How My Dad Taught Me to Play Baseball
BY Joe Tinker, Jr.
FIRST BASE
BY JOE TINKER, JR.

The first baseman should be
the surest catcher on the team, as
a large percentage of the balls
thrown go to his station. When
the bases are empty play well into
the field for hits that would 9TH
erwise go safe. Make your pitch
err cover first base OH plays of this
nature. Don't make swift over
hand throws which are liable to
be muffed.
Keep your eyes on the batter IL
first is occupied. If he bunts to-
ward first, run in and get the ball
and peg ii to second, taking a
chance that 1t will be returned
quickly enough to head off the
man who is running to first. Make
each peg be accurate.
Before you throw be sure you
will head the runner off. Practice
handling low balls. A clean pick
up invariably retires the batter.
A long reach is a great help to
o first baseman. II is sometimes
hard to gauge long throw.
Stand with both feet in front of
the base so that the position may
be easily changed from one side
TO the other, according to the
course of the ball. Watch for the
foul flies. Practice sprinting. AL
ways be OIL the alert to grab
popups.
Don't wait for the ball to come
to you. Go after 1t!

Gangway for Bob Fitzsimmons,
ir. The fightin' son of Ruby
Robert is ready for his first big
ring combat. This chip of the old
block is primed for a campaign
which his famous dad hopes will
yield another niche in the hall of
pugilistic fame for the family.
A good-looking, clean-cut hus-
ky, Young Bob carries none of
the distinguished characteristics
of the pugilist.
The big boy, in few ways re-
sembles his battle-scarred par
ent. You remember the Cornish
mans skinny legs. His son has
huge thighs and thick calves.
His torso is larger and his head
rounder and more clean cut,
while his face is plumper and
more pleasing. This can't be the
son of Old Bob, you tell yourself.
His shoulders remind you OF mis-
dads. The son has ruby hair;
also blue eyes, other character
istics of the former champion.

MAKE SCORES

Two wild pitches and a tumble
were the only reasons why Ray
Grummel's w. o. w. City league
team drew those rnree runs yes
terday in their game with the Ia
coma Tigers at Athletic park.
Any spectator will tell you that
the semi-pros were not entitled TO
score at all. But the Tigers,
still a little raw because the bad
weather has prevented proper
training, could not seem to get
tight grip on the ball. The final
score was IA to 3.
Tacoma scored in every inning
but the fifth, finishing with four
runs in the eighth, just to bring
the score into two figures.
Browne, the first man up in the
first inning for the w. o. w.
boys, reached first when Blgbee
fumbled the ball, and scored when
Lyle Bigbee made a wild pitch.
In the sixth Averill made two
wild pitches and l.. Mockel made
run. Bigbee fought the ball in
the eighth, and Mockel made an
other tally. A good sized crowd
attended the game. Score:
