Base Ball AS BIG LEAGUERS PLAY IT FIGURE OUT IN ADVANCE WHAT'S COMING NEXT . What do you conmsider to be the outfielder's greatest asset? Answered by GEORGE BURNS Outfielder, Clacinnati Reds. Now starting his teemth year of profes— sional base ball. A wiza: in flelding bad grounders in the outfield. * ¥ ¥ X Thinking out the possibilities of a play in advance and knowing just what to do with the ball if it comes to you is the outfielder's greatest asset. He must constantly have in his head mental pictures of what may happen when the next ball is pitched and be ready for any emer- gency. The outfielder must be a handy man for backing up the infield on hard hit balls which are impossible for infielders to get. The outfielder should always remember one maxim, “Yon can’t make putouts by holding the ball in the outfield.” (Copyright, 1 Associated Editors, Inc.)
