CHANCE FOR BASKETBAIL
TEAMS TO HELP.

Athletes, managers. promoters of
sporting events in general have al
ways been among the first to step
out and offer the assistance in a
worthy cause. The chance is offered
local basketball teams. The Christ
mas season and spirit Is practically
with us. but for many this year there
is nothing but disappointment. Var
ious campaigns have been organized
and are fostered to raise funds TO
provide a real Christmas for the
worthy. Here is what / am trying
TO get at:
There are many basketball
teams in Wilmington. II Is
great opportunity for them to
aid a worthy cause. Why can't
game or games be arranged.

which cannot BE- overlooked. The

that local basketball will come out

From the story one would think
that sisler was rated as a great
base runner and that STATE in show
ing the way TO the ST. Louis star
had accomplished an extraordinary
feat.
George sisler is a very fast man,
yet Sisler is not great base run
ner. No player in either major league
can step down 10 first much faster
than George. However. after reach
ing the initial sack Sisler is unable
TO take advantage OF his great
speed.
Base running is as dependent on
good judgment in selecting the
spot TO take chance. and in get
ting a good lead when taking that
chance. as It is on speed.
The leading base runners are not
always the fastest men in the league.
/ don't believe ever saw a better
base runner than George Moriarty.
now an American League umpire,
yet Moriarty was far from being a
fast man on the bases.
n seemed that he could sense the
proper time to go. Incidentally, he
never went unless he got away to a
good lead. When Moriarty was a
player IL was not an uncommon
thing for him to steal home a half
dozen times during the season.
OF late years II a base runner
turns thu trick once during the year,
he Is satisfied that he has pulled
something out OF the ordinary.
know any number Of fast men who
during their major league career
never even attempted a steal OF
home.
Base running is an art. A certain
amount Of speed is OF course neces-
sary. In addition there must be
plenty OF good judgment.-B. Il.
