the Tip Top team.
Coming to third base we find that
the averages show Terry Turner as the
best fielder, and most baseball critics
would be willing TO admit that, in case
the figures do not lie. So, too. in the
case of shortstops, George Mcbride is
at the top in the figures, which is Just
where he belongs, in fact, according TO
most critics.
Amos Strunk leads the outfelders.
and there is no great miscarriage of
justice here, but when the case of iris
Speaker comes up the case for the aver
ages fails utterly. Speaker ranks only
twelfth among the outer gardeners. Il
is not difficult TO show that in his case
at least he covered far more ground
than men above him in the averages.
Indeed, he set new record for
chances accepted by an outfelder in a
single season. Iris made 425 put-outs
and made thirty assists. In the matter
Of capturing flies, no one but Bert
Shotten came within 100 put-outs Of
Speaker. Shotten had a very credit
able record on his own account, for he
made 359 put-outs. Clarence Walker
tied Speaker in assists, but was 100
put-outs behind him.

possible.
get the percentage" is our club
house slogan. ! urge the men that no
matter what the play is they should
see that our club gets the best per
centage." For instance, If there is a
runner on first base the batter should
try to hit to right neld, because there
is less chance of doubling the man at
second and his prospects Of getting two
bases on the blow if the ball should
happen TO fall safe are greatly i'm
proved.
Another play we made very often
last season, and which led several man.
ayers to allege that ! was crazy, was to
sacrifice with a runner on first base
and one out. This meant that it put
runner on second with two out, and
that nothing except base hit would
score him. But the move won four or
FIVE ball games for US last season, and
four or FIVE count for a lot If you are
coming down the stretch in tight
race.

ing tight baseball and making every
chance count soon hurt the confidence
of your opponents, and it was not long
before the other managers In the
league began saying:

AS soon as this report got around
and back to me, as anything viii do

Of big league gossip, ! knew that we
were making progress. That was a

Looking for Players.

All this time | was looking TO
strengthen my team, for ] was natu-
rally far from satisfied, but there was
no use in blasting away the whole club,
for ] must try TO make good with what
had at first and pick up men to fill
holes as the opportunities came along.
No manager is ever satisfied with his
club, even after he has won the worlds
championship, and he keeps a sensitive
finger constantly on its pulse. As soon
as saw a man who looked likely and
who was available would grab him and
FIJI him in. | got Joe Connolly after
waivers had been asked on him, and he
has turned out 10 be one of the best
outfielders in the league and a wicked
hitter. He had the baseball in him. but
no one else had got il out. He needed
some developing and fussing with.
In 1913 the race had not progressed
very far until ! had my men figuring
on both ends Of a play before they
made IL. Some managers maintain that
our morning skull" practice is foolish
and that nothing can be learned in
baseball except as il comes out on the
field. Perhaps few of them will have
changed their minds by next year
possibly one or two are convinced that
il has some slight value now But !
maintain that no play can be effective
Iv organized unless both ends are
worked out, so that the men who are 10
take part in il may know what their
iobs are. This method has brought
sone success 20 us, anyway, and we
are going 20 stick 20 II.
