Some folks insist that first base
Is the most important position in the

teams success continues a matter OF
debate.
But this fact is certain:
No team ever was truly great with
out good first baseman; no club
ever rose to championship heights
which lacked star man to dig them
out of the ground or pull them from
u
infield which had a poor first base
man.
A good first baseman can steady
and speed up an infield which is 9TH

man can null the greatness of a sec

stops and throws if the first baseman
can't handle them perfectly and COM

On the other hand, if the other in
flelders are slow in throwing and &C.
centric in shooting to first, a great

! by great catches of the wild losses.
! Must Learn to Catch
The youngster striving to become
a first baseman must, first of all
learn how to catch ball with two
hands from any angle and from diff
ferent positions. After he has become
perfect in that, he must learn how tc
catch it with one hand. For often,
very often, the throws are so wide
that it's impossible to spear them
with two hands. Unless the bagman
is trained in one handed catching, the
throws are likely to get away from
him, the runner will be safe, and per
haps the game will be lost.
Practice finding the bag. Many
youngsters fail in their efforts to be
