Base stealing Is one OF the accom-
plishments OF a ball player that re-
quire more than an ordinary amount
OF skill.
Speed, OF course, Is essential to the
good base runner, but il is not al
ways the fastest man that does the
most pilfering OF bases. The man
who uses his head and knows when
TO take advantage of his opportunities
frequently makes up for the lack OF
speed.

runners who were grand base steal.
ers. And | have known other play
ers who could run 100 yards in 10
ting caught when trying 10 steal a
base.
The base runner who signals that
he is going TO steal Is an easy man
to catch, fo- the catcher who Is wise
quickly realizes he is about TO go
down.
On the other hand. the base run
ner who watches the pitcher care
fully and takes advantage of the

break into the major leagues bring
their minor league tricks with them.
or OF some other motion that loees
time, will gain a step or two on the
faster runners. AS q general thing a
good base runner notes carefully the
foot OF the pitcher for some peculiar
ity that indicates he is about to de-
liver the ball.
To get a long lead on first Is es-
sential when q runner intends TO
steal second. A six-foot lead often
means a stolen base in the race be-
tween the runner and the ball thrown
by the backstop.
The clever runner keeps the pitch
or worried and frequently makes him
nervous.
The runner who can draw a throw
from the pitcher to first frequently
advances by reason OF a wild throw
or a muff by the first baseman. II
requires considerable skill to return
TO first from a long lead when the
pitcher whips the ball across the dia-
mond.
Base runners should keep an eye
ON the pitcher every minute. and

COULD COP FLAG
Hughie Jennings Believes They
Would Walk in Winners of ANY
Minor League Race.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 30.-Af-
ter watching most OF the Southern
and a bunch Of other league teams
at work, including one representative
of the American Association, Manager
Hugh jennings OF the Tigers has
come to the conclusion that the II
ger second team, now touring the .ar
west under Wild Bill Donovan, could
step In on any minor league In the
world and waltz away with a title.
Furthermore, Hughie Is willing to
wager that his second team can trim
the Yannigan outfit Of any OF the rival
big league clubs. Certainly II seems
to outclass by liberal margin the CSC
ond team OF the Chicago Cubs. which
the Tigers recently saw performing
at Memphis.
Hughie has great respect for the
batting ability OF his second team and
doesn't believe there are many ag-
gregations that have anything on
them In fielding either. Even their
pitchers. without Willett and Dono
van, are by no means to be sneezed
at. Works, Smith, Peasley and Lou
dell are all good beavers and, rein
forced by the discards from the first
teams stan. would be far In advance
OF the twlrlers OF the average first
class minor league aggregation.
AS for Lathers. Drake, Kirke, Ness,
Corcoran and the rest, they can hit
any sort OF pitching and get fat on
the minor-league article. BRUSKE.

Manager Jennings has now arranged
all the details Of the regular spring
elimination contest OF the Detroit
pitchers. Among the problems which
he 10 to solve are the following:
The choice Of a hurIer for the open
ING game.
The choice Of q left-hander, to be
retained for the entire season.
The elimination Of two or three Of
the following pitchers, Stroud, Works,
Lively, lafitte and Covlngton.
UNLESS RALPH WORKS PRO-
CEEDS TO PITCH THE MOST SEN
SATI0NAL SORT OF BALL FROM
NOW TO THE OPENING OF THE
SEASON, HE IS DOOMED. This
has simplifed Jennings problems
slightly. II also leaves with the sec
ond taem only two pitchers sure TO
be retained. These are, of course, the
veterans Donovan and Willett.
Jennings has ordered Willett to
leave the western team Immediately
after the game at Lincoln on Satur-
day. and TO come on post-haste to In
dianapolis. He should arrive In am

BURNS MAY Be
NEXT CHAMPION
California Lightweight Has Won
Friendship of Fans, Who Hope To
See Him Get Title.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 30
Frankie Burns OF California Is believ-
ed by many enthusiasts on the coast
to be the coming lightweight cham
pion. His bouts with owen Moran,
One-Round Hogan and Lew Powell
have established him firmly In the
hearts OF the fight fans ana they are
hoping that he will some day wear
the lightweight crown once worn by
that other Californian. Jimmy Britt.
Burns is well endowed with pluck
and Is very tractable SO far as corner
advice Is concerned. He Is rugged
fellow and a hard boy TO hurt. In ad-
dition he can punch with force far
above the average.
To attempt to describe Burns style
OF fighting would be difficult. He Is
one OF the most original men that
ever entered ring and he boxes no
two rounds alike. Part OF the time he
stands straight and hits out with
plenty OF dash and fine discrimination
He holds his own so we'll at this kind
OF work, In fact, that the wonder Is he
does not go In for more OF 1t. AT
other times he is all bent over, COW
cred up and peeking between his
crossed forearms at his opponent In
some rounds he goes in for mixed tao.
tics and keeps his opponent guessing.
Burns hackers have a great deal or
faith In his ability and say that some
day his name will be mentioned with
those OF such men as Jack McAuliffe,
of Cork; George Lavigne, the Saginaw,
Kid; FRANKIE Erne. OF Buffalo; Terry
McGovern. Of Brooklyn; Young Cor
bett, OF Denver; Joe Cans, OF Balti-

who have grased the

A good base runner always has q
slide or lodging motion which helps
him get around the second baseman
at the end OF his sprint.
Fielder Jones used TO slide around
the infielder In way that made him
extremely dificult to touch. With his
body on the ground he would shove
one foot onto the bag and get away
with a stolen base. often when the
fielder had the ball In time 70 retire
him, but for his cleverness.
Base stealing cannot be overesi'
mated as a value In winning games.
Many a tight game has been decided
by one stolen base. IL the runner
that gets on first can make his way
to the next station unaided, he is In a
position TO score on q long single.

running. Ty Cobb is as valuable to
the Detroit club because OF his won
derful base running ability as he Is
for his batting and fielding. He wins
as many games by his ability TO GET
around the bases as he does with his
batting.
Many players fail to make good on
the paths because they do not keep
track of the ball. They run blindly.

the ball is all of the time. but II Is
