The baseman who crosses his legs
to receive a throw either to one side
or the other of a base makes a mis-
take. He is not able to shift as
quickly as when he steps straight out
with the nearer foot, and he cannot
reach as far. For instance, in the
upper illustration the baseman is step
ping out to take a low throw to his
right. He is able to handle this ball
and still keep his foot on the base,
whereas. the baseman in the lower
illustration has crossed his legs and
in reaching for the ball has pulled his
rear foot off the base. AS a result
the runner is safe.

The win puts Eastern up with Cen
trail in first place In the standings,
each team having one win to its
credit. Tech and Business have a loss
apiece. Western makes it's first start
on Saturday in a contest with Central.
Beating Business on the base ball
field is not such an outstanding ac-
complishment, because, as a fan re
marked at yesterdays game, the Ste
nogS haven't had a good nine since
the Wise boys left. However, when it
is considered that Eastern's pitcher.
John Quinn, handed his opponents a
string of zeros throughout eight in
nings, and it was not until Frager
had relieved him and the inffeld
had been shuffied that Business was
able to tally, 1t appears that Eastern
may have a right fair team after all.
Yeatman, left fielder for Business,
provided the fireworks of the Stenog
raphers' rally in the final frame. An
error, q walk and hits by Arts and
Shreve sent two runs in before Yeat
rnan came to the plate with the bases
loaded He took a healthy cut and
placed the ball in left center for a
