Cardinals Center Gardener Gives
Reasons for Staying in Close.

Rebel Cakes of the Cardinals is
playing the shortest centerfeld of any
middle gardener in major league base
ball. The Cardinal center fielder has
some excellent reasons for playing in
close. He says: I've accepted more
chances than any other center fielder
in the game this year. The fielding
averages VIII prove it I expect to
close the season, with record of hav-
ing accepted over 100 more chances
than any other outfelder in the game.
l get 'em by laying in close to the
shortstop and second baseman. OF
course, I don't play every batsman
alike. I know the long hitters and 1
know the balls they are going to hit
hard. A hard-hitting right handed
batsman figures to pull the ball to deep
left if he gets good grip on it, and
hard-hitting left-handed sticker will
pull 1T hard to the right, if he meets
on the seam. Few batsmen smash
ball hard to the middle field. They
either hit to right center or left cen
ter.
My idea is to pull the left and right
fielders away from the foul lines and
have them work in left center and
right center. That gives the middle
man chance to get the liners and
Texas leaguers in short center. I've
nailed a whole bunch of them this
year. Bresnahan will tell you that it's
the right kind of a ball. Once in a
great while some batter will fool me
and knock the ball over my head. 1t
never happens with pitcher like
Sallee or Harmon in the box. They
have control and signal the men be-
hind what's going over the plate I
know enough about big league ball to
do the rest Sal can make seven out
of ten batsmen hit to certain fields.
Occasionally some batsman will fool
him. Of course. that's part of the luck
of baseball.
AS rule, we always know what
kind of ball Sal is going to serve,
and generally know in what direction
the Eastman will drive it if he is
lucky enough to connect with the
sphere. That's one of the principal
reasons why Sal and Harmon have
been SO successful this year. Harmon
has got SO he can tell US in advance
where he is going to stick it, and
then turn in and place the ball there.
Jimmy Sheckard of Chicago is my
ideal outfielder," continued Cakes. 'I
think the veteran Chicago left fielder
is the king of them all They tell me
that Holman has on it on Sheckard
handling grass cutters. and that the
secret of Artie's skill in~that direc-
ton is the training he got playing the
er and his skill handling ground balls
makes him exceedingly valuable to
the Chicago Cubs. For the real thing
in outfelding, however, I'll take
Sheckard. I think he is the most styl-
ish workman of them all. He makes
hard catches look easy, always plays
exactly right for hiss man and gets
everything possible that goes out his
way.
Ball players will tell you that
Sheckard is the dandy of them all. He
gets balls that no other man would get

snow, hills, icy going, or long runs
the automobile shows to great advan~
tage over the horse.
The comfort and convenience OF the
fireman is not a small matter. Where
horses are, flies, fleas and MOSQUITOES
are also. and as a fireman cannot -
hampered with screens, this phase Of
freman's life is worth consideration.
One of the biggest fires in Springfield
for years got under Roadway before
it was discovered and a general alarm
sent in. The horses that should have
arrived first were delayed some min
utes by the slipping and falling bf one
on the icy pavements. The auto was
on the scene and had water on the
fire before any of the apparatus from
the nearest houses arrived, though
twice as far away.
In Springfield, they have had exper-
ience and are strongly in favor Of mo-
tor driven fire apparatus.
According to figures compiled by in
tercsted persons, mora than 1yz0o
horses died in New York city In II
period early In the month. One pack
ing concern is said to have suffered q
loss of $4,000 in horsef1esh and Q
second gives $4,000 as its quota. Es-
timating each horse at $3.50. which
certainly is q conservative figure the
5000. 900 in eleven days.
OF course, the recent hot weather
was somewhat unprecedented. but no
summer passes without at least one
or more heated terms, ranging from
two to four days each. When human
beings are dropping from exhaustion
in ever increasing numbers, the en-
ployment of horses for hauling heavy
loads seems actually crime parttc-
ularly when It has been demonstrated
that weather conditions haze abso-
lutely no control over business in
which the internal combustion engine
is utilized.
One phase of the situation was
brought out very forcibly. Ice COM
panfes, compelled to rely. entirely up
on horse drawn equipment, were Ut
terly unable to supply the needs Of
suffering humanity even in places far
removed from the more congested cit
les. Inasmuch as the protracted heat
term is the iceman's opportunity. IL
should have little difficulty IN turning
the recent hot wave to good account.
Basing the estimate upon the figures
obtainable in New York city, Il 10
probable that more than 31,000,0eo in
horses was lost in America during the
II days above mentioned tt needs
very little computing to discover how
far this money would have gone to-
ward the purchase Of reliable motor
trucks, which would have felt no ef-
fects from the heat whatever. Incl
dentalIy, those compelled to operate
the self propelled vehicles would have
found their own efficiency greatly in
creased.-Automobil Journal.
