You may miss him completely if you do. Youngsters will do well to re- member that the fewer times a ball is handled, on thig or any other plas the less chance there will be for a fumbled ball. Too many cooks spoil | the broth is a saying that will apply to run downs. There are few plays of this nature where more than two throws should be required of the second baseman. It the ranner is speedy and has 2 ®ood break back to the bag, it is often wise to throw after you take a few fast strides on his trail. Keep on your way and take a throw from the first baseman. Then go after your man, who by this time is jockey- ing back and forth, and make the toss to your mate on first when you are about 10 feet off. That will ordi- narily be enough to dispose of the runner. You will find it good strategy if you trap a pitcher between the bases to give him as much rope as possible. Run him up and down as much as {You can, and still be fairly certain of retiring him. The chase is likely to tire him out somewhat and make him less effective in the box | A clever second baseman will worry a runner on his bag. Bother him ail you can by blufing starts as if you were going to try to nab him off the base with the aid of the pitcher. Talk to him, Tell him to “get back and to “loolf out.” Slap your hand in vour glove as if signaling to the { pitcher for a quick throw. These tactics will keep him puszled as to when a play will really be made on him. He isn't likely to take great liberties in getting & good break from the bag, becauss he doesn’t | know when you realiy are going over to_cover, and perhaps put him out. Such chatter will serve another purpose. It will put some life in the infield. Useless chatter doesn’t mean much in the winning or losing of games, even If it does sound good to [those in the stands. But where talk can be helpful in holding runners to the bases or in advising vour team- mates what to do, or what you are going to.do on a play, it is most valuable. It is contagious and can be made to work many benefits. Young second basemen should learn to size up the entire field of play. There will be frequent demands made upon them to go to the outfield to re- lay long throws to the plate.

The player,on the second had to cut under his ball sharply in order to hold the green after passing over a trap, but did not hit it correctly, and sent it salling on a Jjourney that promised to carry it not only over the| green, but also over the fourth fair- way and into a ditch beyond. The r on the fourth sliced his ball so that it flew over the second green, bound for the troublesome timber nearby. However, neither ball reached its isastrous destination. Their lines of flight ‘crossed just above the second green, and a thing that couldn’t hap- pen more than once in a million times resulted. They collided. This was strange enough, but that which followed was stranger. The ball belonging to the player on No. 2 hole dropped dead on the No. 2 green, about a foot from the cup. The ball belonging to the player on No. 4 hole was deflected to the left, and came down in the No. 4 faitway, not more than 50 yards from the No. 4 flag. Neither player was penalized by his poor shooting. In fact, each was benefited. The No. 2 man sank his putt for a par 4, something he had scarcely expected at the time he planned to pitch his ball to the green, while the No. 4 man, although short on his second, chipped his third dead to the cup, and also got his par 4 Can you beat it?
