don't see them stealing many bases
Yet, fellows Ike Gehringer. Lazzeri
and MeuseI who can't run nearly
as fast, are way up in the stolen
base list
The answer u.s. Of course. that base
stealing Is matter of getting away
fast-getting the jump, we say in
baseball Max Carey and Eddie Col
Inns both were great base stealers
IN their day. Yet they had only
average speed. But they knew how
to time their start and get away
IN hurry That's the thing that
counts
There were few faster men in the
league than Whitley Witt in going
from the plate to Er5t base. But
Whitley was slow as nnolasses getting
the rest Of the way around. Any
KID Ct average speed can learn to
be a good base runner if he will
keep his head up, watch the pitch
er's motion and learn to slide prop
erly. Sliding isn't as important as
it used to be, but it's still a good
thing to know. There's only one way
to learn to slide, and that's prac-
tice. Boys who really want to learn
to slide right will practice and prac-
tice. Build yourself a sliding pit
that is dig up spot with shovel
so that the ground is soft and there
is no danger Of getting hurt. Then
go out there and slide.
The greatest slider who ever lived,
Of course, was Ty Cobb Ty could
hook a bag from fifteen feet. catch
ing 1t with his toe every time and
leaving only about two square inches
Of feet for the baseman to tag
Bob NIeuseI is another good slider
So is Sam Bice.
A lot Of kids think base running
isn't important any more That's
all wrong. A good base runner is
just as valuable now as overland
maybe more So For there are not
so many Of them these days.
So my advice to young players is
don't overlook base running. AS
a start toward becoming a base
runner practice two things. One is
getting the start with the pitch. And
the other is sliding
