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

Only fast, active fellows belong
on the short field. You must be
a good Splinter, quick to start
and stop, an accurate thrOwor,
and. in general, act as emergency
second and third-sacker. Often
times you will be required to field
the ball on the dead run and
make dead stop in order to
make a fast peg to first.
Get into the plays when q rum
ner is caught between bases.
Don't make too many throws in
play. Start at full speed and get
the runner in action and then
throw to the fielder in front of
the man.
Learn all the signals of the
team thoroughly. Memorize those
used between the catcher and the
first and second baseman so that
you will be posted on approaching
plays and able to back them up
promtly.
Playing short offers many
chances for individual star plays
and the work of good man will
have a great effect on the score
card.
Don't throw the ball until you
are sure YOU are going to get it in
the hands of the man who is wait
ing to receive it. Don't be over
anxious.
