Touching the Bag

To answer the question which
this particular ball team argued
about I would say that the base
runner never should step on the
middle of the bag when he is
rounding it. It is all right to step
on first base that way as he races
down to beat out throw and can
keep on running in a straight line
beyond the bag without being
put out.
But if he has to swing around
first base for second, or swing
around second for third, or third
for home, he should never step on
the middle, or top of the bag.
Touching the base in the center
as you swing around might snap
your ankle.
Touch the base on the inside
corner, as you swing around it.
The Washington times., 1931-06-09

received a letter the other day
from the captain of a semipro
ball team in Western Pennsyl-
vania, asking me to settle an argu-
ment about touching the bases.
He said there had been a lot Of
discussion among his players.
Some insisted that runner
should step on the middle of the
bag and others argued that only
the corner should be touched.
The letter gave me an idea for
an article on base running. Do
not confuse this with base steal
ing. I just want to give some ad-
vice on things to be done or
avoided as a player is going
around the bases.
The Washington times., 1931-06-09

well, it is a definite conclusion
that the popular first base
guardian will not be used until
after the Fourth of July.
Judge likes the way Kuhel
has been handling himself. And
for q fellow who can see an
other taking his job away from
him every day, Judge is not
the least bit enviOus towards
the Kansas City lad.
He knows that the Griffmen
are going to need another regu-
lar to take his place sometime,
and would rather have it Kuhel
than anybody else because of the
latter's business-like play and
personality going with it.
But with Kuhel going like a
house afire, there will be many
who will cheer their heads off
when Judge finally enters the
game again. He is the idol of
the fans, all right, and rightful
one, too, because of his long and
excellent service to the Griffmen
these many years.

Fans Cheer Joe
A great cheer went up from
the stands when Judge made his
appearance. Proving that even
though Joe Kuhel is doing an eX-
ceptional job at first base, Judge
is still the popular man around
this mans baseball town.
Joe should be ready to play
by the Fourth of July, it is
thought. That day would be a
fitting one for the initial guard
ian to celebrate, wouldn't it?
Right now Judge is taking
things easy. And Johnson and
Griff want him to because they
feel that there is still plenty of
baseball left in his system and
they don't want him to incapaci,
tate himself in any way. He
could strain himself easily enough
with his side still in its healing
condition
At that, Judge could go into the
game at the present time if a
necessity presented itself, accord
ing to Judge himself and Griff,
who has followed completely Joe S
condition since his operation.

If the hit is out on the left field
side or he has lost track of the
ball then the coach can keep
him moving.
After reaching second the run
ner is always under the direc'
ton of the third base coach on
outfield drives. He should stop
or keep moving, as the coach
orders, and pay no attention to
the ball. The coach will let him
know whether he should slide
into third, or pull up because he
is in no danger. The coach also
must tell him to stop there, or try
to score.

WASHINGTON TIMES SPORTS
TIMESLEAGUE
JUMPS MEET
TOMORROW

Players and managers of the
Times Junior Baseball League
will be glad to know that begin
ming this week the full schedule
Of games for each week end will
be published in The Times on
Thursday before. This way,
every player will know for a
certainty where his team will
play, when, and whom it will
meet. This Thursday. this sched-
ule will be published in full, and
every week afterward.
The new arrangement Of
management is working out
fine. There are three main
of icers working with the
director of the league as a
board of control, and they are
making things hum.
President James Hayre is a
keen baseball league manager.
Gilbert Levy is vice president
In charge of managers. Leo
Motley is a vice president in
charge of umpireS.
All umpires are called to meet
in room 405 The Times Building,
tomorrow night, to arrange some
important things. With them are
supposed to meet the managers OF
the few teams which forfeited
games Saturday. If these man
ayers can show a good excuse for
not showing up Saturday, it is
likely those games will be consid-
cred merely postponed" games
and can be made up later. But
the managers must come to the
meeting and show there was some
reason why they could not appear,
and they must play the games off
later.

Scores from last weekend games
are still coming in, and they range
from close races with one or two
point leads, to plain walk-aways
with some teams getting licked 10
points or more. But all the play
ers are good sports, and when a
Times League team gets the little
end of q big score, usually the
team tightens its belt and tries to
annex the big end next time.

This gives you a brace and also
a push as you keep in motion
toward the next base. Touch the
base naturally, with either foot,
as you swing around, and avoid
making a half step at the turn
as it will throw you off your
stride. In the photograph with
this article the base runner is
shown with his toe on the corner.
