Base Ball AS BIG LEAGUERS PLAY IT on THIS LEG FORWARD What is one of the tricks of a good first baseman i handling throu Answered by EARL SHEELY First Baseman, Chicago White Sox. A man who has made good in the big league after ecight years in the minors, * Nearly every beginner who tries to_play first base has trouble in shifting his feet correctly. When making a putout on a periect throw, a right-handed first baseman should touch the base with the right foot, stretching out with his left in the direction from which the throw is coming. He will find he can reach a foot farther by following this rule than if he kept the left foot on the base; and he will always be in per- fect position for a quick throw. Of course, a left-handed man should make the same play just opposite; that is, the left foot on bag, etc. On throws to the right of the base, keep left foot on base and step out with the right. On throws to the left of bag, keep right foot on base and stretch with the left. Form the habit of “helping” every throw. (Copyright, 1924 cdito ssociated 1Inc.)

MONDAY, JUNE 2, 1924 Collegiate Meet Success From All Angles : Sandlot Nines Face Doubleheaders DISTANCE RUNNERS ' M’ALEER, WITH 74, LEADS ARE HOPE OF JAPAN EAST POTOMAC GOLFERS| BATTLE WEDNESDAY By the Asociated Press, TOKIO, June 2.—Japan middle and long distance runners carry her great- est hopes for breaking into the point column in the Olympic games at Paris. It is from the distance runners that most is expected. The national Olym- ple tryouts held in Tokio uncovered two hitherto ugknown stars who have & better chance than any others of the small band soon to start for Paris, of carrying the Rising Sun emblem to victory. Shizo Kanaguri, graduate of the Tokio Higher Normal School and now a Tokio teacher, won the marathon in the tryouts in the very creditable time of 2:36:9, less than four minutes slower “than' the time made by Kolehmainen, the Finm in winning the long distance classic at Antwerp in 1920. The course over whicl Kanagurl made his record is not a trying one, but the race was run in the rain, and his performance speaks well for his chances at Paris. A small, bespectacled youth, Kiki nosuke Tajiro of Chuo University, scored a decisive victory in the 10,000-metre run, negotiating the dis- tance in 32:48 '3-5. The ~winning time at Antwerp was 31:45 2-5, which indicates that Tajiro also has a chance at least to score. If Japan scores at all at Paris she will ‘take pride In the results. It was & shock to the athletic fans of this country when their 1920 Olympic team failed to bring back a single point. Eight track and field athletes, five swimmers and one wrestler were named by the executive committee of the Japan Amateur Athletic A soclation after the tryouts to repr sent Japan at Paris. Three of these men already are in America or urope. The rest, accompanied by a small staff of coaches, trainers and officials, have sailed. . Japan also will be represented in the tennis events of the Olympiad. Tennis was the only branch of the Antwerp games in which Japan made a creditable showing, Ichiya Kum- agae making his way into the semi- finals and Kashio reaching the final round in the men's doubles, where they_lost to Turnbull and Woosnam, the British pair. The expenses of the Japanese Olympic team will be paid in part by the government, which has appropri- ated $30,000 for that purpose, and partly by public subscription. ' The total cost is estimated at $60,000. PENN CREW TO ROW IN OLYMPIC TRYOUT PHILADELPHIA, June 2.—Follow- ing a hurried conference among members of the Penn rowing com- mittee after the Red and Blue's triumphs in the American Henley. important changes were made in the Poughkeepsie plans. It was decided to send the eight stroked by Irminger, which won the Childs cup and Steward's cup, to Poughkeepsie and keep the Bennett eight on the Schuylkill for the Olympic rowing trials June 14. The Trminger eight, as well as the third varsity, which will take the place of Bennett's crew. and the freshman oarsmen will compete on the Hudson. Jim Rice has been assigned to lnok after the coaching of the three crews on the Hudson and Joe Wright will direct the work of the Olympic candi- dates here. TITLE TRACK MEET HAS A TAME ENDING BY WALTER CAMP. NEW YORK, June 2.—The one great lesson to be drawn from the intercol- legiate meet, which was won by Yale by the margin of a single point, is that the field events should be started earlier, in order that they may be completed while there still reman to be run off two or three track events. Those who were ot at the meet pic- ture an enraptured crowd leaning for- ward or standing up with craning necks widly applauding cach heave of the giant hammer-throwers, upon whom de- pend the ultimate decision of the 1924 intercollegiate. What actually hap- pened was this. Ten thousand specta- tors, who had spent their money and their time to witness the thrilling con- tests, are sitting impatiently in_ their seats—all the events they can see hav- ing been fl ooking at a big black scoreboard, upon which will be posted after a while the results of the final contest—the hammer throw, which is being decided in a back lot over behind the stadium. ‘A blackboard finish is no way to end 20 thrilling an intercollegiate. ——— Clever hurling by Chadwick en- abled the Ontario Athletic Club to down the Hilltop youngsters, 8 to 5.

J, June 2.—Vietor Hopkins, Davenport, JTowa, vesterday won the finals for placement on the American olympic bicycle team, his time of 6 hours, 9 minutes, 21 3.5 sec- onds being considered remarkable for the course of 116 3-10 mile; The route for the most part was laid out over long hills and rough roads and the Sunday motor traffic was exceptionally heavy. Ignatinus Gronkowski of Buffalo, N. Y. was second, 20 seconds behind the winner; John Beaucault, St Louis, Mo., third, and Gus Hentchel, Chicago, fourth. They will represent the American team. The fifth man, Jimmy Armando of Hartford, Conn., will go with the team as alternate, and Rene Braet of Paterson. sixth, will be sent over as the guest of Patterson cycling fans.

Cox, tied at 82 for last place in the first flight and will play off tomorrow at 5:30 for three places.

The Yellow Cab combination has done quite well in its games thus far and it prob- ably will extend the Druggists. Waverly Athletic Club was trail- ing, 5 to 0, in its match with the Cherrydale tossers when rain halted activities at the end of the second session. The Virginia players have lost all three of their games in the Independent and they apparently were well on the way to their first win yesterday.
