That means you must do consid-
cradle hustling. Make your fast
move on your feet in getting the ball.
IT is up to you to figure where the
batter is likely to hit and then just
shade him a trife. By this l mean
to have stride on him when he
leaves the plate for first base so that
you won't have to hurry your throw
too much. u
Always remember to try to get the
jump on the batter. You will have
to learn to do so II you are to make
any sort of mark as a shortstop
Fast men, as general rule, are not
hard hitters. They are of what is
known as the slap type. They hit
the ball more with their forearm
than with the shoulders.
In many respects they are more
dangerous than the free-swinging
are to an infielder. They have various
ways of getting on first, such as slap
ping the ball just over the infeld, rap
ping a fast hopper or rolling slow
one toward the shortstop.
. Learn to be everlastingly on your
toes when a hitter of this type is at
the plate. His bat is generally loaded
with dynamite for the unwary short
stop, particularly so If the batter is
leftnanQeQ.
Take the case of a slow roller hit
in your territory. You have to pick
the. ball up while on the run. This
is considerable of an art lin itself
But let US say you are quick and deft
at such task Sure handling of the
ball will not alone be enough If the
runner is speedy. You must learn to
throw we'll to first while in motion
There Is no chance for you to get
set to make your throw on this sort
of chance. In fact, 1t will be
necessary for you to get the bal
away without Strengthening up even
let alone pulling up much in your
stride 1t is on such chances thai
accuracy in throwing plays such a
big partw
Youngsters will do well to develor
an underhand throw on these chances
There is no other way they can ge,
the ball away fast without straigh

TILDEN Is DOUBLE
WINNER IN TOURNEY

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March I'll
William T. TiIden. national champion,
added more laurels to his tennis
crown and cups to his collection by
winning in both the singles and
doubles finals in the Southeastern tennis
tournament this afternoon.
In the singles. Tilden disposed of
Vincent Richards, Olympic champion,
and second ranking national star, 7--5.
6-1, "a. In the doubles. Tilden paired
with A. H. Chaplin. jr.. of Springfield,
Mass, defeated Jack Caldwell of At
lanta, Southern champion. and S. Rob-
ertson of Greenville, S. c., Ga. 6-4,
-.
The big Philadelphian was playing
at top form and drew applause time
after time after smashing unreturn-
able drives. Richards forced the
champion to play at top speed and
the match brought many brilliant
voIIeys and much clever court work.
Richards paced the champion in the
first set and ran up a lead of AZ by
breaking through Tilden's service.
Tilden, however, took the next two,
Squaring the set at 4-all. From there
it went to five-all and then Tide n
took the next two games, and the
set Tilden ran through a string OF
five straight games in the second set
before Richards was able to take
a game. Richards won the; sixth
game of his own serve, and Tilden
. won the seventh and the set
Richards carried the last set to
three-all, then dropped the seventh
and eighth games. won the ninth and
lost the set and match to Tilden on
the tenth game.
Caldwell and Robertson battered
Chaplin sufficiently to carry all three
of their sets to narrow margins. but
Chaplin frightened on decisive games
placing backhand and forehand
drives to advantage. Tilden broke UP
a lobbing attack staged by the two
Southerners with deadly kills from
all positions.

! ening up. You will lose q couple of
strides on the runner If you have TO
pull your body up before throwing
the ball. You will learn what that
means in game before you have
played the shortstop's position long.
In making an underhand throw
while in motion be sure to allow
| few feet for the ball to carry in to
| the first hasernan. In other words,
aim for a mark a bit to his right.
| When you field a ball and have to
| toss to the second baseman, don't fail
to keep the ball up high. toss
| around the knees makes for danger.
| A shortstop has considerable work
| to do back of the base hne. He has to
take short flies back of second and
| third, very often, and in the territory
| between the two stations. II you and
the second baseman go after a short
| fly to center say, coach him on the
play. He should do the same thing
| for you.
BY this I mean let him know
whether you are sure you can get
the ball or whether you believe he
| should accept the chance. In plays
| from the outfield you are supposed to
handle the ball when thrown by the
| left fielder. Keep in a good line with
| the play and know the position o5
| the runners. Like the second base
man, you must always know before
hand what you should do with the
ball when you get 1t. Being com
| PEELED to decide what is the proper
| play after the ball reaches your hands
means big advantage for the oppos-
| ing team.
The shortstop must work well with
| his second baseman. Each is the
| complement of the other. Figure out
/ plays together whenever possible
Don't be afraid to tell each other
what you think is likely to happen.
Coach each other all you can. Such
tactics will make for smoother and
more effective infield play.

 Up at Snug Harbor MT. and Mrs. Bell are living in comfort, Mr. Bell having added another room to his al- ready large home. A visit to the Bell home is one never to be forgot ten. Situated in grove of quaking- asp, it's white walls glistening in the sun through the trees, it is home of peace and quiet, the most beautiful spot on the lake. Mrs. Bell is mak- ing wonderful improvements to the grounds, having planted rose bushes along the paths, and with the natural flowers which grow there, will soon have the place looking like a park.
 Situated at Snug Harbor are the homes of several old pioneers, and further back on the hillside large fox ranch rears it's walls.
 Fishing at the lake is unusually good this summer, large lake trout and Whitefish being caught off the wharf at Snug Harbor.
 Down in the Russian River Country the weather is glorious, being unusu- ally warm during the day time, with cool nights. The flies are not very bad this year, and the fish are just as hungry as ever, probably more so, for in the words of one of our old timers, you have to stand behind bush to bait your hook" The best trout fishing to be had is up at the canyon, below the Bishop place. trout being caught there twenty-seven l lICuC0 1OUSs A pdICS OL AnC1OI dSO fishermen returning from there after two days trip, brought back with them 25O pounds of Rainbow trout, all of them large size.

French Air Pilots Anxious
 To Make Atlantic Flight

PARIS, July IT. (P)-Paul Taras- con, French lace" and pioneer in pre-war flying in Europe, has been bringing all the pressure he can to bear on M. PainleVe at the war of flee and M. Laurent Eynac of the aeronautic department to enable him to make his proposed nonstop flight across the Atlantic this summer.
 Tarascon, who lost a leg before the World War and had difficulty in getting into the service, will be accompanied by another skilled air pilot, if the flight is made, Francois Coli, a naval officer who accompa- nied Roget on his France-Rumania flight and on his "stunt trip" of crossing the Mediterranean twice in one day.
 It is planned to start the flight toward the end of July, provided the necessary government authorization can be obtained, leaving from Le Bourget airdrome, just outside of Paris, and making the jump to Nit chel Field on Long Island. The French air authorities are counselling the two pilots to take off from Ireland or nearer the French coast than Le- Bourget, and to aim for Newfound- land as first landing place. Taras- con and Coli, however, persist in maintaining the flight can be made without a landing and are demand ing a fair chance to prove it.
 The plane they intend to use is one Breguet "Paris-Tokio" model made famous by Captain Pelletier D'Oisy on his flight year ago. The engine will be either the Hispano-Suiza or the new Renault.
