

Manager Bill Miller's team on Sum- day played their last practice game before the season opens when they met Moriarty's Jewett City Independents.

 St. Germaine, a new pitcher. was given a trial by Miller and for his first game showed up well, and with perfect support no runs would have been scored. Miller has secured men to fill up the weak spots for the open ing game on next week. Score by inn ings:

 Catcher Pendleton caught nice ball for the West Ends. and the pitchers, Dynon and Burdick, worked well, but as the boys from the city were unable to straighten out Phillips benders. they got the short end of the score. The West Ends lined up as follows:

 New London. April 23.-F'or thirteen long innings Bulkeley and Morgan High school baseball team from Clin- ton battled at Cannonbau park this afternoon, and when the sun had set and the moon was rising above the clouds the hardy Chntonians had won by 4-3.
 On failure of the league umpire to materialize, both captains agreed on one of the alumnus of each school to umpire--Dowd of Clinton and Thomas Mckinley of New London. Both did we'll, although several times Dowd's decisions could be better. from a spec tators point of view.
 Left Fielder Taylor of Bu1lreIey was the sensation of the game. His six catches in the garden were of the hair raising kind. Rowe and Stevens pitch ed e0cellent1y, and Kirkland and F1ah- erty were stars behind the bat. Casey made three beautiful hits. The oth- CTS were always on their toes and played the game of their lives. The score.
