BOYS CLUB
Conducted by ROBERT C. MCCLELLAN
BY JACK DUNN.

seven-Time Pennant Winner at Baltimore.
\ T takes more than a good arm, a
good pair of legs or a keen pair
OF eyes to play base bali as the
stars play it. One of the greatest
defensive teams in the history of
base ball was the Chicago Cubs
managed by Frank Chance. The
Cubs had a fine system, and that
same system is used by many teams
today.
One Of the defensive measures used
when a runner was on first and no.
body out is here outlined:
1t is almost certain that the side
at bat will elect to sacrifice. The
second basenian edges toward first
and the shortstop plays near second,
leaving first and third basemen free
to help the pitcher field the bunt and
try to force the runner, at second,
where shortstop will cover the bag.
But tho batter may switch to the
hit and run with no one out, and
pretty near always he will on one out.
Suppose he is right-handed hitter.
The catcher calls for fast one, which
means the batsman will hit toward
the area covered by she second base.
man. The second baseman is looking
for the ball because the catcher's sig
nal has been relayed to every man ON
the team, and every man is watching
for just that sort of play.

Boss Bucky does not intend TO work
any of his athletes too strenuously
these days. For this reason Roger
Peckinpaugh and Goose Goslin were
taken out Of the lineup after the
Nationals had sewed up the game
yesterday. Buddy Myer and Tex
Jeanes assumed the tasks left by the
regulars.
Bucky Harris turned In the niftiest
fielding play of the opener Of the Chi
soX series when he shared Crouse's
grounder in the ninth and threw out
the batter. The ball had sped by
Judge at a great clip, but Bucky scam

one OF the features was the walk
ing drill staged by the freshmen.
The first number was q dramatic
game, "The Gnomes," depicting q
scene in which little gnomes with
twisted feet pursued and overcame a
stranger carrying a sack of gold.
The drill is very effective for strength
ening the muscles of the feet and
ankles. The second part of the walk
ing drill was especially attractive. 1t
was called "an analytical study" and
requires considerable muscular con-
troll, as well as a keen sense of
rhythm. The students moved very
slowly at first, executing the correct
walking step in such o. manner as to
give the effect of a sloWmotion movie.
The pace was increased by stages
until they moved at rapid gait.
Among the dance numbers were
"Sleigh Bells" q clog; Butterflies, q
folk dance; "Tourdione," q particu-
larly charming French dance; "Old
Rustic" an English peasant dance,
and Catherine Peascods," a British
country dance.
Cartwheels, somersaultls, leap frog,
ladder climbing and German horse
work were included among the ap-
paratus numbers, which had all the
variety of q three-ring circus.
The basket ball game between the
Freshman squad, winners of the 1925
series and an all "E' team, picked
from the school, was Won by the lat
ter, 27 to II. The Freshmen led up
through the first quarter, but the
'Es" caught up and passed them be-
fore the final whistle sounded. Imo-
gene Stockett referred the game.
Mrs. Virginia Woodin, Miss Stockett
and Miss f. FoSdiclS are the three di-
rectors responsible for the signal sue
cess of the exhibition which repre-
sented several months Of intensive
drilling for the dance numbers and
constant practice with their gym
classes in apparatus work.
Helen Ryan was awarded honorable
mention for having attended gym
nasium classes for eight semesters
without missing one lesson.

BY taking an S-to-5 drubbing yester-

high school base ball race to Eastern

Both teams played loosely and
errors were frequent on both sides.
Tech threw away two runs in the sec

Hile clouted what appeared to be a
homer. Schofield failed to touch the
bag when rounding third and was
called out.
Nelson Jett opposed Ed Marosy on
the mound at the start Of the fray.
Jett went tho route, allowing five
hits, walking three and tanning
eight. Marosy, however, gave way
to Shreve at the end Of the sixth.
George Yeatman's homer in the
sixth was his second for the series.

President Griffith is overlooking no
opportunity to get seasoned pitchers
for the Nationals. He has put in a
claim for Art Nehf, southpaw, put on
the waiver list by the Giants. Griff' s
claim, though, is listed below those Of
seven National League and six Amer
lean League clubs. The Nationals
dickered with the Giants for Nehf In
Florida this year, but negotiations
ended after Dutch Ruether left the
hold-out ranks.
Commissioner Landis' opinion on
the Washington clubs responsibility
in the Cowboy Jones case is awaited
by Griffith, who put the matter up to
the Judge early this week. After he
hurt his hand while playing with
Birmingham, Jones was turned back
by that club to the Nationals. The
Barons are expected to pay Jones
salary for six weeks after the acci-
dent, in accordance with a minor
league custom, but Griff wants to
know whether they will continue TO

burden will fall upon his club.

rhythmically to the strains of subdued

Of wand drill, folk dances, an Indian

The occasion was the annual field

No better way could be conceived
for developing muscular control, per
