Young as he is, Bucher is the
Repairrnen's chief hope IL this

curves. His performance both to-

HANDLE
ALL KINDS
OFPEGS
By BABE RUTH

a first baseman has to do Is eaten
a few thrown balls, dig UP .
grounder now and then, and Al
ways be sure his foot Is on the
bag. I'm afraid some big leaguers
have that idea. too.
Tm . bear-cat at that first
bag" Joe told me. "A fellow
don't have to do anything
there"
laughed and Joe bristled up
q bit,
"WelI, what il there tough
about a first.baseman'S 3Ob?"
he asked.
knowing where to play,
and when to play there" ]
told him.
Then I explained to him what
/ thought was the toughest job a
first baseman has, and that's
playing in for q possible sacrifice
with runner on first. so he's in
position to keep the runner from
stealing and, at the same time,
is ready to grab the bunt and get
a force play at second, If possible.
The picture illustrates what I
mean. Notice that ! have Joe
Just a step or two inside the line
and well in toward the grass. In
case of bunt down the first
base line he's ready to pounce on
the ball and, with a single motion,
throw either to second (if he has
time to get the runner there) or
to first, where the second base
man will be covering.
Another tough play that a first
haseman has to make Is fielding
a ground ball and tossing to first
when the pitcher covers the bag.
Making that throw is an art and
even in the big leagues there are
some first basemen who can't
make the play. On that play q
good rule is always toss the bali
underhand and without any wrist
snap. Aim at the bag and time
your throw to reach the bag so
the pitcher can take the ball as
his foot hits the sack.
A first baseman must work
in perfect understanding with
both the pitcher and the sec
Ond baseman, particularly on
slow ground balls hits down
between first and second.
On balls like that the first
baseman takes them wherever
possible and the pitcher Gov.
erS first. On slow hit balls
down the first base line the
first baseman, playing In,
takes the hall and the second
baseman covers first.
The first test of a good first
baseman is his ability to handle
wide throws, throws over his
head, and throws in the dirt. A
first baseman who can do this
is a great help to his infield-
for the infielderS have confidence
in him and will cut loose with q
quick throw.
Here's a thing for first base
man to remember too. On high
pop flys to the left of the pitcher
or down the first base line the
first baSeman should take them
whenever possible. He thus saves
the catcher and pitcher that
extra work but there's another
advantage too. With men on
bases the first baseman can take
such fly balls and be in position
the minute the catch is made to
see the entire infield and make
a play at whatever other base a
play may be possible.

 Disorder On Americans

Rome, Sept. s P}-The Fascist newspaper I'll Tevere,' discussing the Argentine revolution today, blamed the disorder on the United States. and' said Latin America. should be reorganized 'undisturbed by the famous Monroe Doctrine
 The newspaper expressed doubt whether the Latin American repub-, lies hardly emerged from a govern- ment of the colonial or .feudal type,' had shown wisdom in modelling their state administration on that of the United States.
 In particular, the Il Tevere criticized South American nations for initiating their northern neigh bor in concentrating so much power in the presidents hands. The paper believes a president would be likely to abuse the power against which no defense is possible without armed insurrection.' The uneasi- ness in Latin America, the paper believes, is born of a sentiment of political impotence mixed with a consciousness of the possibility of autonomy, which the contingent doubtless possesses.
