Those who should know declare that

the face of specters of disaster. Until
recently he kept his worries secret.
Revelations of them to some of his

retirement because of illness, and The
Cubs who have played with Evers do
not expect him ever to be one of their
mainstays again.
The same fear is entertained by the

that he expected to throw his cane away

HOW TO PLAY THIRD BASE
BY NoRMAN (kID) ELBERFELD.

BY NORMAN CkID) ELBERFELD.
Whatever else I may be, 1 am not a
writer.
The task OF setting down, in cold, un-
elastic words. directions as to How to
Play Third Base is one which requires
a bolder assurance than mine. I have
been playing professional baseball for
over sixteen years. and in all that time
have not seen two third basemen who
played the position alike or who would
undertake to tell smother man how the
bag should be played.
Third base is, without doubt, the most
difficult position on the diamond. Batted
balls come fatser from right hand bats
men and bunts come slower from the left
hand hitters than anywhere else on the
infeld
A third baseman must possess a quick
eye and the ability to field. batted balls
and get them away to first or second in
stantly and without setting himself to
throw.
There is as much psychology as any
thing else in playing third base. You read
lot of rot in the sporting papers and
magazines about quick thinking and
guessing by third basemen. That is all
moonshine. The successful third base
man hasn't time to think.
OF course. this does not mean that a
third sacker does not have to possess
brains. He does, and brain and body
must be in such perfect tune that the
impression received by the eye is tele-
graphed to the brain and from the brain
to the nerves and muscles so instantly
that he acts with lightning-iike speed

some way what he is going to do.
Nearly every batter has certain little
tricks that give him away when he is

feet that proves the give away. With

NOTES OF THE CAMP.

Both of Atlanta's runs were due to
errors Clean fielding would have landed
the Nationals a shut-out.
Both teams will meet again some day
next week, when the Crackers claim
they will be avenged.
Manager McAleer plans to have the
diamond altered at National Park, Wash
ington, and has already written Presi-
dent Noyes his plans. 1t is understood
that more room will be gained for the
playing field.
Long John SomerIott is expected early
next week. and then will come the real
fight for first base.
Washington fans can figure on to-day's
lineup as being mighty close to the one
with which the club will start the Ameri-
can League season.
Bill Cunningham tore off pretty three
bagger in the sixth. Had heebeen in good
condition ne could have reached home on
the wallop.
After the game Tom Hughes declared
that his arm felt great and that
he would be able to go nine innings in a
few days.
Manager McAleer will next week have
the Regulars and Yannigans play nine
full innings instead of six.
IF they insist on our club coming home
the 1st of April and playing on some
other grounds. it will put the boys back
two weeks" stated Manager Jim tonight.

here in Atlanta until a day or so before

YANKEE REGULARS WIN.
Defeat Highlander Colts in Fast
Game, 8 to 4.

Athens, Ga, March 1S.-The Regulars

innings to-day and in the most business
like way the two teams have had, the
Regulars called a halt in the winning
streak of the second team. The score
was to 1, and in the first five innings
Warhop outpitched Ables in a close and
classy pitching controversy. Warhop
was on the mound for the Regulars, and
was the wiser and craftier manipulation
of the orb in the pinches.
Ragged and sometimes careless fielding
was done by the Regulars. but they
played a heady and good game at the
bat. wasting few hits. and getting them
with men on bases. Coordination at the
bat. in which Elliott, Bailey, Cree, Dan
iels, and Blair did most of the co-ordi
mating. was too strong a combination for
the Colts. Feature fielding plays by
Hartzell and Jube, and good hitting by
HartZell, kept the game from being one
sided. Hartzell is making a strong bid
for a place on the first team. Cree had
on his piIfering suit and stole four bases.
Russell kept up his hitting clip. One Of
his three wallops was a gift, because
nobody covered first on a grounder to
Knight, but the other two were clean.
Score:
