JOE TINKER TELLS HOW

A shortstop has an opportunity to

the outfeld. back up third and be able
| to cover third in case a runner is on
first and a ball is hunted to the third
baseman. He is also compelled to
cover second in case runner attempts

is so fast one can not back up on the

finds it absolutely necessary to take

at what angle A shortstop probably
has more opportunities to err than
any other player, for the reason he
must field a ground ball and then
throw it accurately. In 101 games

Tennis CUPS
FOR PUNAHOU

Mr.. E. H. Paris has offered a beau
tiful silver cup to the winner of the
Punahou Prep. girls single tennis
tournament which is to be run off in
the near future. With this beautiful
trophy in view the outlook for lively
and interesting girls tournament is
brighter than ever before.
Under the direction of Mrs. Agnes
P. Driver the athletic members of the
fair sex from the prep. have adopted
tennis as one of their most important
sports and the interest that is being
aroused in this game continues to in
crease. Tournaments have been held
for the last few years, Miss May Gay
winning last year and Miss Edith Car
ter the season before that.
If no new players turn up it looks
like the winner of the last tournament
will be the strongest in the race this
year. Although one Of the smaller

Three of the most essential factors
in playing shortstOp are fielding the
ball, getting it away quickly and fast
thinking The next thing in my mini
Is to study the batters and be able
to know where they hit certain ne II.
Take Miller Higgins Of the St Louis
Cardinals, for instance. The short5top
should play about 20 feet from third
rase and close to the base line
Take Chief Wilson of the same team
and one finds it necessary to play
about Is feet from second base and
about 10 feet back of the base line.
Both are left-handed batters In the
case of Hans Wagner of the .ftts-
burgh Plralr. il is necessary to play
Geep and ever toward third basN, be-
cause he pulls more balls dow the
eft field fool line than any other place
Catcher Gibson, also Of Pittsburgh,
is the same style of hitter, although it
is necessary to play him near second
and way deep. Both are slow runners,
or might say slow starters, and hit the
nall hard. In playing deep for these
5atters the shOrtston has tire to field
the ball and get it over to first ahead
of them.
Another asset that a shOrtstOp must
have is ability to get into a double
play fast and complete it. He also
must not be afraid to tag the base run
ners and at the same time protect
himself from injury which might put
him out of commission. The short
stop must also be able to hold up run
nCrs when they are on second and not
give them running start. This gives
the outfelders a chance TO throw a
runner out at the plate on base hit.
II also prevents the base runner from
stealing third.
Still another important factor is that
shOrtstop must take all signs from
the catcher just the same as the
pitcher. as batters will hit certain
pitched balls to different parts Of the
field. If a catcher signs for curve

right handed pitcher on the slab. nat
urally the batter is more likely to pull

shortstop; therefore, the latter must
be prepared to go to his right If a
fast ball is thrown the batter is more
apt to hit late and drive it more to
, center or right field. OF course. this
Etust follow that all batters drive the
/ ball in the same place, but it gives
the shOHtstOp a percentage on the

Another important feature of playing
short is to work at all times with

GERMAN GUNS
ARE TWO HEAVY

Paris. Oct. 21.-The question has
beer many times asked why the Ger
mans with their great numbers and
their overwhelming superiority in ar
tillery. after having broken the re-
sistance of the allies at Charleroi and
penetrated to the very gates OF Paris,
were unable to maintain their posi-
tions. The military science OF Cen
eral Joffre certainly furnished one
reply to that question, but military
writer in the Liberte Du Sud thinks
there is another in the cumbersome
character of the German heavy artil-
lery.
The famous German mortars. the
"brummers." are capable of firing a
l4-inch shell as long as a man of
average height distance OF eight
miles. They were considered most
redoubtable before the war and in
fact they did terrible execution on
the forts of Liege and other fortified
positions, but since their entry / to
France not much has been heard
from then, excepting the exploits at
Rheims and at Mat .euge.

immense fighting machine is nearly

formidable. II requires experts to
fire 1t, most Of the gunners being
engineers from the Krupp works, and

has been the case when they have
