The inielder has much more op-
portunity TO pull off inside plays than
the outfielder There are times, OF
course. when il is up TO the man In
the distant pasture TO make some
play that is out OF the ordinary and
show his knowledge OF the game. The
greatest plays come up on the in
field. however, and for this reason
a man may be invaluable TO team as
an infielder, because OF his quick
thinking, even II he cannot hit the
ball for a high average or even field

Is constantly figuring out what the
other team is trying TO do. and plan

The player who is not good In
side player nowadays Is not regarded
| as OF much account in the game as
played i'm the major leagues. and In
the more important OF the minor
leagues. where the game is very fast.
There are, OF course. some notable
examples OF players who are not re
garded as inside players, who are IN
valuable TO their teams. This IL true
because they are wonder full httters
or perhaps great felders.
As a general thing. however. the
/ player who does not play good in
side game does not last long. The
fellows who do not study the game
from every angle soon fall by the
wayside. Every young player should
make baseball as thorough a study
as the school boy does his subjects.

BASEBALL BOOMS
OVER COUNTRY
Pacific Coast League Opens Season
Tuesday, But Big Leagues Wont
Begin Until April IL.

NEW YORK, March 29.-Next
Tuesday will witness the start OF the
1911 season of professional baseball
games and before the diamonds are
abandoned next fall nearly 10000
regular league contests will have
been played. The Pacific Coast League
is the first to begin play and the last
TO close.
In the time now intervening before
the opening of the American and Ma
tional Leagues and the American As
ISOLATION season, all on April II, two
small Southern leagues-the Cotton
States and South Atlantic organiza-
tions-will swing into action April {
and April 10, respectively.
! In quick succession after the in
auguration of the big league races,
April u, the Southern, Eastern and
Western Leagues open, with the Gen.
trail League among the last OF the
bigger sectional leagues to get In mo
ton, April 20. The Ohio and Con-
necticut State Leagues start April 20,
and 81, respectively, and the New
York State and New England Leagues,
April "a.
The Michigan State League does
not begin TO play until May 20, and
il the last of the recognized leagues
to open BY that time, the country
over, there will be at least 80 pro-
fessional leagues in the field with
schedules calling from 300 TO 600
games each.
The collegiate season, less regular.
ly accounted for, already has begun
in the Southern tier of the Eastern
States. The schedules OF Eastern
colleges call for about 500 games be-
tween now and the latter part OF
June.
Yale has eight OF last years nine
left. including an experienced and
wellbalanced pitching staff. with
plenty Of new material. The Harvard
leftovers are only six, and among
the losses is Pitcher Hicks, whose
work OF last year will be hard to
equal.
Princeton is admittedly in serious
difficulties. Five OF last years play
ers have graduated, and the leading
pitcher, s. V. White, is suffering with
SO severe a wrench OF his throwing
arm and shoulder that he Will not
play In any OF the early games. Penn.
sylvania, with a nucleus OF four vet
Grams, bids fair TO turn out another
championship nine.
An unusual number OF tours IL
planned by college teams this year.
All records in this line will be broken
by Michigan by an invasion of both
the South and East. The Wolverines
will travel over 1000 miles. touring
Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio, and
visiting Princeton, Syracuse and
Brown. So far this is the only series
OF games in which the East will meet
any Western or Middle States college
An international turn will be given
collegiate baseball in May, when a
team of picked players from the Wa
soda and the Kelo Universities from
Japan will arrive In this country and
tour both the West and East, in re-
