Sporting Life: The question of Why
is it harder to steal third base than to
steal second?' has been raised num-
erous times during the last few weeks.
W ZEN in Detroit recently Manager
Hugh Jennings answered il. He said:
1t Is popularity supposed that the run
ner on second gets a better lead than
the runner on first, but this is not
true. When a man is on second he is
not only farther away from the catch
er, but he has TO watch more men than
when on first He must be ready to
go either way at an instant's notice
and naturally, then. he does not get
the start given man leading off first.
The runner on second has to watch the
shortstop. second baseman. pitcher and
catcher, whereas the runner on first
only watches the pitcher. The coacher
at first watches the runner When a
man is on second the runner has to
look out for himself. That is why he
doesn't get the Lead

Proper exmnastle Work.

Every person who has received gym
nasium training is aware OF the fact
that an exercise which calls for pain
full effort on the part OF the beginner
is often performed almost without any
conscious effort at all after a err
tain amount of training has been re-
ceived. Again, 1t Is perfectly well
known that brute strength alone does
not make a gymnast, and that even a
simple exercise may offer great diff
fculty to a muscular and we'll develop

for this Is made plain in an article by

But with the chance of q fight for

When Jim descended the hatchway
after -reconnoitering on deck, Chate-
lard was gone. The ships cook was
rummaging In a sailors kit that he
had drawn from a locker. Jim men

seamen had no doubt exaggerated the

Monsieur Chatelard had said that she

believe it.
While these thoughts flew through
his mind, James had been absently
watching while the cook turned his
treasures out upon his bunk, and
paved them over with trembling
HANDS. There were innumerable little
things besides a stiff white shirt, a
cheap shiny Bible, a stuffed parrot
and several wads of clothes. And

it, but the ships cook and the rest of
his booty disappeared like a rabbit In
to its burrow.
