NEW YORK, March 20.-F1ushed

lightweight champion, set out to- day
to secure matches with top notchers in

A terrible left hook to Kinks chin
sent the Westerner staggering TO the
ropes, and a right to the jaw an In
slant later floored him for nine sec
onds. Kirk regained his feet in time
to suffer further punishment, but Ref
cree Sammy Kelly stepped in and stop
ped the bout.
Kirk had all the better of it for two
rounds. He jabbed Attell almost at
will with his left, and hooked his right

sudden shift when the third round
started, however Attell stepping IN

He is Explains Mystery Of 'Fallaway Slide"
Learn to Do 1t Right, Or You May Break Leg

when attempting third. Anyway,
you plan to clutch the corner Of
the bag with the hook made by
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
outf1eld. 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. II you do have 1t caught,
you are liable to break your leg
just above the ankle, for when you
put your spike into the ground that
is brakes on" and that foot and
leg at least are ging to stop right
there. But the rest Of the body Is
trying to slide, and along it comes
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
1t: 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
pads. You lie fiat with your left
foot hooked against the cushion
and the baseman has had no part
Of your person within reach to
touch. except your foot as it came
in. This is a very small target
very low down and moving RAPIDLY
When properly executed. YOU will
find yourself called safe" much
oftener than when using any 9TH
err slide.
When hooking with the right foot
YOU are. of course, falling TO the
inside-that is, on the diamond.
when approaching a base-and you
throw your left foot and leg for
ward first. But after you have
once attained any base, if you use
the hook slide with which to get
back (as you should whenever
the pitcher throws over there. YOU
should ALWAYS hook with the
right foot. which means that in all
such cases (going back to a base)
YOU fall 10 the left and toward the
outfeld
We will continue the subject Of
base running in our next number.

THE candidates who Coach Cum
L ningham has put the varsity
badge on are Captain McWhorter,
who will lead his team from his
regular position In center field;
Bowden, last seasons all-choice for
all-Southern catcher, who. along
with Hutchins will do most Of the
receiving this season; Hutchins,
who played regular first in 1912, but
who will go behind the Dat or in
the outfield when not in the bat
terry; CHM, for two seasons left
fielder and star base runner, who
gets his old assignment this year;
Covington, who played in the infeld
last season and was the find at
third. Covington will listen to the
third base line rooters when the
umpire calls the first game.
This Is the roster Of regulars who
are not worrying over their Jobs,
but there are several out in the
lucky thirteen" who won their
letters last year. but were not reg
ulars.
Captain Peacock, Of the football
team, who was the best pinch hit
ter of the squad his initial year, is
bidding for berth in right and is
picking the ball as steadily as ever.
If he can get up a little speed on
the base lines he will be a fixture
in the right garden. Erwin, utility
second baseman OF last year, who
still has pleasant memories of a
Tech game that he won with a
home run, has been switched to the
outfield and given a chance there.
Henderson is the official first
baseman to date, and from the
way he handles himself around the
initial sack he will be found there
when the season ends. He is a
natural hitter and has the build of
a typical first baseman. Harrison.
OF Martst has displayed enough
ability to have second assigned to
him, and If he plays the same
brand of ball at Georgia that he
did around Atlanta, the Red and
Black can soon boast of a second
Derrick. Clements has escaped the
iron hand Of the faculty in the mid
term exams and Is fielding eyery-
thing in sight around short. His
uniform Is spotlessly new, and the
man who takes 1t off him will
nave to go at fast clip. He was
captain of Gordon last year. Halves.

and getting a quick start is an

than three steps in which to get
up top speed, he will have some

And at the finish of his dash he

NOW 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

But professional players got to
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 intimidated
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 a time or two
by these relics of harbarism"
should be trife 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
fan away also known as the
"fadeaway." 1t is of comparatively
recent invention. but has come so
rapidly in favor that 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

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 a 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 a word. YOU must always be
able to outguess and outplot your
opponents.
. HER speed Is a 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 ne 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 il on him.
and how long he must take 20 get
back the given distance. having in
mind the condition of the paths
