Americana, and with runners on the bases he has plenty of work to do. He handles more actual chances and has the longest throws. He cannot tumble a ball and throw any but the Slowest runners out. The sh0rtstop usually covers second when. a runner tries to steal second. Should the bat ter hit through to left field the left fielder can stop the runner from going to third base, while a runner can easily advance from first to third on ball batted into right field. Consequently the second baseman isn't called upon to cover second base very often; he is left to plug the right side4 of the diamond.
 The shortstop usually plays deep thus making all his throws longer, and most of his throws are hurried Balls hit between third and short are hardest to handle, because the shortstop can not run at top speed for the ball, for, if he did he could not possibly stop and throw. He must judge the speed of the ball and slide to it. so to speak, so that the instant he reaches the ball by his spikes.
 More than any other player the shortstop needs a good throwing arm. In fact, the work of a shortstop is the work of the whole infield combined into one position He has to make the same plays as all the other infielders and a little bit more. AS the position requires more fielding ability than any other position, a good shortstop will retain his place for years even though he isn't much of batter.
 A glance at the rosters of each ma jor league team will prove this. With few exceptions the shortstop is signed for his ability to field. l do not mean a poor hitter can hold the position, but a fair batter with exceptional fielding skill will be retained in pref erence to a good batter who cannot field. Summed up. the outfelders and first and.second basemen must be good batsmen, while the third basenan and particularly the shortstop must be good fielders to hold their positions.

NUTMEG LED IN EATERS,
 N. E. IN PITCHERS
How the Two Leagues Compare on
 Speed.

~ The New England league last season apparently did not have the batters that the Connecticut league had. There were only two men in the .30O class, Burkett of Worcester, 1888 for 3S games, aand Wallace of Lynn, .312 for S3 games. Pop Foster of Holyoke led the Connecticut league batsmen with .342 and there were eight more in this league who hit above 300. These figures are taken from the of ficial records" which are as good as anything, but not necessarily correct. It must be assumed that there were personal errors in scoring in the two leagues and that the batsmen in one league might have suffered or profted by the scoring of different set of chroniclers. However, the figures hint at something, and that may be right, too. The Connecticut league looks the better in batting and fielding for 1910, the figures showing a league batting mark of .239 for our league. .233 for the other league: and for fielding the Connecticut league was .94S as against
 947 for the New England.
 There were some nifty pitchers in the Connections league last season and they were not always with the clubs that could make the most of their good work. Many man worth bet ter. record was with sleeping nine and his record suffered. However, making all allowances for the Con- necticut league. the other league

Boston will again be the center of attraction to those interested in the science and sport of aviation and aero nautics next Feb goth to 26th, during the progress of the second national ex- hibition of aerial craft at Mechanics building. The first national aero show held in Boston in 1910 was considered exceptionally successful for a new ven- ture. from the standpoint of the visit ing public who were interested. and was powerful underlying factor in creating the interest that made the great Harvard Boston aero meet such a success. It is thought that the available floor space will be insuf1 1cient to accommodate all the aerial craft of successful model that there will be to exhibit, and arrangements will prob ably be made to suspend some from the ceiling.
