Ossic BIuege's triple in the ninth
probably would have been a homer on
a field with fast base paths. But the
fleet National was fortunate to make
three bases over the sandy route he
had to travel.
Rice played a spectacular game in
right field. He had to cover terri
tory ankle-deep in sand, but came
through with four startling catches.

The first baseman should also field
every bunt that he can. Let the
pitcher or second baseman cover the
bag on such plays. You are better
average pitcher and you also have
the ability to get the ball away
quicker. This counts for much If
there is a fast man going down the
base path. If you figure you can't
field the bunt. get back on the bag
and be set for the toss from the
pitcher or catcher.
Must Get Good Start.
If there are runners on the bases
you will find it good thing to break
down the base line with the runner
on first as the pitcher delivers the
ball. In this way you will do much
to plug the big hole between first
and second IL the batter is trying to
hit behind the runner. 1t also puts
your second baseman in a better po-
sition and tightens up the defense
considerabl
1 have pointed out the necessity of
timing throws to second base when
the man covering is In motion. You
must remember that your duty
doesn't end when you field the ball
perfectly. You have to complete the
play on the runner at the advance
base. Try always to make it as easy
as possible for the man receiving the
ball.
You should be able to take all in
field flies between the pitchers box
and your station and most of the
foul flies hit to right. You are in a
better position than the catcher to
get the latter because you are COM
ing in and have a better line on the
ball. The catcher has to take 1t over
his shoulder.
If the batter makes clean hit to
left and rounds first base in an effort
to reach second, it is UP to the first
baseman to get In line with the
throw from the outfield. BY so back
ing UP the base he can prevent the
runner taking an extra base in the
event of the throw being a bad one.
When men are on first and third
with none out the first baseman
should make the play at the plate
on a ball hit to him. He must play
to stop the run, Of course. But with
one out and runners in the same po-
sitions, the first sacker should try for
a double play via second base. Get
the ball away and get back to the
bag.
