Suggestions for shortstops

writtea especially for the Boys and
Girls Newspaper by
RaIpk ], Mule,
Of the Philadelphia National League
Club,
More important fielding is done by
the second basemap and the. shortstop
than any other two men on the whole
team. The shoytstop and the second
baseman mus, work together
frequently you will see a shortstop
playing close to the baseline, This
Ia my opinion, is not advisable, Play
ten oy afteen feet back. II Is much
run out.
Watch catcher'e Signals
The good shortstop can tell from the
crack Of the bat Just where the ball
" going, This Is learned through prac-
tice and observation.
By watching the signals Of the
catcher the shortstop can often tel
Just about where the batter is going
to hit the ball. To do this, however
you must know just where the batter
usually places the kind OF ball that Ii
to be pitched.
Don't hold the ball after, you get it.
Learn to throw 1t away from you
quickly and accurately, This, too
comes with practice.
Back Up Third Base
Usually the shortstop backs up the
third baseman. The outfeld players
are too far away to do It successfully
The shor1stop and the third basemar
should each have territory mapped out
however. so there viii be no interfer-
ence, especially in receiving flies ane
grounderp.
Practice picking up grounders
catching flies. etc. Spend some tint
studying the methods OF successful
shortstops. You may pick UP som
good pointers.

compared with conditions a year ago.
The Improvement in Germany, Mr..
Heckscher said yesterday. is patent In
many ways. The people seem to be on
the upgrade, he declared, and he does
not doubt that in industry and COM
merce they will come back eventually.
For one thing" he said. "they are
working hard. They realize that in labor
lies their salvation. Factories are busy
In the industrial centres and unemploy-
ment is comparatively small The Ger
mans can undersell the Allied countries
on almost all classes of goods. Finan-
cial problems constitute the most serious
obstacle to Germany's rehabilitation.
The depreciation of the mark. while it
gives the Germans an advantage In
selling abroad. becomes a serious ',andi-
cap on purchases from other countries.
I'm England, the coal strike hit trade
hard, though 1t helped some concerns to
dispose of surplus stocks of merchandise.
Britain's coal exports now have been
increased. but IL her industries are to be
placed on a basis at which they can
compete with trade rivals the cost Of
steam coal must be reduced. Liquida-
ton has proceeded throughout the king
dom to a considerable extent, and condi-
tons are improving. though slowly"
