Professional players often play

scoring by means of a one-hand

Noessler rushes to the basket at

Il leaps from his left foot, throw
ing his right leg upward in order
to convert his forward momentum
into upward momentum, as the
higher the player, gets the closer
he is to the basket. Consequently,
dropping the ball in for a field
goal is easier.
The ball is raised with both
hands, then the right hand holds
it In order to get greater eleva-
ton. The ball is pushed upward
and over the near rim of the
basket.
This play is one of the most
effective for scoring in the game.

Superstitions and Oddities
Among Players Are Easily
Explained, Asserts Collins
TwENTY.oNE YEARS OF BASE BALL
BY EDDIE COLLINS.
XII. sUPERSTITIONs.

To the fans some players are super
stitfous and others eccentric. Most OF
these oddities are easily and logically
explained, though in practice they
have their funny side.
They usually are the resulf~of some
action, attitude or incident that was
connected with a play in game that
proved successful The player notices
ii himself. or has his attention di-
rected to it, and right there one more
superstition" takes its place In the
long catalogue that amuses the fans.
For instance: You couldn't find q
more sensible fellow In a days walk
| than Joe Sewell. Joe is not only a
great player, but an educated gentle
man with a we'll developed sense of
humor, but he would no more go
out to practice without touching third
base on the way than he would at
tempt to play without his glove, and
he makes the journey to the bench
aftef. the practice via the home plate,
which insures him at least one run in
that game.
why Players Pair on.
Toward the close of batting practice
for the visiting team fans will see
the home team on the side lines toss
ing the ball and warming up. II they
that certain players always warm up
together. This does not apply to all,
but to many. The answer is that the
day they first happened to work out
together they did well, either made
two or three hits, pulled good field
ling play or something of the sort. So
even after, that pair works together
in practice If they have had bad
days they are certain it is not the re-
suit of practicing together.
That is the reason they are SO par
ticuIar about the bats. A man may
have two or three bats exactly alike,
as far as one can see, but the owner
has made a long hit with one of them
and the Lord help the wretch who
NEEDLES with that bat thereafter.
An odd fancy, comparable to
| Sewells, is that of Connie Mack. He
selects certain spot on the bench
and under no circumstances will he
move therefrom during the game, not
even to get a drink of water of a hot
! day, lest he queer the AS.
