Wright Reuolutionized Play
at Shortstop in the Seventies
With Methods in Use Today
BY HARRY GRAYS0N
NEA Sports Editor


No one is more entitled 10 be
in baSeball's Hall of Fame
than George Wright. who turned
from cricket 10 be the first great
shortStop.
As far back as the '70s Wright
revolutionized shortstop play
with methods that have been
employed by the stars ever
since.
Until young Wright came out
of the Harlem section of New
York, shortstops played close to
the base line Taking advantage
OF a powerful arm, Wright was
the first shortstop to play way
back and throw runners out at
first.
He taught other infielders TO
field the ball in front of their
bodies with the heels brought
close together TO prevent the
pellet from going between their
legs. He was first to close the
gate, as they say in baseball.
There wcre-no gloves in those
days, and Wright was first TO
draw back the arms TO slacken
the force of a batted or thrown
ball
Wright was ambideXtrous, and
Deacon Jim White, catcher and
last survivor Of the famous Gin
cinnati Red Stockings, the first
professional club, told how ne
welded hard hit balls barehand-
ed, gathered them in or speared
them in the air with either hand.
Nobody ever played short
stop better than Wright said
Deacon White, who saw them
all.
REDLEGS PLAYED TO 10000
Wright was an amazing figure
in athletics. He also played foot
ball, golf and tennis, had a ire
mendous influence in the early
American life of the latter two
sports
After two years with the Red
Stockings, George helped his
Center-fielding brother, Harry,
and Boston 10 half dozen
championships IN the National
Association and n a on |
League, which superseded it.
Then he Short-stopped and man
aged Providence TO another Ma
tlonal League pennant, after
which he retired from baseball
at 33 and still in full stride, to
devote his entire time to the
sporting goods business.
Wright was 20 when he &C
companied the National club Of
Washington, the first team to
make western trip. In a game
played in Chicago, Pitcher AL
bert G.. Spaldlng of the Rock
ford, Ill, club dealt the Ma
tionalS the only defeat suffered
on the expedition.

Oil leases on 70 tracts Of state school
lands were sold at public auction at
the office of the State Board of Land
Commissioners on Tuesday but there
was no excitement. Three local OPP
orators who wanted part Of the leases
were allowed to bid them in without
competition. A fourth operator, how
ever, bid 81 an acre and 2i5 per cent
royalty to get three tracts
The lands had been put up for sale
at the instigation of Santa Rita Oil
Co. and The Texas Co., as part of the
extensive blocks these companies are
taking. R. G. Parent wanted an 80
acre tract near his well west of Sun
burst and he bid it in at rs cents an
acre. Charles Rider wanted three
tracts on or near Kicking Horse struc-
ture, and he bid them in at 70 cents
an acre. James w. johnson of Shelby
likewise bid in two tracts in the west
side of Kelvin field, in Twp. S5N-4W,
without opposition.
When three tracts east of Kelvin
field were offered, the only competi-
ton of the day appeared. E. B. Cool
idge raised the bid to 81 an acre.
George Coffey, representing Santa Rita,
bid $1.25. Coolidge then bid 81 cash
and 2199e overriding royalty. There
was no further bidding. The call for
bids Stated con a cash basis" The
board announced no decision in the
matter
Santa Rita then bid in the leases

bid in tracts within the Texaeo blocks.
A total of $4,000 acres sold is the
largest public school land lease sale
ever held in Montana.

A rule of 500-foot spacing which ac-

Order M-6s to allow one well to 10
acres in Kelvin field brought new com
plicatiOns this week but assurance has
been received by PAW that individual
exceptions win be quickly handled
under a new system of exploiting this
type of business.
The new spacing rules announced by
Curtis E. Calder, director general for
operations, wPB, follow:
l. Each such well shall be drilled on
a drilling unit Of not less than 10
surface acres, no part of which is at
tributable to any other well, and
2. Not more than one drilling or pro-
ducible well shall be drilled or To-
Gated on such drilling unit, and
8. Not more than four producible
wells shall be drilled or located on any
quarter-quarter section, and
4. Each such well shall be drilled
at least 500 feet from all other drill
ing or producible wells, and
5. Each such well shall be drilled
at least $50 feet from any lease line,
property line, or subdivision line which
separates unconsolidated property in
terests.
The first MOS rule provided for one
well to 40 acres. Operators who drilled
in Kelvin on that pattern or who have
one well in the center of 40 acres are
barred from drilling any more wells
on that 40 acres under the new ruling,
since the maximum distance between
the center location and 330-foot cor
ner location is 467 feet.
