Inasmuch az the high-wheeled sulky

the racing season of 1872 had been far
advanced, the twenty years of the bike

" ONTINUING, for a moment,
our discussion of the sub
ject of backing up" in base
ball, l wish to point out to ambi-
tious amateurs the fact that be-
cause you do not often see pro
fessional players going to the trou-
BILE of coming in fast and always
from the outfield to back up the
nearest base on batted infield balls
and on throws to and around the
infeld, is no reason whatever why
you should not get busy and do
this.
In professional ball there is much
less chance of such errors occur
ring as Will render the Johnny on
the-spot' presence of a backer-up
valuable. as is the case with anna
teur teams. In professional ball d
player is supposed to throw
straight, not wild, to a base; if he
can not. they quickly find it out
and get another man in his place,
for they nave the wide world to
draw from. A professional player
is always expected to Swing on"
to a ball thrown anywhere rea-
sonably near him; if he can not do
this, they can" him and get a
man who can Ono pun intended).
But in college ball we are limited
to the men we happen to have in
that particular college-we can't go
out and draw on the resources the
world at large has to offer. So If
we have players on the team who
can not be depended upon to throw
accurately, and others who can
not always be counted upon to
catch what Is thrown them (and
all amateur teams have some such
players). we have to do the next
best thing, and that is to drill
backing up into the players, so that
the evil results of any such mis-
cues will, at any rate, be reduced
to a minimum.

Baseball Work for the Ambitious Amateurs---No. 5
Coach J.W. .Heisman Writes on Backing Up Plays"

But even in professional ball we
are beginning to see professional
players come in with a hustle and
back the infield up, the way the
best coached amateur and college
teams have been doing these ten
years past. Even though they come
in SO times in succession without
finding anything for them to do
when they get there, yet on the
one hundredth occasion they find
that they have saved a base, a run,
or even, perhaps, the game. Time
was when they laughed at the col
lege boys for doing these things,
but the astute manager now en-
courages them to do likewise, just
a 5 he Is finding out, as did the col
legians of long ago, that ciga-
rettes and booze and late hours
don't go we'll with high grade per-
formances on the diamond
The professional manager is
finding that he must also be some
thing of trainer and something of
a coach, as well as a manager, in
these days Of progress.
A LWAYS relieve your pitcher of
any and all extra work that
you possibly can. If the ball is
thrown wild or carelessly to him,
so that he has to walk distance
for it. every infieldar should be on
the alert to save him this unneces-
sary exertion. AS a Corollary to
this it may be added that every one
should throw carefully to the pitch
er-not too hard, not so high as to
make him jump, not so low as to
make him stoop for it, and not so
wide as to make him strain to
reach it,.
Remember, too, that if the ball
goes through him, 1t is hard for
any other infielder to recover the
ball before the runner on base will
have had a fine chance to swipe a
base out of the carelessly thrown
ball. Whenever possible, also, 9th
ers should take the infield flies that
the pitcher should get; leave him
