in the game. Each year he has
/ turned in creditable number of
steals. but it was not until this sea-
son that his work on the paths has
attracted countrywide attention. To
| date he has Durloined thirty six sacks,
| a number far in excess of that at
tanned by any other American League
player, and eight more than the total
credited to Max Carey, the champi on
speedster of the National League.
Some of his fellow players are in
clined to attribute Rice's success this
year to overcoming the fear of being
hit with thrown balls, which, they as
sert, formerly interfered with the ex
ecution Of his slide. but Rice denies
he ever felt any apprehensionS on that
score.
II think most of the success I've had
in stealing bases this year is due to
Roth" is the way Rice puts it. Roth
stands at the extreme back of the
batter's box. and the additional foot
or so of distance the ball must travel
before it reaches the catcher means
much on close plays at second. There
are many instances in the game where
base runners have been similarly
helped. Cobb for years had this ad-
vantage, batting ahead of Sam Craw-
ford.
"Of course. getting off to good
start helped me. When ma jority of
my early attempts to steal proved sue
ceSsful, it was only natural to keep on
trying to advance by this method.
Then, there is great fascination about
trying to beat throws to the bases"
Rice denies he is seeking any rec
ords, but admits he would like to run
his string of thefts up to sixty. He
asserts that no one catcher is easier
for him to steal on than another; that
stolen bases seldom are chargeable
against a catcher anyhow, the pitcher
usually being to blame in permitting
big leads to be obtained. Of one thing
Rice is positive-that his success on
the paths is not due to the develop
ment of greater speed in running. Sam
estimates he is not so fast by two
fifths of second in one hundred yards
as he was a couple of years ago.
