your left instep and foot-and that
is all and the only part Of your
anatomy that is going to touch the
bag. To accomplish this you lean
away over on your right hand and
begin to fall to your right away
from the diamond and toward the
outfield. simultaneously you thrust
your right leg and foot well for
ward in the direction in which you
are going. You should be VERY
careful to see that you pick this
entire foot well up off the ground
and do not have any part of the
spike of that foot caught in the
ground. If YOU do have it caught,

with all the crushing force Of its
whoOped- up momentum. The whole
strain is forced against the ankle
OF the foot which is spiked into the
ground. You can see that some
thing will have to give.
So never perform this maneuver
in a careless or sloppy manner If
you start his slide. go through with
it; otherwise don't start it at all.
Well, with your head and the
right side of your body close TO the
ground you will find that most of
the friction of the slide will come
on your right hip, for which reason
you ought to be wearing sliding

and getting a quick start is an
other. If it takes a runner more
than three steps in which to get
up top speed, he will have some
practice starts to go through with
before he will make a base-runner.
And at the finish of his dash he
must surely have the art of slid
ing thoroughly mastered. Other
wise he still can be dubbed only a
dub"
NOV about this sliding
First of all, the head-flrst slide
came into vogue, and very pretty
and useful slide it was. Until re-
Gently it still remained the favor
tie with college men and amateurs.
But professional players got 70
going feet first, not only occasion
ally but all the time. Sometimes
feet first was better than head
first. but professionals went that
way all the time, if simply be-
cause it worried and inundated
the baseman more or less. There is
some danger, both to the slider and
the baseman, in any kind of slide.
Feet first" with the long, keen
blades players are still permitted
to wear, is, of course, the most
dangerous to the baseman. 1t is
natural enough that players that
have been badly cut time OF two
by these relics of barbarism"
should be trifie spike shy" all Of
which is in the runners favor If
he continues to go in feet first.
THERE is another kind of slide
L which is better than either Of
the others. This is the hook" or
fall away" also known as the
"fadeaway. II is of comparatively
recent invention, but has come so
rapidly in favor tina, already the
prep school players are using it ex-
tensively and are coming to college
with the thing thoroughly mas
tered.
Without illustrations, it is some
what difficult to give an under
standable explanation of this slide,
but we will attempt it neverthe-
less.
When going to second or third
you observe that the baseman COW
ering is taking the throw either
in front of the base line or behind
it. OF course, this means that the
throw is either short or a long
one, but that point does not par
ticuarly concern YOU. The point
Of importance to You is that il the

with his club that he believes he
has chance of trimming the big
Ieaguers out of the series. He ad-
mits that that sounds chesty, but
wouldn't take it back for a fortune.
Yesterdays game, which the
Crackers won, s to /, wasn't an af-
fair that tended to shake Smiths
confidence in the team.
1t was raw old day, far too
cold for the Crackers to let out.
More than that, they faced a first
class pitcher in Zickerfoose. This
man is in a class far beyond most
Of his team mates. Errors made
possible a number of the Cracker
runs, for which 'Zichy" was in no
way responsible. He really gave
the locals very fair batting prac-
tice.
NIlITH each day that passes Wally
" Smiths stock goes UP. The
way he hit at a curve ball once or
twice suggested that he might have
some batting weakness. At that,
an average of 1856 in the National
league last year doesn't indicate
any alarming weakness. Yester-
day he managed to hammer out
two hits and to walk once.

YOU can do and can't do mere. as
well as elsewhere.
Fast runners are not necessarily
good base-runners, while. on the
other hand, players of only fair
speed are often pretty good base
runners. So much depends here
upon the quick and correct judg-
ment, the sound intuition as to
just when the pitcher is going to
deliver to the plate or to the base
and when he isn't.
TO be finished base-runner, one
must learn how to act decep-
lively when on base. You must
know how TO fool the opposition as
to when YOU are going to try for
the next base and when you are
not.
In word YOU must always be
able to outguess and outpot your
opponents.
9 HER speed is q fine asset in
- base-running. though lots OF
players fail to get the benefit OF
what they have by being too lazy
to hit it up for all they are worth.
The amateur must learn to the
very last inch the full measure of
lead he may take off a base with
every pitcher he goes against. To
master this point. he must know
exactly how long it takes the pitch
er to get it over to first, the base
man to catch and put it on him.
and how long he must take to get
back the given distance, having in
mind the condition OF the paths
and whether he is feeling quite
"ht" on the day in question
Getting a long lead is one thing.

RoNSTADT WILL RESIGN.
Takes Adverse Position to the Sani-
 tary Boards Ruling.

TUCSON-The controversy be tween J M. Ronstadt, member o1 the livestock sanitary board and cat tlemen of Pima county in regard to the dipping of cattle imported from Mexico, is occupying the board at Phoenix Tuesday. The other mem bers of the board recently ruled that cattle must be dipped twice and closed the port of Sasabe until ar engagements were made there for the double dipping, believed by some to be necessary to prevent the fever tick from entering this country.
 Ronstadt is in favor of the single industry of the United States. He asked for another hearing on the matter by the board, at which he could be present and this was ar ranged. He was not present at the former hearing at which action was taken.
 Ronstadt is opposed by some of the cattlemen of Pima county. W. E. Coberly and George Pusch have gone to Phoenix to represent this faction.
 Ronstadt is said to be ready with his resignation.
 He takes the position that the cost of a second dipping is prohibitive. The cattle have to be kept in a corral for eight days or more before the dip ping takes place.

VIOLATION OF EIGHT
 HOUR LAW ALLEGED
County Attorney Files Suit Against Miami Copper Company to Col
 feet the Fine.

GLOBE-Suit was filed in the Su- perior Court this week by County At torney Norman J. Johnson, on behalf Of the county, against the Miami Cop per company for damages for viola tion of the eight-hour law. The complaint charges fifteen dis tinct violations, all of which are alleg- ed to have occurred in January of this year.

 The law says it shall be unlawful for any person or organization to permit an employe to be on duty more than eight hours in any A consecutive hours except in cases of emergency when life or property is in imminent danger.
