Giants Haze Mastered
Base Running Art, While
HghIanders Haze Not
American Leaguers Have
Failed to Make Good Up to
Date Plainly Shown in
Exhibition Game.
BY BULGE

|THE one giarins fact brought out
in tho exhibition game between
the Highlanaers and the Giants
IL that the Giants have mastered the
art OF base running while the Hill
toppers rave not. Or. to state II the
other way. the Giant pitchers. even
though they be newcomers. are much
better drilled in the science Of keeping
runners glued to the sacks.
So far a. fooling the batters was con-
cerned. Mcconnell pitched Just a. good
bah as either Maxwell or Fullen weider.
but HE one weakness became apparent
while runners were on the bases. Time
and time again Mcconnell left himself
wide open, and the Giant sprinters did
not fail to take advantage of the OPP
p~ortunities to get big leads toward the
next station.
McGrAw sent bis nne down a.
fast as they reached first base, and
they G1itted around The cushions as they
pleased. On the other hand, Maxwell
gave his catcher all the help he needed
In preventing big leads, and that ex-
plains the difference in the score.
This exhibition with the Giants raj .
great opportunity for Mcconnell to get
rid OF h n weakness that caused
him to be sent back to the minors two
years ago. and It will do him more
He say for himself. q.
HtLLToPs PLAYED IN HARD
LUCK.
In addition to their failure to prevent
the Giant bas running the Highland
ers had many breaks of hard luck. But
