Moran employed a right uppercut
effectively, also a straight right and

Shugrue at will, he could not floor

Shugrue could not stand much longer

have more men In the attack than
there are in the defense. Two play
ers can outwit one; three, two, etc.
The five-men offense was originated
to get FIVE men going against four.
This led to- the five-men defense in
order to meet this development.
Open up point from which you
can score by drawing the defense
away by threats at other points.
Pass the ballinto the open in such
a way that your player can reach It
first, either by automatic action or
by signals.
Pass the bali in such way that
your player can reach it more easily
than the opponent; If possible, so
that he is between the ball and his
opponent.
Pass the ball in such q way that
if your player is in motion he does
not need to slow up to catch the ball.
Pass it in such way that he will
be in the best possible position to
make his next move, whether it be
to throw = goal or to make another
pass. Practice the men in passing
and catching tho ball SO that it may
be passed 80 rapidly that the oppo-
nents cannot intercept it.

Big ieaguers are willing to coneede
that the prices paid for inexperienced
players are too high. and some OF
them probably never will be pa
again.
In the future it is probable ths
more effort will be made to trade il,
ball players who are not quite ready
FOR the big leagues as part considera :
ton in all player deals. If the minors
are ready TO take back the minou
players who have gone up, the big
leagues will not object because they
are relieved of the necessity of pay
ing their salaries during the season
If any minor league owner caI+
produce a second Babe Ruth IL is just
as likely that he will sell for S108, ,00G
as the original. Another Babe would
win back his salary and feed in one
year Present indications are that
Ruths are infrequent as blossoms OF,
the century plant.
Matter Of fact and roSa-ic baS,
ball men, who gather and consult be
tween seasons, still are wondering
why the St. Louis Nationals declined
to take S275,000 for HornSby when
