6 HOLDOUTS MAY WARM BENCH, SAYS MORAN; REDS DEFEAT MINERS
JOPLIN. Ma.. April 5 Suffering from the defeats handed them by the Kansas City Blues the Reds recovered Monday and handed the local team a 14-4 defeat. But the Joplin miners ire only Class A ballplayers. Lynn Brenton went the full route on the Red hill. He was not only tairly effective, but accomplished the remarkable feat ot going nine rounds without giving a base on balls or making any kind of a mistake. After the game Manager Moran made the statement that he would
probably start the championship season a week from Wednesday with the same lineup as he used in the game against Joplin. It is not likely that Brenton will start the game, but the rest of the lineup will be the same. "With the exception of Jake Daubert, who has promised to Join us in Indianapolis," said the Red leader, "I have no idea what the holdouts intend to do, and little do I care. - They have treated the club and loyal fans of Cincinnati very unfairly and it is going to take them some time to break Into the lineup should they finally Join the club." Fonseea Hits Hard "Fonseca is bitting the ball hard und is improving so rapidly in his defensive play around second base that I m Dracticallv certain to keep him
lit second. Groh has treated the club
very shabbily and tne only posaiDie way he can break in is to show that he is in perfect condition and will be an addition to our strength, which I ioubt very much that he can do. I ia)iv -mill retain Ptrpsslpr at first

They will be lucky if they are not sitting on the bench the fourth of July." Fonseca was the real star of the game yesterday. He not only led the team at the bat with two doubles and a triple but accepted nine chances in the field without a bobble. He looks like the regular second sacker on the team and probably will be for some time.

When you are to receive the ball at second, always make it a point to be on the bag ahead of the ball. Don't try to arrive at the same time, because in such a-case, you may find yourself too busy trying to get the ball to get the runner. More bases are stolen because of failure of the second baseman nr shortstop to arrive at second anead of the runner than for any other cause. Spread Feet Apart.

ENTERTAIN FRENCH ATHLETES AT RELAYS

speedier you are, the farther back you can play. But never play so far back that you can't reach the bag well ahead of a runner going from first in case an attempt for a double play is to be made there. Keep in mind that the ordinary player can travel farther to his left (his gloved side, that to hif right. There
fore, the smart thing is to play near to second and somewhat deep, as you can be reasonably certain of overtaking drives hit to your left. Learn your batters as quickly as possible p.nd then ptay for them. A left handed batter is always far more likely to hit the ball ir. your direction r:an anywhere cls But some right Uanders hit to right or right-center just as frequently. When you learn the batting characteristics of the various men. you'll learn what sport to stand on to kill off prospective hits. With a man on first, and a left-handed hitter at bat, the shortstop u.-.ually
is but one otvening for him tliat is between the legs. And when he tries to sro through it, you can put it on him without trouble. Of course, it isn't always possible to assume such a stance. The throw may be wide and pull you out of position. The throw may be very high, extremely low or wide. In such a case you can't use the leg spread The only thing to do then is to get the ball at all costs and when you get it, try to put it on the runner. Watch Position.
Whenever a double play is in sight, and you are going to take the throw to the bag, be 'sure you are in a position both to receive the ball and also to make the throw to first. This trick, especially that of getting the ball away with lightning speed, can come only from practice. So practice that play again, again
