Cooperation of Scientists for Saving
Lives.

The creation by the American Medical
association and others of the commission
on resuscitation from electric shock was
announced early this year. A prelimi-
nary report of this commission has been
issued in the form of revised chart of
instructions to be followed in case of
accident, and a booklet containing prac-
tically the same matter as the chart.
The chart is printed on heavy cardboard
and is to be posted in all electric power
houses and other places where injury
from electric current is possible. The
booklet is for distribution to employees.
While the high character of the work Of
this commission is most gratifying, the
most important result of its appointment
is the close cooperation which has been
established between the organizations
representing the medical profession of
the country and the electrical engineers
and those interested in electrie-light
problems. If further evidence of the
value of the work of this commission is
needed. il is found in the request recent
" made by DIR. J. A. Holmes, director of
the bureau of mines of the department
OF the interior, asking that the medical
!nembers of the commission serve on
similar committee on resuscitation from
poisonous gases. Accordingly DIR. Wal
ter H. Cannon. Dr. :. J. Meltzcr. Dr. Yam
dell Henderson, Dr. George w. Grille, DIR.
Reid Hunt and Dr. Joseph Erlanger have
been appointed on such commission.
This includes the medical members Of the
commission on resilscitation from elec-
trio shock. with the addition Of Dr. Hunt
and DIR. Granger.

s Play the ball; don't let 1t play you.
Anybody can wait until the ball gets
to him and then grab 1t. Your cue is
to come in and make the play In a
way most useful to yourself. Make q
practise of judging the ball when It is
twenty feet away, Then run in and
grab 1t.
Don't back up unless you have to.
Never back away from a slow ball.
With a slow ball and a fast runner
you want to get to 1t as fast as you
can. Don't walt for them. Go in after
them. or course this doesn't follow on
a hard-hit ball. Sometimes it will
make you break ground. Even If 1t
doesn't. the fact that 1t is hard hit
gives you plenty of time to make the
play and still get the runner at the
bag.
Play the bag, not the runner, | mean
by that, when a man is coming to
second from first and you get the ball
don't run out to touch him. Wait
until he comes to you. Coming down
the baseline he has a. lot of latitude.
At the bag his activities are focused
on one point. I learned this from
Chance. though he didn't mean to
teach me. l had just started with
Brooklyn. He got to first and started
to steal. 1 got the ball and had him
ten feet. So I ran out to make It as
safe as l could. Chance hit the dirt,
hooked a slide under me, and l missed
him two feet. Since then I've waited
at the bag for 'eIn. 1 know they have
to come there.
Toss the ball when you can. This
applies in making plays to men al
first n second. If you get the ball
ten feet away from the bag and are
throwing to the shortstop there, for
instance, don't throw the bali either
overland or ~underhand, but toss it,
as a girl does. If you throw at that
range the ball goes too fast for the
baseman to see It. Lots of plays are
balled up because the man on the bag
doesn't see the throw. This is a bad
looking play II you miss on it.

Get pop flies if they come your way.
Don't wait for the captain to tell you.
If o see you have them. go aftoss
them and keep yelling. They'll give
them to you. The silliest play In base

an easy pop fell between them. Go
after it, boiler and keep hollering.
That's my way.

GEORGE HALLER LANDS HEADPIN
WATCHDOG WITH SCORE OF ITO

George Halter brought a band of
clever bowlers down from Montciair
last night to roll in The Star headpin
tournament ON the IroQuois alleys.
George used to be n of the star
bowlers Of Greater New York, but Is
now conducting the Metropolitan al
leys in Montclair. He showed some of
his old-time speed last night by ac-
counting for a mark of ITO. He and
John K. Roll, who also had a score OF
ITO, led all the other performers last
night. There were fifty of them in the
crowd and a big bunch of rooters came
along, too. Six watchfobs were won.
Both Tom Healy and w. Z. Mills, 1r,

Judgment about this, but it's a good
rule to get the fast man.
TX.
Get a line on opposing batters. II
you are a new man In a league, ask
the old players about where the OPP
posing batters usually hit and what
they usually hit at. If you are an old
man in a league, there will always be
a lot of new men. BY making inquiries
you can usually find somebody who
has played in the league the new men
came from and who can tell you about
them. If you know the batters, you
know where to play for them.
x.
Study base unner BY watching
them closely for a while you a come
pretty near telling when they are going
to steal. There is one I'M in this
league, for instance, who has this
method: When he Is going to stick by
the bag he is or the jump up inc down,
making a bunch of bluffs. When he
is going to steal he stands perfectly
still until the pitcher throws, and
then gets off fast. Knowing this about
him, you can generally tell when he
is going to get away. 1t is the same
with almost all base runners. They
will give away their plans.

chance at the ball. There are only
a limited number of plays that can
develop out Of any situation, and 1t
is Easy to get them all in mind and
to figure out just what you will do
In each case. Then there is little
chance to pull a bone.
VII.
Watch the catcher's signals. That's
about half the secret of covering
ground. If you know what the pitcher
is going to throw and have a line on
the batter, o can pretty nearly tell
where he will hit. Then shift accord
ingly. For instance, a right-hander
will be likely to hit a fast ball to
right and a curve ball to left. A curve
comes slower than a fast ball, and
naturally the batter swings farther
roun before he meets it. BY know
ing the batters and watching the sig

cent. more ground.

Harenberg to Open Season
for the KOnSideS April II

Charley Nuremberg will make his de-
but as a baseball manager when his
Ironside f. C. inaugurates the season
at Park View oval April Ii, meeting
the knights of Columbus nine, of Har-
rison. The latter nine, composed of
the cream of West Hudson semi-pros,
should be one of the strongest con-
tenders for sand lot championship
honors, and although the Ironers will
have just as strong, if not a stronger
team than in previous seasons, they
will have to 'go' their mightiest to
take the measure of the newly or
ganized K. of c. aggregation.
The South Orange Baseball Club has
reorganized with Joseph Scott as man
ager and Augustine Mccarthy captain.
The nine, which last year won fifteen
out of nineteen games played, will be
composed precisely of the same play
ers. They are Captain Mccarthy,
pitcher; Manager Scott, James Curley
and John Mclaughlin, outfelders;
George Hughes and Richard Curley,
first base; Vincent Mccarthy, second
base; Arthur Deisler and Andrew
Healy, shortstop; Chester Steve,
pitcher; william Kline, catcher, and
William Herman, third base. The team
will play its home games on the 'dirt
diamond" South Orange.
Here's a chance for some fast local
semi-pro team to secure available
playing grounds for the coming sea-
son. The Wright street grounds, where
the old Washington Baseball Club used
to play, Is yacant and Al. Hiliker offers
same. For particulars call at Hiliker's
