risk of breaking down the moment
IT takes the field. But just now the
Giants show no signs of a break
The strongest National League team
the writer has seen so far, as against
the Giants, is Pittsburgh. The C1ica-4
go Cubs appeared to be better train
ed When the writer was in California.
But calculations in regard to the
Cubs have been overthrown BY the ac-
cident to Msranville, and Pittsburgh
comes next
Pirates Are the speedfest.
OH-hand IL looks as IL Pittsburgh
had more collective speed than the
Giants. But IL does not have greater
experience, nor does it possess the
underlying power of attack that the
Giants possess. That factor will go
long way toward deciding the Ma
tional League race. If Pittsburgh
overcomes its diffidence, or backward
ness, or whatever ii has been in the
past that always manifests itself
when the fight becomes too close and
single games mean as much as paw
dirt in a. gold mine, they may steer
Giant gunboat and wreck it. But they
have got to do that. They can't beat
this veteran team, despite all their
speed, unless they can utilize that
speed to the last ounce all the time

NEW YORK. March 2i.-The first
rehearsal of what may be frequent
performance in the American League
throughout the season was held yes
terday at st. Petersburg in a game
between the Yankees and the Braves.
With the score to 4, favoring the
Braves in the last of the ninth, the
Yankees came to bat. O'Neill was safe,
but died when forced by Witt: John
Levi, the Arapahoe, dropped a double
in right. Then Ruth entered and, in
accordance with the lines of the act,
was passed. The climax of the
drama was thus left to fate, Meusel,
Pipp and the opposing pitcher. This
time Bob famed, but Pipp knocked
the poor ball on the head and his
fellow players won the game, to 5.
At Clearwater it rained on the
Robins and Buffalo was washed out
of their proposed contest. The Giants
regulars met the rockies at Sarasota
and tied.

In this connection It is wise to caution
youngsters not to neglect their batting

He may be able to get away with the

isn't doing justice TO himself or his

This is the one position on q team
where defensive strength Is OF such
vital Importance that any coach or man
ager demands first OF all an excellent
fielder. II you can fill the bill In this
respect no one will worry about your
batting average. Here is where your
defensive ability comes before your Of
fensive powers.
/ would advise all youngsters, who
show fielding ability but are weak at
bat, to try to develop themselves into
shortstops. Many boys get discouraged
because they are not able to hit as well
as their mates. Because OF this they
quit playing ball and lose a great op-
portunity for healthful, outdoor exercise
in the greatest game there Is.
Don't throw up the sponge just be-
cause you are a weak hitter. Try your
self out as r. fielder. II you have the
necessary physical and mental qualifica-
tions Of a shortstop. you owe 1t to your
self to try to develop them. Buckle
down to work. Many boys have fought
their way to places on teams because
they wouldn't say quit.
The youngster. who decides he Is
really going to try to make good as a
shortstop will do well to start in his
training by handling ground balls hit
in his direction. The speed Of these can
be varied until he acquires the ability
to handle the ball cleanly whether II be
slow or fast.
Then practice getting under infield
flies on your side OF the diamond and
going out for high ones hit just over
the base line in your territory. When
you become fairly sure Of making good
plays on such balls, start your practice
throws to frat base.
From this preliminary drill you can
go to the more difficult practice on balls
hit sharply to your right and left Then
you can gradually go ahead until you
