CBY BILLY EVANS)

"Lu Blue has q great chance tc lead the American league in stolen
 bases this year"
 Manager George Moriarty of the Detroit Tigers was the speaker. Lu Blue, his crack first sacker. had just stolen third base. A beautiful hook slide enabled him to avoid the touch.
 Before the era os swat in baseball,
 National leagues in stolen bases was
 much coveted honor 1 In 1915, Tyrus Raymond Cobb, having one Of his greatest years, pill fered 96 sacks to show tho way to the rest of the American league speed merchants.
 4 few years later Babe Ruth changed the entire scheme of base ball with his big black bat. Instead Of contest of science, in which one run at q time was eagerly sought.
 baseball became a slugfcst in which
 brute strength made the one run style of play obsolete. Base running since then has be- come more or less a lost art as q
 prominent factor in winning big league ball games. Last season Johnny Mostil led the American
 league with B stolen bases while lIazon Cuylcr was high in the Ma tional with the same number.
 Base running is due to be revived in the majors this year. I am in- clined to think Detroit will make much use of the great speed it possesses. Manager Moriarty has always been a firm believer in smart ] base running.
 Since Lu Blue stole only '3 bases
 last year. the belief of his manager that he has Q great chance to lead i the American league in stolen bases, will probably come as a great sur
 prise. Of an inquisitive turn of
 mind, I asked why and got this reply:
 "Blue is fast, has a deceptive slide,
 -cts into his stride quickly and has
 brains Those are four Of the six 1 il'tfSStt IfIIlStlfS or EOOI DaSc runner. The others are the ability to acquire a good lead and be able 10 break with tho pitch. "Once Blue learns tho knack Of
 getting the break, he is going to sur prise with his ability to steal bases. Incidentally, he will improve in all other features Of smart base run ming which. after all, is making the hest possible use of the speed you possess.
 "keen your cyc on Lu Rlue this year Watch him Step.' Tn most of tho training camps 1 little or no time is spent In at l tempting 10 improve the base run ming Of the athletes. In this respect tho Detroit Tigers differed. An hour or more was spent each day in learning the tricks Of base running The steal is only one Of the many
 bases" says Noriartv. T seek tc make the Tigers q club that will take as well as make the breaks on tho bases"
 Blue prior to his major league 1 debut was rated n crack base run ncr. Tn 1919 with Portland in tho Coast league he stolc A bases. lIis best ma for league record is 1A.
