GEORGE sISLER


 Manager and first baseman. St. Louis Browns: The greatest first baseman fin the game. Playing this year after year The first and greatest asset that a first baseman can have is the ability to catch every kind of thrown ball, and. do it every time. no matter whether it be a high one, wild one. low one. pick k-up, grounder, or one thrown right into his hands. No one has ever done this yet, but it Is the ideal to strive for. A first baseman that isn't sure catch Is worse than useless. 'tis
 If two hands can be used to make a catch. they should always be used but a first baseman must learn to be sure one hand catch. too. Many wild throws can be saved by q player who is clever with his gloved hand. Often, too. by reaching far out into the diamond with his gloked hand, he may make a put -out in close play where the batter would have been safe, had he waited to get the ball with both hands.

He denied that he had offered the

would be offered the weapon. He said
his visit to the United States was in
part for scientific research and in
part for rest.
Just how far Mr.. Matthews has
shared the secret of the ray with DR..
Beers is not known, and DR.. Beers
today would not discuss the matter,
but it Is certain that the physician
has been made familiar with the
properties of the ray so that he can
make Independent experiments.
The present research is being con-
Quoted in the hope that some material
may be found which will shield OF,
