It's a job that calls for special qualifications to its special duties. A third, base- man, preferably tall, must have a strong, accurate throwing arm. It's a big help, too, if he can ac- quire a sort of sixth sense about the batter's intentions. For instance, when a strong “pull” hitter comes to bat the third sacker must be ready for anything, especially if there is a runner on first. If the baseman plays deep the hitter may lay down a bunt. If the baseman is up “on the grass” the batter may pull a hit direct through or over | him. The safest rule, with a runner on first, is to play up for a bunt until the batter has two strikes fon him. Then you can move back. ! General Rules handie | | Here are some general rules: On base hits to the outfield, you should play the bag to relay throws or to cut off an advancing runner. In the case of hard singles to left of second base you some- times act as cutoff man on throws to the plate from the outfield It's just as important for the third baseman to study batters and runners and know where they are likely to hit and run as it is for any other infielders. With runners on first and sec- ond the pitcher usually handles bunts down the third base line and you hold the bag for a force- out. If there's a runner on third, always make sure he's going to try for home before yop make a throw to the plate. When runners are on ,second and third the in- |field always plays for a run- "dowfi on the runner on third. | Special circumstances call fur !s))oc!al duties. For instance, the third-sacker may have to cover {second if both shortstop and sec- ond baseman are pulled far off the bag to ficld a ball. There’s plenty to do if you're a third baseman. It's really a “hot FIRST BASER 'NOW PITCHER {John Gorsica Gives Tigers New Life_Is Sort of Spark Plug By DALE STAFFORD AP Feature Service DETROIT, July 16.—Scout Jack Zeller, of the Detroit Tigers, watched a first baseman whip the |ball around in infield practice for |Beckley, W.

He gives the name of the fighter as Lew Lovas who challenges the best men in Ju- neau. Billy McCann has accepted the challenge although he will have to go out of his class as he is now re- cognized as welterweight champion- | jon. McCann says he is after the middleweight title to add to his col- lection, just as Armstrong has done | in the big fistic circles. McCann will probably fight for | [the middleweight title in a smoker | to be given in the A. B. Rink on the | night of Aygust 16. In the meantime, McCann has agreed to defend his welterweight title against Sammy Nelson in a Labor Day smoker. Nelson is already training but will have to bring his middleweight poundage down to the welterweight class. Plans are going ahead and the contestants are getting in shape for the mixed smoker, wrestling and | boxing, to be given in the A. B. Rink on the night of July 26.
