All nlays in which a guard comes in to take the “tap” are dangerous. But when your center has been getting the jump there is very little danger at- tached to this. Center taps off to left laterly. Left guard comes up fast, gets ball and passes to right forward, who, after starting straight up from his posi- tion has cut toward center of floor. The center has cut out the -right side of ring in a wide arc toward basket. The left guard, after making his pass, continues forward. Both he and the center should now be in a position to receive a pass from the right forward. The right forward, after passing, will follow through in case the shot is missed. On this play, when the ball is “tapped” the leit forward goes through wide to back court to pro- tect place left open by guard. CARLISLE STAR DEAD.

TOURING BALL PLAYERS STOP OVER IN HONOLULU By the Associated Press, HONOLULU, January 18. — The American major league base ball play- ers who have been touring the far east, have arrived here. -~ It was announced they would play four games here, leaving next week for the mainlaind. HANDLING SHOW DOGS HERE IS QUITE A TASK With the entry lists complste and the catalogue at press, officials of the ‘Washington Kennel Club are turn- ing thelr attention to the task of pre- paring adequate accommodations for the record exhibit of more than eight hundred entries at the show at the Coliseum, January 26 and 27. Local exhibitors seem to have re- alized that a blue ribbon is worth more than the trouble of getting It, for the lists show that fully 50 per cent of the entrles are from Wash- ington and from the nearby coun- ties in Virginia and Maryland. Out- of-town fanciers are equally keen on the idea that the judges must be convinced that Washington dog lov- ers shall not take all the prize money. The exhibit will be notable in that it will include some of the most fa- mous dogs of America. l‘;?alu:y fanclers and practical kentielmen from the principal cities of the east, south and midwest have benched their charges.

He can thus meet the ball before it breaks. In other words, he is on top of the ball instead of the ball being on top of him. In those days we practiced the short, sharp chop at the ball instead of the long swing. Of not hit so many home runs by that style of batting, but we got many more base hits and consequently won many more games. | In this connection, it is my belief that the present cpidemic of home runs is due to the fact that most of the batters are trying to hit home runs instead if trying to hit the ball a the cientifically. That may be all right for a few ‘hard swingers, but It is not good for a team as a whole. Lively Ball Is Factor.

That season we had as a bat ‘Wilbert Robinson, one of the grea: catchers that ever lived, an McMahon, better known as “Sadle~ Mahon, as pitcher. We have never had many better pitchers than Mo- on. In addition to being a great pitcher he was a great judge of ball pluvers and a close student of the game. It was Sadie McMahon, by the way, who discovered George Burns, the outflelder. 1 had engaged McMahon as scout for the Glants.

He more than earned his year's salary by dig- ging up that one player. ‘Wilbert Robinson had his heart and soul in base ball, and he chimed right in with the ambitions of Jennings, Kelley and myself. Though he was older, he was just as young In spirit. Working with him and McMahon, we thought up many new plays and %32:2:5] for advancing base runners. y gave the hit and r y its first good start. e To work the hit and run play suc- cessfully it is necessary that the bat- ters be adept In placing the ball. I imagine that most every fan un- derstands the principles of this play. Good Hitters Required. The main idea is, if their be a run- ner on first, to signal hist to start for second, as if to steal a base, At the same moment the batter swings at the next ball whether it be a good one or not. Having watched the op- ponents he has a pretty good idea as to whether the second baseman or the- shortstop will cover second base. If the second baseman starts to cover the bag it s the batter's cue to smack the ball between first and second—through the spot left va- cant by the second baseman. If the shortstop is to cover, the hit is shift- ed to the other side of the dlamond. Now, It takes good batters to do that. We worked this play very sucess- fully several times. Hanlon, seeing the “possibilties of a whole team of such ambitions players, began figur- ing for other new players. Any one with half an eye to the future could see the gradual making of a great champlionship team. Though we did not know 'it, he already had put out feelers for additional talent. Always Played to Win. . Even with the small nuceleus that we had we developed a fighting policy. We_learned how to slide accurately and went into them all, determined to win. Never did we pliy for o tle. We wanted a victory or nothing. I have never belleved In playmg for a tie. For instance, if there is a run- ner on second and we need a run to tie, I always call for a hit inst a sacrifice. One run would merely tie the score. A long hit might bring the one run and start another. The main idea is to win. An effort to merely tie we always considered a sign of weakness. Ageressiveness. s the main thing in ‘base_ball.
