Notice Big Leaguers

But a cut-in not too far from
second solves this problem. The
outfielder makes what is ap-
parently a throw to the longer
base, since it is impossible for a
runner to go from first to Sec
ond on an ordinary fly. A
player standing a short distance
behind second can catch the
ball and shoot it to the player
at the base, getting the runner
from first.
Notice how frequently big
league outfielders pay no atten-
ton to the, runner on third
after catching a fly ball, even
though there is a slight chance
Of getting him. They are taught
to play the safe way. It is GER
tain that the runner on first
will go down if the ball is
thrown home.
Then, it takes only a single
to drive in another run. BY
keeping that man on first you
make it impossible for him to
score on a single. Furthermore,
you keep the stage set for a dou-
BILE play, unless two already are
out. But the chief fault Of the
throw home is that you opened
the door for one runner to ad-
vance by making a foolish
throw.
Keep the base runners out Of
scoring distance whenever posi-
Bile. Make no useless throw
which penalties your team by
letting a player advance. Cut
in whenever possible and stop
a player from advancing. That
one run may mean a lot at the
end of the ninth inning.

Position of Player

The position of the player
making the cutin depends of
course on where the ball is
caught and where it must be
thrown. In the accompanying
photograph the cut-in player is
set for a throw from right CEN
ter to third base. Sometimes
the position may be in the CEN
ter of the diamond when the
ball is being thrown to the
plate, or he may have to stand
close to the third base line. The
line of throw to the base behind
him is the guide.
On a fly ball to an outfielder
it is sometimes possible to get
the runner from first base when
the one going to third is out of
reach. In such plays the run
ners all have the same distance
to cover, since each must keep
his foot on the base until the
ball has touched the outfielder's

MISSES PUNCH;
IS KAYOED

1t was goodnight cookies when
Jimmy Tramberia, Baltimore
boxer, missed with a haymaker
right-handed punch in the second
round Of his bout with Sailor
Billy Landers, Of Norfolk, Va,
which featured the fight card at
Fort Washington.
Tramberia left himself as open
as volcano, and LanderS, quick
as flash, cut loose with q staccato
Of punches against Tramberiais
head and body. He didn't halt
until the Italian Slumped to the
floor, a victim of knockout after
2 minutes and AZ seconds Of the
second round.
Actually, it was q hard right
smash to Tramberia's stomach,
followed by q sharp hook to the
chin, that hastened the Balti-
mOrean'S end.
The knockout, delivered cIeanly,
came Unexpectedly, and con-
vinced the crowd Of over 1000
fans that Landers is a real piece
Of fighting machinery.
Landers tipped the scales at
100 pounds while Tramberia, who
generally weighs 1870 pounds,
weakened himself in making the
weight.
The Norfolk Iaa Is now the
best drawing card at Fort
Washington and can pack the
place every time he steps into
the ring. He may be used in
q bout with Midget WOlgast,
world fIywelght champion, In
. feature bout at the Fort.
However, Patsy Donovan, man.
ager of frankie DeAngelo, says
another DeAngelo-Landers meet
ing would jam the Fort Washing
ton arena.
Three other knockouts marked
the card last night. Baker Boy"
Billy Schwartz, frankie Mann's
protege, finished Sailor Gates Of
Norfolk in the third round of
the scheduled 8-round semifinal.
Henry Irving, former amateur,
put away jake Friedman Of
Baltimore in the second round.
It was Irving's third knockout.
Soldier Clark outpointed Jack
Quigley in fast six-rounder
while Billy Hoe whipped Sailor
Oden in a four.rounder.

THE CUT-IN THROW

see if the base runner is likely
to be retired. If he figures the
runner too close to third to be
caught, then the play is for
him to catch the throw and
shoot the ball back to second.
Very frequently he will retire
the runner at second and every
time you get a man on the
bases you may be stopping the
tying or winning run.
The advantage in this play is
found in the fact that the man
who hits the ball has farther
to travel in reaching second base
than the base runner has to
travel in racing from first to
third. The difference is due to
the fact that the base runner
is some distance from the bag
when he starts moving while the
batter is even with the plate
when he starts on his way. A
few yards is enough to make one
play possible and the other i'm
possible.

SCREEN STARS
PLAY TODAY

A gala day is slated for Clark
Griffith Stadium this afternoon,
and it is expected that Washing
ton baseball enthusiasts will turn
out in full force to witness the
festivities accompanying the game
between the Hollywood Movie
Stars, the only feminine profes-
sional baseball team in existence,
and the Pullman A. C.
The game won't get under way
until 4:30, as the girls have
plenty to do before they appear
on the diamond. They will meet
President Hoover at 1890 today
and pose with him for their pic
ture, then speak over the radio.
The National Training School
Band Of 40 pieces will be on
hand to play for the fans be-
fore the game, and it is ex-
pected that Polly Moran, well
known screen cOmedienne, who
is appearing at y local theater

q bow before the cameramen.
BY the time 4:3O rolls around,
the fair baseballerS will be all set
to swing into action. They took
over the Annapolis team yester-
day by the score Of 11--6 and
are in fine shape for today's fray.
A local girl, Evelyn Lynch, will
receive a try-out with the team
today. She has had experience
with the New York Bloomer
Girls, and has seen action in the
pitchers box, behind the plate,
and on second base. IF she shows
up well in today's game, in which
she will probably see action, she
will get berth on the team and
a chance to get into the movies
out in Hollywood.
Today's game is for the benefit
of Frank Cinotti. The veteran
sandlot star is recovering from
an appendicitis operation.

4 VETS LEFT
FROM LAST
SEASON

Joey Gardner, head football
coach at Georgetown Prep, is
faced with a hard task, as only
four Of last years regular team
remain, having been hit hard by
graduations. Gardner, who as
sisted Ralph Duplin last year,
will have to construct practically
q new eleven.
Gardner is placing most of his
hopes in several members Of his
last year junior team. George
M. Cohan, jr., outclassed his
opponents as quarterback on the
junior team last year and will
probably call the signals for the
big team this fall.
Cy Cummings, son of the
famous Georgetown University
football player of yOre. will
fill a large gap in the line at
tackle. Young Cy stands over
six feet and weighs 17O
pounds. They say he's like his
dad in physical build.
Maurice Nee, another Wash
1ngtonian best known in golf
circles, gave promise last year
of developing into a clever end.
Joe Sheehan, of Baltimore, will
throw his six feet and 165 pounds
into the other tackle position,
though he may be hard pushed
by Tom McCabe, of Jersey City.
Brothers Are Candidates
Nick Scatuorchio, sub last year,
will fight it out with his brother,
Mike, for one of the halfback
posts. Ziba Graham from Detroit
has the inside track on the other
halfback post but Irwin Warder,
of West Virginia, is com.
petitor Graham's brother, Bob,
sub center last year, will fill the
snapper place, seconded by
Bob Ryan, of Philadelphia.
Don Mcnamara, of Baltimore,
large, powerful sophomore and
noted for his passing ability,
will hold forth at fullback.
Fighting for the other end posi-
ton will be Tom Keating Of
Long Island; Bill williams, Of
Cincinnati, and Joe Nurre, of
Indiana.
Ray Summers, a Washington
boy, tipping ITS pounds, will
handle one guard berth with Bob
LaPlante, of Indiana, and Charles
Stewart. of Brooklyn, contesting
for the other.

The cut-in throw will save
many ball game. It puts an
end to the play on a runner who
already has passed out Of the
danger zone and starts. one on
a runner who can be caught.
One rule that is emphasized to
every big Lacquer from the time
he reaches his first training
camp is that of not letting one
runner advance on a throw
which will not get the runner
who is ahead of him on the
bases.
There are various cut-in plays
in baseball. One is made when
a double steal is attempted and
an infielder cuts in ahead of
the man at second base in order
to hurry the ball back to the
plate.
Another is made on the hitter
who tries to reach second base
on a throw to get a runner 60
ing from first to third on the
hit, or from second base to the
plate.
Then there is the cut-in with
runners on first and third when
the fielder catches fly. He
throws apparently to the plate
and somebody cuts in on the
throw and snaps it to second
for a play on the runner who
tries to go from first to second
on the throw.

DeLaun realizes he is going up
against one of the greatest mat

be told that Steele is possessed
with unlimited strength and en-
durance, but he believes he can
hold Steele even.
