fore. the hits with the sneak bound
because they must have some speed
attached to them.
Player Not at Fault.
Often a fielder is accused of play
ing the ball with his shins. when, as
a matter of fact. he did not play il
at all. The ball bounded into his
shins before he could shift his hands
to get il. and when he first placed
his hands to field it he was undoubt-
cdly playing the ball as it then SEEM
ed likely to go to him.
Give the batter a base hit on most
Cf these plays. You must study the
fielder while the ball is going to him.
You don't have to think of the bat
ter 1t is the ball and the fielder
who are your objectives. You can
almost surely tell by the manner in
which the fielder tries to reverse
himself whether the ball fooled him
or whether he did not play It right.
This is one of the plays in which the
scorer can best establish his repu-
tation. as there will be plenty to
combat him. especially if the play
happens to be vital to the outcome
of the game.

CUNTS CLASH TONIGHT
IN |NTERC|TY CONTEST

Washington basket ball for the sea
son is expected to receive a brilliant
termination when the best court per-
formers of the city and Baltimore
clash at the Arcade tonight.
The Districts claim TO superiority
will be upheld by Harvey Ingley OF
the Yanks and McNaney, Farley and
Fitzgerald of the Aloysians. Tommy NJ
Ford. formerly captain of the Yanks S
will captain the local lads
The battle will be staged under the
auspices of the Disabled American
Veterans. carnival will be held in
conjunction with the game.
Those on the Baltimore team were
chosen from the crack quintS Of the
Oriole \. c. and Loyola College. That
the local team is all primed for the
contest was demonstrated last night
when ii trounced the Y. NJ. &. A
Comets by a 37-to-25 score.
Basket ball for girls had its final
clash last night when the Capital
Athletic Club. champions of the Dis
trict. defeated the Princess team. 80

little action on either side. but when
The whistle blew for the final quarter

of the past. The champions have won
all but one game. losing that TO the
Hurricanes.

1t is his eyes. When he had in
fuenza II settled in his eyes. He
may get over II, but it does not look
as if it would be a hasty recovery.
He has given up driving an automo-
bile because Of the temporary af-
fiction, and the reports which are
received in an indirect way, are not
the least bit encouraging as to his
future. IF he is unable TO play this
year st. Louis can only hope that he
can get back in 1924.
BOehler Prize of Kid Pitchers.
OF all the young pitchers who have
been grabbed by the rapacious ajor
league scouts and have been put TO
managers, Boehler OF Pitts burgh
seems TO be the best. Last year he
was companion to Danforth at
Tulsa. Danforth is the same young
man who was dropped 70 the minors
by the Browns because he could not
make his delivery conform to the
laws of the game.
Boehler is strong. an OK for work
and pitcher who has been seasoned
in hard minor league engagements.
II was he and Danforth who were
the star tragedians. as well as vic
tors, in the post-season series be
tween Tulsa and Mobile last year, in
which Tulsa won.
If the Pittsburgh club does not
profit because of the endurance that
this Boehler boy may, show it will
dence and mislaid judgment.
kunz Also Is Promising.
Kunz. no is with Pittsburgh from
Sacramento. lis another good pitcher,
but he hasn't the variety nor the
style of the other man and on the

anything in the pitching line.
Then there is Henry of Mobile.
left-hander. who was in the series in
which Boehlcr took part last fall.
OF the two. Boehler appears to be
moro promising. although Henry il
properly used, will surely. help take
his club along when he is accus
toned TO his surroundings. If by any
chance Danforth and Henry should
both go good for ST. Louis, with
handler the Browns would have an
array of left-handed throwing that
would raise merry Ned with some OF
the batterS.
Robinson of Brooklyn has a pitch
er coming on who will be pretty sure
to stand up with the best under the
coaching that he will receive from
the Brooklyn manager. He is Dick
erran. formerly OF Memphis. He is
sometimes wild. That will work out
His delivery is a short forearm affair
acquired very likely from a natural
way of throwing the ball. Original
ly he was an outfielder and he was
induced to try pitching. That is the
other way around from most pitchers.

Manager Eillefcr of staging an inter

positions in the race. The staff is
composed of youngsters. with one ex-
ception-Grover AleXander-and he
appears TO be in form for a rafting
good year. Physically he is in Splen-
did shape. and his arm is responding
remarkably to training.
Besides Alex, Manager killefer has
left over from last season Virgil

land, Ernie Osborne, Vic Aldrich, and
Vic Kean, all right handlers. any one
of whom can qualify as a regular
They make up the best corps of young
pitchers in the National League. and
judging from the manner in which
they have advanced in camp. they
should be highly successful this sum
mer. Not only have they speed and
curves, but under the excellent school
ing of Alexander they have acquired
tricks that promise 10 add to their
effectiveness.
Have Three SOuthpawS.
The Cubs were shy a first class
southpaw last summer Percy Jones
was the only one on the club. and he
was hopeless. This year they have
four. three of whom probably will be
retained They are Fred FusselI, Nick
Dumovitch and Hippo Hodges The
fourth is Martin DumovitCh. who
needs another year in the minors be-
fore he will be ready. He is only
nineteen years old. and pitches with
commendable skill
Fussell is the best looking left
handler the Cubs have picked up in
years. He has a curve ball and con-
troll equal 10 Nap Rucker's. Fussell
also has speed. and is destined to be
Nick Dumovitch's assets are his
speed and change of pace. His curve
ball is only fair. but he works so
cleverly that much faith is being
placed in him: Hodges has ability and
may be carried for development al
though he is a bit shy on experience.
Class Behind the Plate.
Behind the plate the Cubs will have
more skill than any other team in
the National League. They have in
Bob O'F'arrell the best catcher in the
ranks. There is no doubt about his
being the best throWer. and last year
he came to the fore so rapidly in the

credited with being the smartest. AS
a hitter he ranks high. He was so
respected by the twirlers in his or

seventy bases on balls. hit for a high
average and drove in a lot of runs
To assist him he has one of the
snappiest backstops in base ball--Leo
Hartnett. a youngster with a rifle peg
and a good head. He is fair hitter.

As a rule the sneak bound goes
straight ahead. but at a confusing
height. The fielder. for instance, will
play for the ball low, and so far as
he can judge uo to the time that the
ball actually is in contact with his
hands he has played it right. He
may play for il high. and until he
finds that he isn't likely to get it
high he may be playing for il right.
Whsn it is DETECTED in some way
tram it's true course and does not
Mound as it should. judging by the
line which it has taken from the bat
up to the time of contact with the
ground. it is a sneak bound. and
ninety-nine times out of a hundred
1t should be given as hit.
Should Be Base Hit.
1t is more common to score such a
play as an error, the scorer, in reali-
ty making the error, than it is to
score it right That is largely due
to the fact that the scorer has not
followed the flight of the ball as
correctly as he should have. 1t is
also due to the fact that many scor-
ers never have had practical base
ball experience. and do not know
that a fielder would have to be in
Simultaneous in moving and might
not be able to field a sneak bound
properly if he were instantaneous.
The ball may seem to be comm e
directly for the knees, and without
the slightest warning. because there
is only the flash of a ray of light

to show the fielder what is happen
ing, take an upward slant and go
above the fielders knees. 1t is quite
as likely to slide away just as vici-
ously from the ground contact and
go below the players knees and hit
him on the shins. There never has
been a ball player and there is not
likely to be one for a long. long
time who can play a sneak bound
with any success. For that reason
the scorer should give that type of
grounder as a base hit in his tabu-
lation.
Bear in mind that most of these
sneak bounds originate on hard-h
balls. Now and then there is one
which is batted SLOWLY and with little
force which will sneak as If it were
hot one" but that will be the
exception. 1t is easier to tell. there

Manager killefer is lucky TO have
brilliant youngsters on his staff this
year. One is George Grantham. whom
the Cubs purchased from Omaha for
$4,000 He is the class of the re-
cruits and appears destined to be one
of the stars of the team. He came
to the Cubs as a third baseman. but
is having no trouble in playing Sec
ond alongside Charlie Hollocher. In
the exhibition games he has showed
no is able to go to both sides with
ease he throws we'll and is a lusty
swinger at the plate. Much work is
being done on him by the coaches and
II he lives up to expectations the
club will have succeeded in plugging
up one of the holes.
Third Base Is Puzzle.
Third base is the real puzzle. Ber-
ME Friberg, determined and ambi-
tious, is trying 10 convince his man
q ger that he is good enough to stick
there In practice he fields brilliantly
and nimbly. has a strong arm and is
possessed Of agEreSSiVeneSS. His in
field experience however. is so limited
that it is uncertain whether he will
he able to stand the gaff. His hitting
has improved, so there should he no
worry on that score. In the event he
does not make good, the Cubs always
have Jack Kelleher upon whom to
rely. They have also good-looking
prospect in Bob Barrett. but he has
not had enough experience to be de-
pendahle in major league race. He
has good form at the plate and hits
powerfully. but lacks finish in his
fielding. Bobby Wallace, old time in
fielder is imparting all he knows to
Barrett and there is possibility that
before the training trip is over he may
Improve sufficiently TO be retained.
No Worry mt short.
There is no worry about short or
first base. At those two places Hol-
arc ready TO have as great year as
they had last season. Killefer has

hut he is out OF luck in having a
man of Grimes class to displace.
However killefer probably will carry
Cotter to use as a pinch hitter and
utility first baseman. and he may go
so far as to try him in the outfeld.
Only one slight fault can be found
with the Cubs outfit. Strong arms
are absent. Most OF the men are only
fair throwers Hack Miller and Ar
mold Statz. both good hitting right

has had. Cliff Heathcote is one of
the best all-around outfielders on the
team. for he can heave far and acCu-
rately. is fast, and hits well.
