SENSATIONAL PLAY! First Bas? Manager McGraw of the New Y fldence in the ability of First Basem The judgment of the scrappy little m by the playing of Merkle so far this s been far beyond the expectations of ALTHOTJGH it takes four men to make an infield and only three for an outfield there are more good Infields than outfields. It seems to be easier lc find four Infielders who as a group measure up to standard than to find three such outfielders on one club, j True, the infields, have more, chance to ! show what they can do, but the fine A ork in the outfield, such as throwing and cutting-off the long hits; doesn't appear, even relatively as often as fancy infield work. There are oniy three b?tfields in the big leagues which for ground covering, throwing and speed in getting after j long hits rate up to Al grade. These are the Detroit, Chicago National and Pittsburg outfields. Notwithstanding Pittsburg's bumps this year Clarke, Leach and'Wilson are three sweet gar deners. Hoffman, Schulte and Sheck ard are an outfield hard to improve on, while Cobb and Craw/ord are pippins with either McIntyre or Jones in left classy enough to fit in nicely. Lewis, Hooper and Speaker of the Red Sox make a pretty nice .outfield and one likely to get better. The best infield in the country is that of the Athletics-Davis, Collins. Barry and Baker. It can hit. run buses, and on defense is nearer to air tight than any other present-day quar tet. Stahl, Gardner, Wagner and Lord are a fast four, without thu class at all corners of the Athletics. Chance. Evers, Tinker and Steinfeldt make a strong cordon, but one which has a shade less of the fire of youth bf the Athletic four. Merkle, Doyle, Bridwell and Devlin are a combination not as evenly balanced in ground covering ability as could te virhed, th? greater ability being on the left side. The New York Americans' infield ls also out of balance, having a prepon derance of ability of the right side. Cincinnati's infield is well balanced,' and so is that of the Phillies. Pitts-, burg's always has lacked finish at first base, but a hummer otherwise. Cleve land's is stronger in the middle than on the extremities. Brooklyn's is not fast individually, lacks stability as a whole, but is likely to improve. Bres nahan has a tidy infield and one that can cover lots of ground from first to short inclusive. Take any of the present Infields and they do not outshine bygone infields of the Tenncy-Lowe-Long-Collins stand ard or of the Doyle-Reltz-Jennings-Mc Graw standard. But then those two were in a class by themselves in their day. As a whole the Infields of the present rate up as high now as then. Were ther. one 12-club league nowa days it is probable that more high class infields could be put ' together than were found 15 years ago. The old question of numbering the players on the field so that they can be picked out by reference to the sccre card has come up again. Some fans want this system introduced, claiming that it would add to the pleasure of witnessing a contest to be able to glance at a huge number on the back or chest of an athlete and then refer to a card and pick out his name. There is no chance, though, of aay euch method being introduced. It ?VOL ld oe a bit of humiliation to the players to have to wear such pictures on their manly forms, which is entirely unnec essary. To be sure, a fan who is not personally familiar with all the ath letes sometimes has to ask his neigh bor the identity of certain players, but that is a small matter. With jockeys and bicycle riders the case is very different The former ride in all lands of weather conditions and very often it is utterly impossible to recognize the boys in a big field un less they are provided with a large identification slip in the form of a number on their backs. The same is true of. bicycle riders. But the ball player is diff?rent. Iiis calling is a iR OF THE GIANTS ?man M erk I e. ork Giants has always expressed con an Merkle to play first class hasehall, anager has been more than vindicated eason. His batting and fielding have the New York "fans." higher one than either of the others. His personality is more evident to the spectators than that of the jockey or a man humped over a machine. He is an individual, not a piece of machin ery. He is not a driver of a horse or of an automobile, but an artist in his way. It would be as fcolish to com pel him to wear a huge disfiguring number on his -back as it would be to inflict the same necessity upon a star actor or singer. It doesn't hurt anyone to ask his neighbor a question as to a player or two. if he is watching a game in a foreign city, where he is not familiar with all the athletes. Pitcher Krause of the Athletics may not pitch again this season. His arm has Deen troubling him all season. Two specialists examined his arm the other day ar.d said that he would have to rest up or he might never pitch again. Manager Mack told the youngster to go home and take a complete rest. Uncle Een Shibc ls sorry that he did not build a larger park two years ago. ?hibe park ls already too small to hold the crowes that want to Eee the Ath letics every afternoon when they are at home. Umpire Walsh was attacked and se verely beaten by the crowd at Zanes ville, O., the other day after Lejeune made a home run and won the game at Evansville. The minor league fan hankers after excitement all the time. There are two geed Indians in the American association. Pitcher Mc Glynn and Pitcher Leroy are both de scendants of the original inhabitants of this country and both are pitching grand ball this season. Manager McAleer of Washington is using Lefty Lelivelt on first base in place of Unglaub, who has fallen away In his batting and John Henry, the Holy Cross recruit, back of the bat. The Cleveland team has paid $7.000 for Outfielder Jackson of the Southern league. The youngster has been the sensation in fielding and batting all this season. Ty Cobb and Hughie Jennings are not at all in favor in Philadelphia. The remarks made by the two Detroit men about the Athletics have caused con siderable comment cn the part of the followers of the Mackmen. Manager Jennings predicts that the Athletics are sure to have a slump. "Every team has its slumps. We have had ours and the Philadelphia men are bound to have theirs. Our men are rounding to form and will be going right in a few days, for they are hit ting the ball hard again. I am satis fied with my men as they are." George Guppy, the one-time sensa tion In the pitching world, has taken to trap shooting. He is president and captain of the Elkhart (Ind.) Gun club and is the club's best shot. He is wealthy and owns a hotel at Logans port. He weighs 200 and is 60 pounds heavier than he was when pitching for Clcveand. Frank ?wens, formerly a pitcher with the Chicago American league team, has been traded by the Toledo club of the American association for "Wild Bil,!" Esslck of the Kansas" City club of the same league. STUDY WEAK POINTS ?F OPPOSING PITCHER ROBERT WALLACE, THIRD BASE MAN OF ST. LOUIS BROWNS, SAYS FIRST STUDY WEAK POINTS OF TWIRLER OF OTHER TEAM. BT ROBERT WALLACE. (Copyright. ll'iO. by Josepn B. Bowles.) Working together for one run at a time, ana hitting at the weak points in the opposing team is my idea of how to win baseball games. To me a baseball game, is just like a battle. The effort should be. to attempt to break the defenses some place, and then attack that broken spot. The easiest point to attack, of course, is the pitcher and every effort of a team should be concentrated to weaken the pitcher. Knowledge of a pitcher, whether he ls wild, whether he has good control, whether he fields bunts well, is es sential before a game is started and the attack should be directed at the weak spot. Run bases on pitchers who do not watch the bases care fully; outguess the slow thinking pitchers, and bunt on the bad fielders. I believe in playing hard for one run early in the game, "for the first run handicaps the other team and forces them to hit. The first run I think is almost half the game, and one run in* the first inning usually is worth three later in the game. It is nearly all a study of individ uals, and experience helps a lot 'As to third base, it is one of the most difficult positions in the field to play, ard when the other team is at bat a third baseman is forced to do a lot of thinking or he will lose the game. With runners on bases the chief at tack by the bunting, plan is directed at third base and the baseman, play ing less than ,90, often only 75 feet from the batter, ls in a ticklish posi tion: He must decide whether a cer tain batter will bunt, or whether he will try to draw the baseman forward by pretending to bunt and then push the ball hard past him. If he decides wrong his chances of fielding a hard pushed ball while he is running for ward, are slim. If he gets the boll lt is because he is lucky enough to have it hit straight at him because while coming forward he is enable to change direction or to stop in time to field such a hit A wrong guess with nen on first and second usually means the loss of the game. I know through experience what al most every batter is likely to do, but in baseball there is nothing quite so dangerous as thinking you know what a man will, do because he has done Robert Wallace. that thing many times. He ls likely to change quickly and upset every thing. I watch the batters carefully, especially in situations where two or three plays are possible, and frequent ly can guess from the actions or posi tion of the batter what he ls going to try to do. He may hide his inten tions perfectly and yet tip off his plan through his very effort to conceal it. A false position or an exaggerated show of doing one thing frequently means that the other is coming. I like to know what the pitcher is going to pitch to a batter in an important situ ation. It is difficult for a third base man to get the signals because the catcher is covering up all the time In order to prevent the coachers from seeing. It is a big help to know what ball is to be served, especially if the pitcher is pitching inside or slow, and giving the batter great opportunities ter pulling the ball hard over third base, as it gives a third baseman time to establish an alibi or fix up a self-defense plea. Working with the short stop Is nee essary, and a third baseman and short stop must understand every in stant which is to take balls hit be tween them, or hit slowly. A single mixup there will lose many games, and the decision must be made like a Hash. These are merely pointers which 1 hope may help young players who ore studying the game.

"In what way are we so different?" he asked, with a show of dignity. "Well, father says I am of such a ready and willing disposition, while you seem so-so backward, so ' re luctant and hesitating; so-so loath to come to the-the point, don't you know."
