ID,
Now Wild again is fighting for his
place in the big league sun, with
the outcome of his fight very uncer-
tain He made himself a 800 batter
while with the Nationals last season,
vet even that may not earn him job
with the world champions again.
Wild firmly believes that breaking in
is one thing, but sticking is some
thing else again.
So far. Wild has not been very prom
inent as a participating player in
competition. He has not been In con-
tests any great length of time. but
his fiery spirit has been a great as
set. His shrill voice has sounded the
-allying call frequently whenever the
Nationals have fsltered and the team
has responded gallantiy and generally
with considerable effectiveness.
He got into the game at st. Peters
burg yesterday when the Nationals
were beaten, to 1, by the Braves,
only as A pinch batter. but was eN-
pected to get a deal of action in the
encounter scheduled here this after
noon with the Reds. Wild is quite
ready to play. He appears in much
better physical condition than when
he came to the Nationals from the
Milwaukee Brewers last June. and
has been doing well in training here.
Was Sick at Sacramento.
Wild is quite anxious for a chance
10 demonstrate that his work with
Sacramento, which club he went to
last August as part payment for Earl
McNeely, was not what may ordt-
narily be expected Of him.
when I joined Sacramento Wild
declared, II was almost peppered
with boils, but / was afraid to tell
7 rrrVNa
team of my condition. l feared they
might charge me with stalling, know
ing that ! had come from big
league outfit with a guarantee of
continued big league salary. 1 just
stepped on the field and did all l
could in the way Of playing.
And that certainly was not very
much then. l had boils under my
arms and could not swing a bat de-
Gently, nor throw at all. And my
system was made so poor by the
eruptions that practically all of my
speed was gone. 1t was painful
time for me, | can tell you, and the
club was so far down in the race that
after short time the manage
ment did not seem to care what be-
came of any other than an old regu-
lar player SO l went out before the
season ended.
But l am in fine shape now and
know I can play some good base
ball All ! want is chance to
prove it, and I believe Manager Harris
Will give me that. l know / must
fight much harder than ever to get
berth with the Washington club
this year. but l do not think any one
can accuse me of being a gutter. l
am prepared to fight to more than
make good in this my third time
with the big show"
And Wild will have to fight, too.
There are seven outfielders with the
Evening star., 1925-03-18

AT the same time it is highly de-
sirable to learn the style of slide used
by the members of an opposing team.
You want to have a pretty good idea
how the man coming down is going
to get into the bag after he hits the
dirt. If you don't he is liable to get
away from you even If you get the
ball in time and have ample oppor-
tunity to put it on him. knowledge
of base runners Is as necessary to a
second sacker as knowledge of hit
ters The only way to acquire it, in
both cases, is by close study and OBJ
servation. Keep your eyes open all
the time in a game. You will pick up
a surprising amount of information
that will be extremely valuable to
you later on.
You can't afford to be spike shy and
play second base. No runner will de-
liberateIy cut an infielder. but you
must rem ember that he isn't going to
get out of the path for you. He
is entitled to 1t. and when he comes
whirling into the bag he is doing his
best to hook it with toe or finger.
1t is necessary for the second base
man to take some chances in tagging
runner. But they are fewer than
one would think if he will study the
different slides of the various men
against whom his club plays By so
doing he is prepared to know about
when and where to put the ball on
his man.
If the ball comes to you from the
catcher as a bad throw grab 1t and
make dive for the runner. Lots
of times you will get him that way.
He may have figured the peg for an
erratic one and slowed up just a frac
tion of a second in getting into the
bag. You can often nip him by that
much of a margin.
When the throw to your base is so
bad that you can't field it with your
hands, block the ball with your body.
Don't hesitate about throwing your
self in the path of even a hard peg.

So far as the Nationals are con-
cerned, the Braves are Spring world
champions. The Boston aggregation
wound up its two game series with
the Washingtonians yesterday with
an easy victory to sweep the inter-
club matches. AS the second game
was played, the Nationals never had
A look-in. They fielded brilliantly,
but one of their three pitchers plain
against big leaguers, and their batting
was almost nil
George Mogridge and Ogden made
their 1925 debut on the hill, with the
former performing bravely and the
latter generally throwing the ball
where it either was hit or called in
favor of the batter. After breezing
through two innings. Mogridge was
touched for a trio of bingles in the
third, but got out with only one run
against him, mainly through good
headwork. George worked through
a hitless fourth frame, though.
Ogden Had Nothing.
Ogden, however. seemingly had
nothing worth while to offer in the
next two innings. He yielded two
passes and was bumped for two
hagger in the fifth and twice filled
the bases in the sixth, when he was
reached for three hits, two passes and
two runs. One of the markers was
forced across the plate by Curly's
wildness. He seems to need much
more grooming before he is ready for
the championship season.
After Mogridge and Ogden got
through, J. Benson Brillheart hurled,
and his work in the seventh and
eighth innings was of the same ster-
ling character as his previous per-
formances on the slab in this train
ing campaign. Brillheart will have
10 be reckoned with when Harris be-
gins pruning his pitching corps.
However, it would have required
super pitching to win for the
Nationals. considering the way they
did not hit Two blows were CLEANED
off three Boston hurlers Southpaw
Johnny Cooney was not touched in
the first three innings. His successor,
Joe Ogrodoski, a right handler, was
found for a single by Rice in the first
of three frames of duty. Jess Barnes
rwirled in the last three rounds for
the Braves, and the right-hander was
slapped by McNeely for one -baser
in the eighth session.
Nnts Impotent at Bat.
The Nationals showed a lamentable
Harris has endeavored to increase the
length of their swatting drills the
past two days. Hitting so weakly and
with one of their pitchers so wobbly,
the world champions were fortunate
not to have suffered a more decisive
beating. Only Roger Peckinpaugh' S
agile short-flelding kept the defeat
from becoming a rout.
The Braves got to Mogridge for a
marker in the third frame that Felix
opened with a smash to left field. 1t
was only a single, but the Hub player
got to second when Goslin booted the
ball. Gibson's short single sent Felix
10 third, from where he scored when
Pinch Batter Phillips hit to right field
for q base.
A smart double play then got Mo-
gridge out of difficulty and the Ma
tionals did some more smart playing in
the next round to deadlock the game.

Nationals now and Manager Harris
does not intend to carry more than
five into the campaign. 1t is practical
ly settled now that Memo Leibold will
be retained with the regular trio,
Sam Rice Goose Goslin and Earl Nc
Neely. Matthews will have to battle
with Roy Carlyle, Southern Associa-
tion fence buster, and George Rine-
hardt, Sally League slugger, for the
other utility job.
Carlyle has not shown so much
af1eld in practice and Rinehardt ap-
pears to lack polish as an out
fielder, too, but both have revealed
much batting strength in wand drills.
Manager Harris would be very glad
to have among his reserve talent a
man who can bust that apple" in
pinches as Wade Letter, last minute
pickup, did at crucial times when
the 1924 campaign was waning. So
Wild, even with his 300 mark at
tained while with the Nationals last
year and his wonderful spirit, may
again find it difficult to stick with
the big show.

The manager of the Detroits is not
taking chances this year. He will
carry more ball players than ever.
He has an entire substitute infield,
second base; Tavener, shortstop and
Haney. third base. In his outfeId
are Wingo, Carlyle and Fothergill.
Imagine team with two first base
men like Blue and Neun, 1t seems
pity that Neun must sit on the
bench now that he has blossomed.
Yet look what. happened in 1924,
when Blue was injured. The De-
troiters were thrown out of their
stride, and to his accident, in part,
they blame their failure to win the
pennan from Washington
Needed Neun Last Year.
When Blue was hurt Cobb wired
at once to the ST Paul club to send
him Neun, thinking that the latter
had been released to ST Paul on an
option that permitted his recall at
any time. But the option proved to
be for the season. Back went wire
to st. Paul offering $4,000 for a
player who really belonged to De-
troit. But the St Paul club seemed
to be on the verge Of winning the
pennant in their league-which they
did-and declined to let Neun go
Thus Detroit had to swallow hard
and see one game and another fritter
itself away because the infeld
strength was not there.
So Neun remains with Detroit and
not only he remains but there re-
mains second baseman for a second
baseman, a shortstop for short
stop, a third baseman for a third
baseman-and if accident puts all of
| these players on the bench, Cobb will
begin to think that he is pursued by
an evil genius which will not let him
win.
A word about Tavener. He is the
young shortstop from the Fort Worth
club, which has contributed to De-
troit in the past. He isn't as big as
Rabbit Maranville, but he is spright-
ly. One day last Spring he went to
bat out in Fort Worth and one of the
newspaper men who was present
said: I'm afraid we are not going
to keep 'Tavvy' much longer, al
though he is mighty popular out
here"
His words were prophetic. "Tavvy''
has got away and from his general
manner of play looks as if he will
remain away. If Detroit should not
happen to want him, he will not get
out of the American League, he is
too good for that. In Texas they said
he was not a slugger, but he was a
hitter when there were runners on
the bases.
Has Trio of Southpaws.
Cobb has two possibly three -
southpaw pitchers for 1925, in Leon
ard, Whitehill and Cole.
Leonard will be with us all of the
season If he shows WELL" said Cobb
With him and Whitehill I have a
good pair of left-hand pitchers to

Criffs' Weak Hitting Behind
Ogden's Poor Pitching Costly

With Bucky Harris out of the way in
the fourth Rice singled to left. He
pulled up at second when Lucas FUN
to Marriott, Bluege rolled to the third
sacker, who threw to force out Goslin
at second base. The Goose was ruled
safe and while Lucas argued with Cos
lin and the base umpire Rice stole
home.
The Braves again took the lead in the
fifth that Ogden opened by walking Will
son. After Felix also was passed, Glib
son doubled, tallying Wilson. Curly
escaped further trouble until the sixth,
when a pass to Felix filled the bases
with two out. Gibsons scratch single

batting for Ogrodowski, strolled, fore
ing home Felix.
Play Indianapolis Tomorrow.
Clark Griffith's touring Nationals will
trek to Plant City tomorrow afternoon
to tackle DOME Bush's indianapolis out
fit from the American Association. Last
year the team piloted by the former
Washington manager took the measure
of his old charges, but Manager Harris
figures there may be a different ending
to this seasons setto.
Mogridge worked a smart one in
the third. With Boston runners on
first and second, Marriott attempted
to sacrifice. He pop hunted and Mo-
gridge trapped the ball and threw
to Harris, who had covered first. The
National pilot touched out the sur
Evening star., 1925-03-18

1t may hurt for few minutes, but
you will have blocked the ball. In
doing this you will be keeping the
runner from taking an extra base.
Many times just such a play will save
a close game.
The second baseman must be very
much on the watch with runners on
first and third and the stage set for
a possible double steal. This can be
tried with one out or none out If
the opposing team is playing for a
single run to tie a game or take the
lead. Be on your guard If the men on
the paths are fast or shrewd base
runners.
You will have to keep a close eye on
the man on third to figure whether or
not he is going iEto the plate. But
meanwhile you must watch the ball.
First of all you must catch it. When
you are sure you have the peg judged
properly you will know what the next
move is.
If the man on third hasn't too long a
lead off the bag your play is to get the
man coming into your station. You will
still have time to get a man at the plate,
provided he hasn't got too much of a
break on you.
If the man on third is setting sail for
home the second baseman, according to
my theory on this play, should move in.
cut the throw off and make the return
peg to the plate on the runner This
prevents the shortstop also being drawn
out of position. Some shrewd base ball
men hold that if the play Is to be made
at home the shortstop should be in mo-
ton to cut the throw off when the
pitcher delivers the ball.
This will oftentimes work success
fully but 1t must be remembered that

through and the shortstop is pulled out
of position as we'll as the second base
man, two runs are almost certain to be
scored. The play makes a fine opening
for a clever hitter
This is strategy which is used often
Evening star., 1925-03-18

in close games IL your opponents have
fast base runners. The second baseman
should learn enough about the style Of
runners to have pretty good idea when
the play is likely to be pulled. He needs
considerable instinct to do this. Real
good second basemen have to be able to
figure out a play In advance, perhaps
more than any other member of team
