A FAST START AIDS RUNNER
IN THE P|LFER|NG OF BASES
Speedy Seal Believes in Get
ting Off to Good Start and
Then Taking Chances
BY JIMMY JOHNSTON
(star OF the San Francisco Club and
Leading Base Stealer of the Pacific
Coast League.)

SOunh A1Gu8uCsb
Successful base stealers owe
their success to different qualifi-
cations. Some players are very
fast and steal bases due to their
great speed; others take a big
lead off the base and get away to
a good start, and still others en-
ploy the hook slide and headlong
slide to enable them to pilfer
cessful base stealers adopt the
same tactics.
1 have seen slow men steal
bases galore and fast men thrown
out by wide margin. When /
first broke into the game at Ke-
vance in the old Central associa-
tion this fact impressed me. 1
wondered how 1t was that these
slow men. the laughing stock of
the younger players on account of
their lack of speed. managed to
nc8oIdLe SO many DaSeS.
IMPROVED STEADILY
1t set me thinking and watch
ing, I observed every movement
they made and it wasn't long be-
fore | discovered they were In
tentiy studying the pitcher and
watching every move of his In
the box. They always seemed to
start at the right time and had
the base stolen before the ball
was half way to the second base
man.
The pitcher was the man they
were stealing on, not the catcher.
1t was late In the season be-
fore I detected their strong
points, too late to put them into
practical use. ] stole 35 bases
that season.
The next year l practiced hard
and early on getting a good start
and it helped me wonderfully. l

START IMPORTANT
My base stealing was improv-
ing, but still l was not satisfied.
/ knew that once / got the start

At Chattanooga the following

MUST BEAT PITCHER
I am going my fastest after the
first step.
This in a good measure is re-
sponsible for my success as a base
stealer.
Just as a good start in life is
everything, SO is a good start on
the bases. In other words, get

essential and helps to make a
good base stealer
