q better man than he ever got credit
for being. He is wonder on shifting
his feet when forced to catch wild

He always was inventing new plays
and was the first shortstop to take
a throw from the catcher and tag the
base runner while on the run. At the
bat he was a good hitter and was

Jesse Burkett was a great hitter.
fielder and base runner. He was the
greatest in control of bunting, when
the catcher used to play back, Jesse
would make the ball stop not more
than a foot, in front Of the plate. He
was SO tricky at this that all the
catchers in the league had to take
every ball off the bat when he was
up. The third baseman played in half

talked base ball.
There is no use for me to speak of
Willie Keeler. He has been on nearly
every All-American and All-National
team ever picked. He was simply a
little wizard. Poor little Keeler. ;ts
There was never another like him. He
invented most Of the batting and out-
field tricks that other ball players
still are trying to learn.

GUS and leading team in the confer
enee.
The criss-cross pass attack is de-
veloped by first playing two often
sive men against one guard, then
three against two guards, then four
against three and SO on until full
teams are in operation. Frequent
practice and constant repetition of
attempts to penetrate the defense
are essential. ~: .t.
When the man with the ball is
blocked or guarded so that further
advance is impossible, or so that his
opponent is directly in front and SO
able to intercept the pass, it is abso-
lutely fundamental that the man in
possession of the ball shall pivot be-
fore making; or while making, the
pass.
When advancing on attack, the
forwards and center must cross the
floor from side to side, obliquely
forward, The criss-cross must be
operated with the pivot and back
pass and is not sufficient in itself
TO insure a successful attack.
