FIRST BASEMAN MUST LEARN TO GO OUT AND MEET BALL

By GEORGE SISLER, First Bast ~an of All Time N r ~~~ O player can hope for success as a first baseman unt- J less he is a sure catch. This feature of play is far more essential at first than any other place in the infield. It is absolutely necessary for a first baseman to become as efficient in catching- a ball with the gloved hand as with both. This paakes it possible for him to stretch ,r Nd take a throw while on the bag

"My training program will include road work in the mornings and from six to ten rounds of boxing every afternoon,” Gibbons said. "At Shelby I trained to box a man bigger than myself This time I’ll train to box a man my own weight and just as fast as myself.” Gibbons’ camp is at Grand Beach, a few miles from Michigan City. He is stopping at the Golfmore Hotel and the entire convention hall annex is being transformed into a private gymnasium. “Carpentier is the boxer I’ve always wanted to meet.” Gibbons declared. "From a boxing standpoint, Georges is the best man in the world that could have been selected for me “They say he has a great right hand, but if he telegraphs it to me. I won't be there to receive the message.” The Nut Cracker TTI OT SUMMER DAYS HAVE J—J THEIR COMPENSATION SILENCE THE BIRD WHO BOASTS OF TAKING AN ICE COLD PLUNGE EVERY MORN ING. * • • A Boston checker player had to retire from tho national tournament because of exhaustion. .

Burford, Stutz Tie Burford and Stutz tied in the chief event of the weekly shoot of the Indianapolis Gun Club Saturday with a score of 95 each out of 100 targets.

A field of sixty entered the meet, which was in progress all last week.

that would be impossible if he tried to make the play with both hands. A study of the batters is another important feature that must be given much consideration. A knowledge of they field to which a batsman is most liable to hit, enables the first baseman to shift so that he will be in the best possible poition to make a play. Since perhaps 30 per cent of the outs in a ball game are made at first base, it is an easy matter to see that the ability of the man play-

CINCY REDS TRY HARD TO OBTAIN TRIBE STAR Brown Is Player Sought, but Owner Smith Is Reluctant —No Deals Unless Necessity Demands. According to baseball gossip sent out of Cincinnati today the Cincy Reds are making strenuous efforts to obtain Outfielder Brown and Third Baseman Campbell of the Indians, but Owner Smith of the Tribe denied he had been approached with an ofl'er for Campbell.

Smith said the Reds want Brown and have made an offer for him. but just now he is unwilling to part with the star slugger unless he can obtain plenty of bail players in return. Won't Sell for (ash Smith won't sell Brown for cash and has informed the Reds of that. Furthermore, he doesn't believe Cin clnnati has enough surplus talent to send here If a trade was offered, j Eddie Brown is one of the Tribe’s j best drawing cards and a personal j favorite of Smith and any big league j club wanting him will have to step i high. Smith doesn’t care to block a J ball player's graduation to a big league, but before he’ll listen to of- j fers for Brown he wants to hear Brown express a willingness to go up. Brooklyn made an offer for Bro.Fn early in the spring and Smith turned it dowr. Later Brown thanked the 'Tribe boss for the move. The Cleveland club also is sweet on Brown and probably will start negotiating for him. To Confer Wilh Bush Smith probably will go to Louisville the last of the week and join the Indians for a conference with Manager Bush regarding the Cincinnati nossip concerning Brown and Campbell. At this time it appears the Indians are in need of another good pitcher, a shortstop and a stronger secondstring catcher. Good players for these positions cannot be purchased and it may become necessary to part with Brown by trade in order to bolster the club. Schmandt’s weak batting is also worrying the Tribe officials, but in a pinch Whelan can be used at that position. Smith said, however, there would not be any deals made while the club remains at or near the top. Despite the fact the club is on the road, Bush is managing to stay out in front and there is not anything serious to worry over at present. Owner Smith has received official notification that the league player limit has been raised to twenty. President Hickey proposed nineteen, but five club owners voted for twenty Counting Manager Bush as a player, the Indians have twenty-one. Clubs must abide by the rule after May 15. MAT EVENT TUESDAY Carpenter Reported in Better Shape. Than Reynolds. , 4 Ray Carpenter of Columbus, Ohio, apparentjy will go into the match with Jack Reynolds at the Broadway Theater Tuesday night with the odds all in his favor. The Ohio boy is in prime condition, according to Promoter A1 Haft of Columbus, who has been pointing Carpenter for the match, while rwiorts from the Arcade gym at Cnicago, where Reynolds has been doing his training, indicate he will be below his usual standard of physical shape. Evidently gaining confidence by his recent victory over Reynolds and anxious to prove his claim that he is a better man than Jack, Carpenter has been showing unusual class in his work-outs.

ing that position has much to do with a club’s success. It is impossible to tell just how and where a first baseman should play to be most efficient. fi’he speed of the player enters largely into this feature of first basing. The player fast on his feet can play a much deeper first base than the athlete who is slow of foot. In determining the best possible position to assume, the first baseman must consider not only himself but the batter as well. Naturally a

to meet the ball, rather than catching it standing erect. A fraction of a second is the difference between out and safe at first in a majority of plays. Footwork or the shifting of the feet for throws is most important. Dexterity in this particular feature of first base play can be acquired through great effort and constant practice. Some first basemen far excel others in this feature of play. Not every athlete is light on his feet, just as all of us are not good dancers.

M’GRAW’S CHAMPS DROP TWO GAMES TO CARDS Manager John’s Pitching'Sensations’ Begin to Weaken —Mack’s Athletics Defeated 11th Straight Time, Bv HENRY L. FARRELL fc / rutra Press Staff Corrervondent NEW YORK, May 12.—lnterseetiona] games in the major leagues are bearing out the contention that the two champion clubs have their most serious opposition in the West. The New York Giants rode wildly over the weaker eastern clubs and accumulated what looked like a commanding lead, but they slipped badly when they were given their first real challenge in the West.

Against the. Braves, Robins and Phils, the Giant pitching staff looked as if it had obtained the necessary help that was imperative to pull Me Graw’s team through what is generally accepted as a very hard battle, but the heavy-hitting St. Louis Cardinals showed that the new pitchers picked up by the Giants were not the sensations New York had believed. The Giants hit their first slump against the poor Philadelphia Phils and they dropped two more against the Cards. The Cards are by record the weak est club In the West, and the Reds.

The Boilermakers have not had a very successful season and are hoping for better things in the remainder of the schedule. Campbell is due to pitch. Thursday Purdue is at Wabash.

I have given the fundamentals of first base play. The finer points of the game come with experience. There ape many tricks to the playing of first oase that can be gained only as a result of having them come up in actual play and then having them sink in. In a great many cases the best possible position to assume as well as play to make is governed by the conditions of the game, the score, the number of outs, the inning and the ability of the batter.

the Cubs and the Pirates should give the champions much more trouble than they are now having. The losing streak of the Philadelphia Athletics has been one of the unusual features of the Ameri can League race. Connie Mack’s team has dropped eleven games in a row. The Afhletics were regarded before the season opened as one of the promising clubs in the league. Bad weather that has caused numerous postponements is placing a handicap on the New York Yanks that may prove heavy when Miller Huggins has to get into the doubleheaders.

■pj ILL WHALEY, outfielder. y a local sandlot product, has made good with the Los Angeles team of the Pacific Coast League. Manager Krug is using Whaley in all games In which a southpaw pitcher twirls for the opposition, and also uses Whaley as a pir.ch hitter frequently. Whaley possesses an ideal build for a ball player, has a strong throwing arm and he knows how to bat. He was sent to Los Angeles by the St. Louis Browns. Whaley was with the Browns the entire season of 1923 and played in several big league games. He went to the Browns from* Bay City. In Los Angeles’ opening game with Seattle Whaley was the indiviuual star, getting two timely hits and performing brilliantly in the field. During the winter Whaley resides in Indianapolis with his mother, Mrs. Anna Whaley. 314 E. North St.

Home runs decided the contest. The Millers collected three circuit hits and the Indians two. Allen and Brown drove out homers for the Tribesmen, the latter's coming with two men on base. Ned Niles was driven out of Ibe box by the Kellyites and Hill eook up the burden and was charged with the defeat. The beating didn't pull the Indians out of the lead, however, as Kansas City took another defeat at the hands* of the Toledo Hens. .Mangum went the full route on the mound for the Millers Sunday and allowed only seven hits. Fitzsimmons was the winning pitcher Saturday. In today's struggle it was thought Petty would be Manager Bush's selection. Pug Allen got three of the Tribe hits Sunday and he turned in a perfect percentage for the day. In three times at bat he pounded out a homorun, double and single. After the struggle here this afternoon the Indians will transfer their activities to St. Paul for a series of three games. First Five Winners at State Bowling Tourney Lincoln Life.
