NGT As basketball requires maximum speed in action, every second counts. many games are lost because the unguarded player in possession of the ball hesitates momentarily in | shooting or in making a pass to an junguarded teammate closer to the | basket than he is and, therefore, in a better position to shoot. A faulty method of holding the ball is generally | the cause. | The player having the ball should |always hold it away from his body and In both hands in order to be able to toss it instantly in any direction. If he holds it close to him, as in the {llustratfon on the right, he will lose |a fraction of time in passing it. Here's a very important point for all players to watch during practice. Skill yourself in being able to pass the ball as quickly as possible.

Eastern had things its own way in a game with St. John's, and registered a 43-t0-17 triumph. Coach Lynn Woodworth of Business used his regulars in the game with the Swavely tossers, and was forced to send them in against the Alexandrians in the second half of the game with the Celtics. Barnard, Evans, Davis, May and Capt. Lafsky were his first. string selections. Others who saw ac- tion In the two games were Walters, Lynch, Harrington, Rivers, Yeatman, Ford and Block. Eastern’s court_team ran up a 25- to-4 lead on the Johnnies during the first half, and were content to match their opponents basket for basket dur- ing the final.

DETROIT, December 12.—Harold Grange, auburn-thatched foot ball star, will not play with the Chicago Bears when they meet the Detroit professional team here today and, what is more, he will not even show himself to the crowd in his uniform with the famous “77" on it. Instead, the former Illinois star will sit on the sidelines in civilian clothes and watch his teammates, with his arm tled up in splints. Grange arrived last night with the Chicago team from Pittsburgh and immediately went to a bachelor hotel, where he asked the house physician to examine his arm. After the exam- ination the physician announced that a blood clot had formed and that unless the injured member was given good care there was danger of its traveling through the system. If the blood clot should travel near the heart, he sald, it was impossible to say what complications might de- velop. During the examination Grange sat on a bed in one of the hotel rooms, answering the doctor’s questions in a listless manner and constantly rub- bing the injured arm. He said he had first felt the injury in St. Loufs, but thought it only a bruise. It both- ered him considerably at Boston, he sald, and at Pittsburgh he wanted to stay out of the game, but went in not to disappoint the crowd. The foot ball star looked worn and haggard and when the doctor told him the arm must be put in splints he replied: “‘All right, put it in splints, do any- thing so I can get some sleep. I haven’t had a bit ot sleep for two nights because of the pain in my arm. The physician found the upper part of Grange's injured arm swollen twice the size of his other arm. The arm was broken out with red spots along its entire length and at the back of his shoulder was a lump described as twice the size of an ordinary hen’s egs. TOM CROOK TO UMPIRE IN INTERNATIONAL LOOP NEW YORK, December 12 (#).— Thomas A. Crook of Washington, D.

B one must not overlook one fact, and When Harry Stovey, Bill Lange, King Kelly, John McGraw, Willie Keeler, Fred Clarke and some of the other old-timers ran up their high totals in base stealing an entirely dif- ferent system of scoring was In use. At that time a stolen base was scored every time & runner advanced a base or scored on a fly. Had this system been In Vogue in the last 20 years Cobb would have doubled his base- stealing marks In nearly every season. Since Cobb declined as a base run- ner this base ball art has_gone back. That was not the fault of Cobb, but the result of the lively ball. Just as Cobb beggn going back the lively ball was {ntroduced. The result was that base running and bunting were neg- lected. These two features have not kept pace with pltching, hitting and flelding in base ball development. With the lively ball in play the per centage rests with the battet and not with the hase runner. | the batter smashing a ball past the infleld s far greater than his chance of bunting safely or stealing. Not Crafty as Cobb. As far as base running s concerned, the new crop of base runners—men like Frisch, Youngs, Heathcote, Cuyl- er, Bigbee Carey, Grantham, Jack Smith and Stanley Harris—do not give the study to base running that was given 15 years ago when Cobb was at his peak. They are not so eftective as the leading base runners of Cobb's day because they do not pay close enough attention to the indi- vidual style of delivery used by the pitchers and also because they have | not perfected the fadeaway slide, base stealing. King Kelly was the man who in- troduced the fadeaway slide. was intelligent and versatil 3 he was a catcher and an outfielder and good at both jobs, but It was as a base runner that Kelly Although & big man, he was fast and |a great student of pitchers. No one ever detected a tell-tale move on the part of the pitcher more quickly than Kelly and none ever took better ad- vantage of it. This Kelly was a cute ball play- er. He was the first man in base ball who scored from second on an infleld out. He never went Wwithin T second morning they were so the line of the majors. But before the bushers got through they made the big leagues come to them, and now the national agreement is a three-party affair with the minors represented. They do not have the powers of the major leagues, but they have quite power enough to run their protection for the play develop. They established a fee for member- ship. How small it seems as compared with now! For each club in class A it was $50; class B, $30; class C, $20, and class D, $10. Make Draft Price. They made a draft price. Tt reaches into the thousands ir these days. Then it was $300 for class B, $200 for class C, $100 for class D. They had not got as far as mentioning class A. Of course, class A costs more to run and there was more to think about, be- cause base ball men are ever thought- ful when their pocketbooks have some- thing in common with the sensation of touch. They adopted salary limits at the same time. For class B it was $1,000 per month. That was $6,000, or near- Iy that, for the season. Imagine run- ning a base ball club in class B for tha sum these days! It would hardly buy hot dogs for the boys, who have become accustomed to some of the nicer things of life, including jams and marmalade. Class A had to have 1,000,000 popu- lation. Great Scott! How the United States has grown since then! Class A corresponded to class AA now and two citles in one of the class AA leagues have more than a million popu- lation alone. Next, the National Association, which was coming into existence to fight for its own, and to try to be more a part of the general base ball organization that it had been, elected Pat Powers of New York its first presi- dent. Farrell was elected secretary, and Farrell has been secretary ever since and has written more letters about base ball players than any 10 human beings in the world. A national board of arbitration was chosen. Its members were Hickey of the Western League, Sexton of the Three Eye League, Meyer of the West- ern Assoclation, Lucas of the Pacific Northwest League and Murnane of the New England League. Adjournment followed, and the men who had been present to insist that the bushes be recognized for the first time in base ball history went home end walited for the storm. “I don’t know how we are coming out,” said Pat Powers, when he got back to New York, “but we've done it. they've (meaning the blg—leagues) kicked us around from pillar to post. We haven’t had any chance to have any say in anything. We are told that we control our players and then we are told that the money we paid to control them fs no good because the big leagues have decided there shall be no control. We've never had a fair shake. I don’t know that we will get one now, but we are independent. Do you mind hearing that? Independent! Maybe it doesn’t mean iuch, but it sounds - good after the hardships through which bush leagues have gone season after season. More than that, the organization of this associa- tion is golng to compel a little respect for our association among our own members, and that will help to make ’h‘us se ball a much better game than it Behold the truth that he uttered! ‘Within five years after that organiza- tion was effected a man dared own a minor league club and think he repre- sented something, and could command a little respect himself.

With Kelly on second an umpire's Jjob was nothing that any one would care to have. There was only one umpire at that time and Kelly used this to his own purpose. If the ball was hit to the infleld, the umpire naturally had to watch the play at first and to give a decision there he had to turn his back on Kelly, who was leading off second. As soon as the umpire's back was turned, Kelly cut through the infleld just outside the pitcher's box and headed for the third base line. He would reach the line about 20 feet from home plate and then run along the base line to the plate. There was not a chance to double Kelly at the plate under those conditions. And there was not a chance to win an argument from the umplre, because by the time he |looked toward the plate, after the | play at first was completed, Kelly | was going home on a straight line. | The double umpire system In use | today would make it impossible for | Kelly to get away with anything like | that, but he could do it every time | the opportunity presented itselt in a game in which only one umpire worked. Kelly Observed Pitcher. Kelly's observations of pitchers and his fadeaway slide made him the king base runner of his day. No | one had seen this particular slide be- fore Kelly introduced it. The infleld- ers had a tough time trying to tag Kelly and most of them found it im- possible. Kelly used to make bets { that he could give an infielder the| ball, stand 10 feet from the bag and | at a given signal slide in without | being touched by the waiting flelder. | Kelly always won his bets. You cannot say that this trick of Kelly's proved him a better base runner than Cobb, a contention that bas often been mada. I have pointed out that Kelly was the first man who ever used the fadeaway slide. The fielders of Kelly's day naturally could | not combat it successfully. When | Cobb made his base-running records the inflelders were accustomed to the | fadeaway slide and the more Cobb developed the more used to it they | became because every other player | was using the slide or trying to use it.

Here is all there is to it: When you drive a nall with a hammer, you let the head of the hammer do the work. If you chopped a log with an ax, you would let the head of the axe do the work. By the same rule, and in precisely the same manner, when you swing a golf club you let the head of the golf club do the work. That means you swing the club back, letting the wrists break slightly at the top, as you would with & hammer; then you let your arms start to fall toward the ball, largely of their own welght or inclination, ai you let the clubhead whip through, applying some pressure just as it hits the ball, exactly as you apply pressure to the hammer on the nail. Keep about as loose with the club as you would with the hammer—just enough hold of the shaft to command it. Don't try to “force” the shaft, for when you do you are trying to hit the ball with yourself rather than with the club- head. (Copyright. 1928.)
