Mr.. LoOney states that the large
number Of bankruptcy cases does not
necessarily mean depressed financial

chances which often lead them to the
bankruptcy court, whereas in the de-

To be a successful shOrtstOp, a play
er must first have unusual physical
strength, unlimited endurance and
great speed. and above all things be
able to throw accurately from almost
any position on the field
A shOrtstOp has less time to get
man at first especially II you are up
against a left-handed batter, who IS
very fast, and as a rule most Of them
are.
On an occasion Of this kind I always
come in on the batter. for he is very
liable to drive the ball either LETT or
right. in which case 1t stands 10 reason
that the man playing shorusJop must
be exceedingly fast TO pick IL up and
throw the batter out at first
1t Is not only a matter OF picking up
TO throw to first base Many short
stop has been able to land a ball driven
down the field. but has caught 1t In
bad position and the time required IN
getting it away and into the first base
mans hands has let the batter get TO
Could Get Ball Away Quickly.
The reason that I was picked for
away quick and OF course with accur-
acy. which is the most essential thing
in a game.
the bah away viii absolutely lose an
important play.
It is also claimed that am very
is another very important factor to
shortstOp.
Here again the ability Of getting the
ball away is most important for one Of
the most difficult things to do is to go
after a ground ball beat out at a mile
a-minute pace and get IL in a position
to Immediately deliver it to first.
Another great factor in the position
Of shOrtstOp as II is IN any other posi-
ton on the field is self-cOnfdence.
which is only developed with lots of
practice and hard work.
With a bowling mob about the field
on a big day and something going
wrong. 1t is not the hardest thing in
the world TO lose confidence. and once
let that self-cOnfidence get away from
you and you might as well quit
Another requirement Of shOrtstOp
is his ability to tag base runners at
second and still keep a close watch on
the field that they do notWhip one over
while you are thus engaged
Catcher Guides the Inield.
We have had system Of taking
every signal from the catcher. and by
this means we know every ball pitched
and by adhering closely to this system
every minute on the diamond. we have
a percentage at least on the batter.
which IS indeed an asset.
Another difficulty Of playing short
stop is to be able to judge, and Judge
quickly. which play to make, when
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-02-12
SHORTSTOP IS HARDEST
POSITION SAYS TINKER

matters are rather complicated, that Is
TO know just exactly where to throw
the ball at the right time
Another thing that has been great
benefit to me Is playing in the right
position for the different batter8-
Some players hit over second base,
some pull the ball down between third
and short Naturally you have 70 play
according to where they hit For in
stance. for a left-hand batter you would
have to come in and for batters Ike
Wagner and LajOie you would play
deep for them, as they are slower men
and it gives you more time to throw
them out
one thing that a shOrtstOp has to
contend with IS the fact that II he
misses a ground ball the runner viii
reach first safely nine times out OF
ten on account Of the long throw
necessary after recovering, and II you
do field the ball clean you have ths
longest throw on the diamond
These are some Of the reasons why
consider the shOrtstOp the hardest posi-
ton on the infield to play / think that
a majority Of shortstOps could go to
either second or third and make good,
but ] know that a great many second
and third basemen have tried to play
short and have failed at the position I
have played all three OF the places
mentioned and I think that my eX-
perience has made me fairly able to
Judge the work necessary on the inneld
positions.
