HOWTOPLAYT THIRD
Steinfeldt, Cub Veteran, Gives
a Lecture on Subject.
One of the Best Himself, His
Hints Are Valuable.
MUST THINK QUICKLY.
Versatility Imperative Because
of Batsmen's Tricks.
A Powerful Arm lis Necessary
for Long Pegs.

One Of the Oldest and most expert
enced third basemen in the major
league is Steinfeldt of the Chicago
Cubs. Although he may not be a reg
,llar after this year, for the reason that
he seemed to be losing his grip last fall
in the worlds series Steinfeldt knows
how to explain the intricacies of play
at his corner of the diamond, and when
asked recently to give his views ne
said:
THE first thing a third baseman
must have to be successful is good
pair of hands. By this I mean hands
that can stop heavy line drives and hot
ground balls. The drives on the ground
from the batsmen down the third base
line between the fielder and the bag
are the most difficult ones to handle,
while the liners always have an out
ward curve and lots of momentum be-
cause the hitters usually meet a
curved ball before the break or slam
slow one.
1.-The third baseman must have nerve
as well as powerful hands, together
with a strong throwing arm. If his
hands are soft some of these solid
smashes may go through and injure
him. He must be heavy enough and
have sufficient stamina to get in the
way of such drives and must be Suf-
ficiently steady on his pins to prevent
base runners rounding the bag from
knocking him off his balance.
Good Arm a Requisite.
"Tf he doesn't possess a powerful
throwing arm he will not remain a
regular for any great length of time,
for the reason that he must knock
down hot drives and get them over to
first ahead of fast base runners. You
can't expect a third baSeman to pick
up cleanly as many drives as a second
- q
amount of time to get set and is in a
far different position. He is much
nearer the home plate md is directly
in the range of cannon shots that are
pulled around toward him by the bats
mems swing.
at is out of the question to fan back
behind the base line unless a third
baseman knows the hitter isn't going
to bunt, something that cannot be an
ticfpated in a. modern ball game. 1t is
necessary to watch the batsman, ba1e
runners and coaches very closely to get
onto a signal before the ball leaves the
pitchers hand. He must also keep an
eye on his own battery to know what
kind of a ball is to be served to the
batsman. The moment he sees a bunt-
ed ball rolling in his direction he must
come in at top speed and field it to
first base as quickly as possible. IN
many instances he must make hasty
throw and trust to luck.
1.-THE ability of batsmen to either
hunt or poke a ball toward left field
has increased the difficulties of third
base play. 1t is seldom that a third
baseman can stand back as far as &c
feet from the home plate and in a ma
jority Of plays he must take a position
at least so feet from the hitter, where
he is always taking desperate chances
This makes it hard for him to cover
any great amount of ground, as he has
little or no time to move in either d.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1911-03-08

For this reason the study of bats
men becomes an important factor and
all third basemen to be successful
should watch the hitters and signals
closely. Ny advice is to try to discover
what kind of a ball the pitcher intends
to deliver. Always keep an eye on the
catcher when runners are on second or
third, because a steal may draw
throw at any moment, and third
baseman who misses a thrown bah
generally let's in a run. Never fail to
cover the base when runner slides
into It and, if possible, keep the runner
wide as he rounds the base. Sometimes
a slight bump by the baseman Will
make runner go out Of his path and
thereby lose enough ground to be
caught at the plate when he tries to
score from second on a safe hit.
IT am not an advocate of foul tactics
Or rough ball, but think 1t is legal to
hold as much territory as the rules
permit and to prevent a base runner
from cutting across inside Of the bag"

CARDINALS "FTGHTTNG" WATER
A New Beverage But Bresnahan Says
Take II.

West Baden, Ind, March 8.-With
Lengthy Loudermilk, the human
pennant pole, leading, Roger Bresna-
han and his cardinal squad invaded
this place and at once began an attack
on the water. From what was done
today and what Chief Roger said this
is the main object of the trip here,
and warfare on the water is to be to
the bitter end In fact, the natives
are beginning to entertain fears that
what has made this place famous from
one end of this country to the other,
the health-giving water from the
springs, will prove inadequate to sup
ply Bresnahan's thirsty crowd with all
that it can absorb.
Bresnahans orders today were for
everyone in the party, including war
correspondents, to begin getting the
water inside, and he not only set
a good example by diSposing of a
quantity somewhat lescs than a hogs
head himself, but stayed around to see
that the others followed his example.
Most of the men have been here be-
fore, and they showed that they were
well broken in by downing the stuff
as though they like it. The others
tried to look cheerful, but made wry
faces when the boss was not looking.
Then they were consoled by the cheer
full information that they would get
used to it before long, and consider
the water as attractive as a beverage
some of them are considerably more
familiar with.
