to give them a leverage for a start, just
as jumper will use weights in making
a broad leap. This matter of bat-drop-
ping is one of Importance and many
players devote hours to acquiring the
knack Of doing it properly.
In successful base running the player
who can go into the sack without d.
minishing his speed has big advantage
over his brethren who instinctively slow
down as they approach the station.
Many players who would be known as
speed kings on the bases are spoiled be-
cause of the fact that they are unable
to overcome the tendency to slow up.
These are the men who are ofttimes
called slow on bases. 1t is lack Of nerve
rather than lack of speed with the legs
that places the majority of ball players
in what might be termed the "average.-
base running class.

but the easy manner in which he dis

Morris has been in retirement for sew

ing him the fine points of the game. Con
Riley, his chief adviser, is of the opinion
that within year Morris will be able to
beat all the heavyweights But he be-
lieves in going slowly, so he arranged the
match with Schreck, who has long since
seen his best days.

knock Schreck out, and there is SO much
