Grandstand Plays

I have seen players we'll ad-
vanCed in professional ball
who could not resist the tempta-
ton now and then to maze
what we always called a grand
stand catch. They had got into
the habit as boys and it showed
itself every now and then, in
spite of calldowns that they got.
I have looked at boys prac-
ticing and it is always easy to
spot the fellow who has that
fancy stuff on his mind. OF
course it does not make much
difference in practice but there
is danger that a fellow who
goes in for it then will do the
same in a ball game.
When your hands are cupped
together the ball can hit on
either hand and slide right into
the cushion made by the
thumbs and forefinger. Even
if your hands are not set just
right the ball IS likely to stick.
BUT when you put up only
one hand the catching space
is greatly reduced and if the
bali hits on either side it is
likely to turn the hand around
and get away. There never
was a ball player in all the
history of the game who was
as sure a catch with one hand
as he was with two.

BASEBALL
LESSONS
Catching With One Hand and TuUo Hands,

There is one fault that is
quite common with boys and I
cannot be too emphatic in warn
ing against it. 1 mean the
tendency to use only one hand
in making a catch. There is
one safe rule to follow in your
fielding and you will save many
a ball game if you follow it.
This is the rule:
Never try to make a catch
with one hand if it is possible to
get two on the ball.
will admit that many a big
league ball player uses one hand
a lot in making catches. This
practice, particularly by first
basemen, has led many a young
fellow to believe that certain
plays call for one hand and
others for two. I have received
letters from boys asking me
what plays should be made
with only one hand.
And I always give the advice
that 1 gave just above. Use
tw ohands wherever possible.
Now for an explanation of the
big leaguers using one hand.
Some players have practiced so
much with the gloved hand
that they are as sure with one
hand as they would be with two.
But this is the result of years OF
practice. You know a first base
man has to do so much reach
ing in handling all sorts Of
throws that he becomes quite
an expert with that gloved
hand.
You see such a play in a game
and it looks all right to you.
But if the ball gets away. That
is where the manager comes in.
If the first baSeman misses a
ball trying for it with one hand
and the manager knows that he
could have used two hands he
will hear about 1t and donJ
think he won't.
So it is with any other player
on big league club. Now and
then a ball is hit to him or
thrown his way in such q way
that his best chance of making
a play is to take it in his glove.
In such cases it is all right and
the experienced ball player acts
instinctively on such plays. The
habit 1 am condemning is that
of taking ordinary throws or
batted balls in the glove when
there is no reason for keeping

or an outfie!der the same rule
applies. Two hands are better
than one. l have seen in
fielders around second base
who were adept at taking a
throw in their glove and switch
ing the ball down with one
motion on a man who was
stealing.
But that like relying so
much on the glove in working
around first base, takes some
years to master. 1t is a bad
play for youngsters to attempt.
And furthermore. you will never
see the sane infielders trying
to catch q batted ball in the
gIoved hand if it is possible
to get both hands on the ball.
Stick to two hands and you
will be better ballplayer.
Use one hand only when it is
impossible to get the other in
the play.

GRANT HEADS
SEEDED LIST

HAVERFORD, Pa, June "a
Bryant Grant, 20-year-old captain
of the University of North Caro-
lima tennis team, heads the
seeded list of more than IS col
Iege racquet stars in the forty
sixth annual intercollegiate ten
mis- tourney which got under way
on the grass courts of the pic
turesque Merton Cricket Club
here today.
Although ranked fourth in the
seeding, Wilbur Junior" Coen,
diminutive young star of the
Davis cup competition, is looked
upon as the most serious OBJ
stacle in Grants quest for the
title, won last year by Clifford
Sutter, Tulane University star.
Both youths played their
first seasons on their college
teams, Grant being a sophO-
more at North Carolina, and
COen second year man at the
University of Kansas.
Grant is one of the steadiest
players in this vicinity, and his
knack of return shots proved
Coen's undoing when the pair
met last week in the quarter
finals of the Delaware State
lawn tennis championships.
The North Carolinian won in
straight sets. Later Grant Was
eliminated by Berkeley Bell, who
later lost to Wilmer Allison in

LOCALS ROUT
RICHMOND
PLAYERS
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON


The most striking feature of
the Woodmont Country Clubs
rout of the Lakeside Club, of
Richmond, in their golf matches
over the Bethesda MdO course,
was the remarkable low scoring
of the victors.
Woodmont is not noted for eX-
cellent golfers, Max Weyl, the
club champion, and Howard
Nordlinger alone approaching
that grade. This pair would
probably gain prominence if they
played more often and partici-
pated in the various tournaments.
However, their golf is confined
only to Sunday.
Nevertheless, five of the Wood
mont players turned in scores OF
81 or better yesterday and had
they scored so brilliantly in their
own clubs invitation at least
four would have gained qualify
ing berthS in the first flight.
The five were Max WPyl,
Howard Nordlinger, William G.
IIlch, Leopold V. Freudberg
and Robert Baum.
Weyl was best of the day on
both sides with a 78. nine over
par. Illch and Freudberg reg
iStered sos, Nordlinger Carded
81 and Baum 80. The sos posted
by Illch and Freudberg repre-
sented their best golfing work
this season.
Takes Three Puts
Illch might have tailed a 78
had he not ran afoul of trap
on the sixteenth and taken a 6
instead of a par 4. His recovery
from the trap was weak and he
required three puts, besides.
DR.. Melville B. Fischer was
another Woodmont member over
joyed because he managed to
break 80 in his match with Jimmy
Galeski, of the visitors. Galeski
in endeavoring to negotiate DR..
Fischer's stymie on the fourteenth
green, knocked DR.. Fischer's ball
in the cup for a par 8. This was
the stroke of good fortune, as it
later developed, which permitted
DR.. Fischer to shave 80.
The scoring indicates material
is developing within the Wood.
mont Club and that perhaps it
will have more than meager
representation in its invitation
tournament next year.
Maurice Strause was low for
Lakeside with 80. It was his i'll
luck to draw Freudberg and they
finished all even, splitting the
points.
Cohen Splits With Hahn
Jimmy Cohen, who starred as
a track athlete at Georgetown
University Jay back in 1907,
came home in AZ to break even
with Gil Hahn, of the local team.
Jimmy must have thought he
was running in the century over
that last nine holes, judging by
the hot pace he set.
The Woodmont golfers won yes
terday's individual matches, 81
to is, and swamped their Rich
mond rivals, IA to 4. in the best
ball foursomes on Saturday.
Mrs. Jerome Meyer, captain
Of the WOodmOnt women golf
ers, led her team to a sweep
ing victory over the Lakeside
feminine players on both days.
They won, ~ to Az, on Sat.
