TANGO AN AID TO BASEBALL

Movements of Dance Help Base Runner to Develop Bpeed and Dignity, Says Connie Mack.

Connie Mack has given out a statement to' the effect that he is strong for the tango as an aid to baserunning—that the steps and lightly graceful movements of the dance help a # runner to develop speed and dignity. Collins and Barry were the neatest dancers of the whole Athletic dub last season, and both are lightning on the .cushions. Good argument—but what

t , if some plotter should start the music going just as the noble athletes are working a double steal, and they begin to revolve and trot instead of sliding, while the enemy, with hoarse guffaws, turns it into a double play?
