ably you'd say about one chance in

crack pitcher on the mound and q
star catcher behind the plate. an aver
age runner has just about an even
chance TO steal second safely II the
ball is perfectly handled. Great base
runners like Cobb. Collins. Speaker,
Evers and Fred Clarke steal safely
about 20 per cent. OF the bases they
start for.
The reason more bases are noti
stole. says Fullerton. is because the
players no longer run wild on the
paths. In the old days n man who
reached first was practically sure to
attempt TO steal second. Nowadaysi

A little discussion arose in the Of

to how long it would take to run to
Toronto and return, a distance Of ap-

pies offered the suggestion that he
could do it in three days whereat sew

The 1910 report showed SAG days
