running. When in his prime Wagner
always came down to first base like
the wind and made the turn at full
speed. Nine times out of ten on the

and hold first base. The tenth time

ers. He knows every move that is
going to be made by certain men and
just what 1t means. He watches the
outfielders and soon knows what their
way of handling the ball on the ground
is, whether they will get it away
quickly or not, and what kind of
throwers they are. If man shows
tendency to slowness or inaccuracy
Cobb makes a mental note of the fact.
and the next time he hits to that field
he is likely to take an extra base.

BRAINY BASE RUNNERS
Wagner and Cobb, Two Bag
Stealers, Use Judgment.
Pittsburg Dutchman Made Many Dou-

les Pitchers.

Proper base running, such as the
New York Giants indulge in, consists
In taking chances without being too
reckless. Nothing is ever gained by
the conservative runner who sticks
close to his base until the ball is hit
over the fence. The followers Of the
old army game will win only a small
portion of the games for a ball club
On the other hand, the reckless run
ner, who is always getting pinched
on at the most critical stages, is
about equally worthless. A combina-
ton OF aggressiveness and caution Is
the right dope for successful base
running. A better way to put it would
be aggressiveness tempered by good
Judgment. Every pitcher has plenty
of little signs unknown to himself
which an observant runner can soon
get next to. If more base runners use
their brains to detect these signs and
take advantage of them there would
be more bases stolen. The man who
is smart enough always to take an ex-
ira base when the opportunity offers
is the winning player.
For years Wagner of Pittsburg led
the league in two-base hits. He was
