familiar with the battery signs, so that he knows just what style of ball is going to be pitched. This enables him to shift on his batters so as to be in the best passible position at all times. When the understanding between shortstop and second baseman calls for the second baseman to cover the bag and take the throw on an attempted steal he should make it a point to be a.t the bag in plenty of time. Leave your position as the runner starts his steal.

N. Y. GIANTS REGAIN LOST GROUND BY BEATING REDS McGrawmen Always Seem to Discover Punch Against Dangerous Rivals —Red Sox Continue Surprise, By lIENRY L. FARRELL NEW YORK, May 24.—One of tlie main reasons why the New York Giants are a champion club is that they can always find a knockout punch when their chins are most exposed. The Giants have won three National League champion.,nips by doing their best work against the teams they had to beat.
In 1922 they won tire pennant by taking five straight games in a crucial series with the Pittsburgh Pirates and last year they did the same by knocking the Cincinnati Reds dead in a-series that practically meant thepennant. They are doing the same thing this season. Before the champions landed in Cincinnati they had lost ten out of their fourteen games and had almost forced their manager home in des pair, but whin they hit the Reds, they- had a chance to make up the lost ground and they did it. They have two more games in Cim-in nati and even if they can do no bet ter than square the series, they will have scored a moral victory. The rally of the Giants in Cincinnati was perhaps the outstanding feature of tin- week in the major leagues. The Yankees also awoke after a snooze when tic- St. Louts Browns were snapping at their heels. The American League champions are hitting again. The Boston Red S<>.\ by winning fourteen out of their last eighteen games, continue to be the biggest surprise of the year, and some of the experts are recalling that anything can happen in baseball. The Chicago Cubs are bidding for the role of the dark liorse in the National League. The club is playing great ball for BUI Killifer and some of the scouts who have been around the circuit say they are the best looking club In the West.

I favor playing a step or two closer to second base with a runner on first than I ordinarily do. The reason of course is that the short distanace so gained often makes possible the completion of a double play on a ball hit to the shortstop. Many a double play is lost by a matter of inches. Speed is the key to the making of double plays. Get the ball away from you with something on it, shoot it rather than merejy toss it. In order to handle a speedy throw it la necessary to

of a dry course. Handicapped by weeks of bad weather, few of the cars have had the track work they need, and with elimination trials only tw-o days off, pilots were getting frantic to hit the bricks. Friday was a repetition of many other dark, damp days. Wet track, high wind and rain kept the cars under cover. Elmer Dempsey finally could stand it, no longer, and, despite the rain, trotted out his rotary' valve car and ran it around for a number of laps. The Dempsey car ran better Friday' than at any time since it has been at the track. At high speed the oil smoke screen which has been troublesome was missing entirely. Although the track was in no condition for real speed, -Dempsey knocked off a number of laps at better than seventy-five miles an hour.
