ious influence Of jazz has spread its
network over the Continent.
Jazz Bands Everywhere
No music hall or dancing place is
quite complete without its Jazz band,
which, pronounced in French, sounds
something like jahzbah. Jazz has
even invaded the drama.s lie
Danseur de Madame" comedy
popular last season on the Boule-
ward, satirized the conflict between
marital duties and devotion to jazz,
with jazz monograph records taking
the place of Illicit love letters. Sacha

boulevards, introduced a jazz band
into his comedy "Je t'aime.n 1t con-
sisted of three frightened negroes,
who had evidently never come into
contact with musical Instruments
before. Sacha's band was the very
antithesis of jazz.
But despite this increasing popu-

Gus and educated musicians approach
it with interest and respect. In Paris

1t is for the most part a tribute to

tribute to "the astonishing perfec-

INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS
LOSE TO REDS after
ninth INNING RALLY

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April T.
Staging ninth inning rally that net
ted four runs, the Cincinnati Reds
trimmed the Indianapolis Indians to
the tune of 8-4. Wednesday. The
score was at deadlock when the
Reds went to bat in the first of the
ninth but six hits netted the visitors
four runs enough to win the game.
Marquard started on the mound for
the Redlegs and worked better than
he has in any game so far this sea-
son. He held the Indians safe at all
periods allowing them five hits and
two runs in the five innings he
worked.
Fisher relieved RUDE in the sixth
but his support failed at times and al
lowed one run to slide over the pan
in the sixth and eighth innings tying
the score, he only allowing the In
dams two bingles.
Bressler led the club at the bat with
three blows and a sacrifice out of four
trips to the pan. Paskert and Bohne
hit hard and timely, Paskert's trip
sending in two runs but was caught
mapping a second later.
The teams will play again Thurs.
f., day when the Reds will go to Cincin-
natl after the game to get prepared
for the opening of the season with
the Pirates on the 18th.

Baseball in Richmond and vicinity
is rapidly coming into prominence,
many teams are being organized, while
several are playing their first game
of the season Sunday. The teams
have all been working out daily and
are rapidly rounding into first-class
shape for the summer campaign.
1t is not likely that a suburban
league will be organized as none of
the teams have announced any inten
ton of entering the league if it were
a possibility.
The managers of the teams have
been working their men out regularly
getting them in condition for the conf
ing season and some fast teams are
promised to be in the field.
Richmond will be represented this
season possibly by more mines than
she has been for several years. First
the Eagles, possibly will be represent
ed by the strongest team in the vicin-
ity, although several of their men are
getting tryouts with minor league
teams. If the men make good, the
birdmcn will be greatly weakened.
Eagles Get Lease.
The Eagles have obtained the lease
of the Exhibition park for the season
and according to the present plans
will be strictly home team not play
ing any games Off the home lot. The
personnel of the team has not been
announced to date but the club will
carry II men and most of the players
will be members of the club.

ton of Piggy" Maher. will enter a
team in the field this year and Piggy
has collected a good .3ang of ball
players for the season. His team will
be a road team and will play all OF
their games away

batter is fast or slow. Then play &C
cordingly. If he's slow, you can take
a lot of care in getting the ball and
in making your throw perfect. If he
is fast, you'll have to grab the ball in
hurry and make a hurried throw.
The batter always tries to bunt
along the line. That being the case,
play the line for that hunt. Don't play
TO your left, but hug closely to the
line. The pitcher will take care of
bunts to your left. If you play the
line, which is the place where the bat
ter wants TO drop the ball. your very
position will worry the batter. Further
more. by playing the line. you will be,
in nine cases out of ten, facing first
base when you pick up the ball.
And that must be your aim-tO face
the base where you want to make the
throw, at the very moment you get the
ball in your hand. That will make
Der that turning around is handicap
to you for as you turn you must first
get yOr bearings before making your
throw. If you don't have to turn, and
are faced at the target for the throw,
Use Both Hands.
Never play the ball one handed I'M
less it is absolutely necessary. Any
time you attempt a Cne-handed play
you run the terrible risk of missing
the ball altogether. That means the
runner is safe and may be the game
is lost to your side solely through your
blurder.
In taking a throw from the catcher
to get a man going into third, try to
! make the play on the inside of the
, bag-that is with your legs inside the
diamond. Put your right foot on the
bag and your left little behind. Such
stance enables you to face the
catcher and also to be in position to
Wlirl without an iota of lost motion
to stab the incoming runner.
After you've schooled yourself in
these primary points in third base
play, the rest is up to you. You've got
to learn then to play the batter. You
must learn the hitting peculiarities OF
each man that comes to the plate-and
make your plays accordingly. Some
fellows are notorious foul line hitters
others drive we'll to the left of the
bag. Some hit Founders that can bc
