T DON'T encourage thievery among
boys, but there is an exception
\ to every rule. The exception in
this case is stealing bases"
There has been so much slugging-
home-run hitting-in base bali the
last 10 years that the clever base
runner is almost as extinct as the
American Indian.
First there is matter of running
out everything. The infielder may
miss the grounder, or he may throw
poorly to first, or the first baseman
may miss the throw; or the catcher
may miss the third strike; or the
fielder may muff the catch of an
easy fly. If the fly is sky high run
like everything and If you see you
can go to second do so. The fielder
may muff the fly and then instead
of being out you're on second.
Learn how to round the bases on
extra base hits. Touch the corner
of the bag with the right foor and
pivot on the left, like diagram:
