TWO SOCCER TEAMS
ADD TO THEIR WINS

Walford and dGarman-American elev-
ems maintained their places at the top
of the Washington soccer loop stand
ings by trimming the Fort Myer and
German-American Reserve teams, re-
spectively, in league games played yes
terday.
British embassy and Monroe teams
failed to come to a decision in their
clash, the game ending 4-all.
The Walford hooters kept their goal
line inviolate by handing Fort Myer a
3-to-0 setback on the Soldiers field.
Watts, Walford outside left, counted
twice, and Mclean, center, added the
odd point.
Regulars of the German-American
club proved too strong for the Reserve
eleven and ran up 7-to-1 score. Byer-
lin scored three goals, Koennel two
and Meinhardt and Wolfe added one
each for the winners. Herrlinger
counted for the Reserves.

If Cobb was not tipped off by the
position of the head. shoulders, hands,
arms, elbows or hips, then he watch
ed the pitchers feet. The pitcher
may hide his intentions above the
ankles. but he cannot hide them be-
low. He has to move his feet to
throw, and his feet will move before
he releases the ball. Cobb knew this
and so he watched the feet when he
could not do better by watching an
other part of the body. That was
how Cobb could get his long leads.
His quick start either way enabled
him to get back safely If the ball was
thrown TO the fielder or to beat the
catcher's throw If the ball was deliv-
cred to the batter.
Few Good at Sliding.
The present flock of base runners
has not given this same study to the
pitchers, nor have they practiced
sliding enough. There are few good
men today when it comes to sliding.
They can slide, of course, but they
lack the elusiVeness that sliding is
given by long and hard practice.
II the players studied the various
moves of the different pitchers with
men on bases they could readily de-
tect their intentions. Babe Adams,
for instance. uses two different and
distinct poses. When he intends
pitching to the batter he has one
pose and when he is going to throw
the ball to a base occupied by a run
ner he has another pose. Ii is easy
to tell what Adams intends TO do. 1t
is comparatively easy to tell what
most pitchers intend.
George Moriarty, who was never
fast, was still one of the best base
runners | have seen. | do not be
lieve any man ever stole home as
many times as Moriarty In the same
number of seasons. Moriarty was a
close student of pitchers. He knew
their every move. He always had a
long lead lie was as good going off
second base and stealing third as he
was going off first and stealing sec
ond. He stole home at least six
times when his steal meant victory
for his team. The most sensa tional
steal ! saw Mortarty make was dur

last half of the ninth saw the teams
battling with the score tied. Wright

that the contract he had with F'itZ-

not absolutely lost his mind would
not think of declining.
One thing about Dempsey is known
he is trying 10 hook on with two
or three battles that will put him in
shape to defend his title.
The trouble about this is set forth
III recent letter of Jacks wherein
he deplores his situation, which he
sets forth as follows:
Can't Get Fights.

This is not an enviable plight, sure
enough. 1t is the general practice OF
all champions, when they see a fight
for the title ahead of them, to take
on one or two boxers that look easy
so that they may brush up on theiI
