JOHN WARD, CAPTAIN
OF OLD GIANTS, DIES

AUGUSTA, Ga, March 5.-John M.
Ward, one-time captain of the New
York Giants, died at a hospital here
yesterday afternoon at 4:45 o'clock.
He celebrated his sixty-fifth birthday
yesterday. The veteran base ball
player was spending the Winter sea-
son here.
He was one of the great infielders
of the old Giants, playing shortstop
and second base as captain of the
world champion teams of 1883,
when Jim Mutrie was manager.
His infield partners in those years
included Roger Connor, Daniel Rich
ardson and Arthur w. Whitney. The
pitchers included Henry (Hank)
O'Day, now one of the National
Leagues best known umpires, and
Tim Keefe. Jim O'Rourke played in
the outfield
In 1888 Ward led the Giants to a
world victory over ST. Louis in six
out of ten games and the next year
conquered Brooklyn in six out of
nine.

when team has pitcher working g
who knows how to handle himself
when the opposition tries the bunting
game every one plays with more con-
hdence. Frequently players will say,
We've got an extra infielder in there
today" meaning that the pitcher can
be counted upon to handle many balls
which otherwise would fall to the lot
of the inf1elders. Eddie Rommel of the
Athletics was a pitcher of this type.
In fact, all the really successful
twirlers, whether amateurs or pro-
fessionals, come in the same class.
1t is most essential for a winning
team to have a good fielding pitcher.
There have been big league twirlers
shunted back to the minors simply
because they couldn't field their posi-
tions.
A pitcher can often save a tight
game by a good fielding play. If he
has learned how to handle bunts prop
erly he can often break up the at
for one run. He has plenty of field
ing as well as pitching work to do in
game. He can ruin a well pitched
game and spoil the efforts Of his
teammates by one badly executed
fielding play. No one can be q well
rounded pitcher without also being
considerable of an infielder
A pitcher should field every ball hit
in the infie1S that he can reach in
advance of the inflelders. Every time
ball is hit toward first base the
pitcher should make a break for the
bag and keep. on going unless he is
waved away by the first baSeman. He
should cover the bag on a bunt, when
the first baseman comes in to handle
the hall and be set to take the throw
Watch your first baseman and forget
about the runner.
Backing up the bases is an impor-
tant item in the education of a pitcher.
1t is very essential for the man in
the box to back up third base when
the BALL is hit to the outf1eld with a
man on first base. He should be there
also if there are men on first and Sec
ond. He can prevent the possibility
of the man on first scoring If the ball
gets away from the third baseman
He should back up the catcher when
a runner is on second or If there are
men on second and third. BY so doing
he can save the opposition taking an
extra base or scoring an extra run
should the ball get away from the
third baseman or the catcher. Play
far enough back to be sure to get
the ball If there is wild throw from
the outfield.
The pitcher is constantly engaging
in q battle of wits with the batter.

Collins started to hit, and in only
two seasons, 1917 and 1918, has he
fallen below the 800 mark. He batted
for 1863 in 1920. the highest average
