Although slightly travel worn, the squad reported no illness upon arrival.

Chase gave the final touch to first base play. He played deeper and closer. He was the most supple of all ball players, the most refined first baseman of all time. He was a won- derfully accurate thrower. He could coop up a batted ball, make a throw to second or third and get back to his sack quicker than any man that ever lived. He was extremely intefligent, the most intelligent of all first base- men, and his mind worked taster. He o difficult target for infielders be- -ause he played so deep and never reached the bag In time; that is, be- fore the throw started. His instruction to infielders always | was, “Throw to the bag, I'll get them.” For this reason Chase made more dif- ult plays at first than any first sacker in any league and at any time. A small patch of white on the ground |is not much of a target to throw at |and the infielders were naturally throwing wide or low. But Chase managed to get the throws. With the ch B .

Before this time the | to the bag, and this was true also Comiskey is the first man supple quickness of a cat Chase would pull the ball out of the air or dig it out of the dirt. His gloved d would dart out with snakelike quicl ness and stab the bad throws. He nearly always took the ball on the run, for I do not remember ever see- ing Chase on the bag, waiting for a throw. Offensively and defensively there has never been another first baseman of the caliber of Chase. He could hit He was as good on the hit and run as any man the game developed, and he was almost as good as Jack Barry on the squeeze play, for Barry, shortstop for the Athletics in their best day: was the finest man on squeeze plays of all time. Chase was a good base runner and he stole third more easi than any other man. He made first- base history as much as Comiskey and Tenney. Sisler Next to Chase. ‘The best first sacker since the days of Chase is George Sisler of St. Louis. Tenney started out as a catcher, An- !son as a third baseman and Sisler as a pltcher. When he was converted into a first baseman the change proved fortunate. Sisler would never have been better than an average left-hand- ed pltcher, but he was the best first baseman in the game for several years. If his eyes had not forced him out of the line-up for a_vear and bothered him ever since, he probably would have won the crown from Chase. He took kindly to first base play and learned the different angles of position play quickly. Fle was a wonderful hitter, extremely fast and he covered much ground. He had a snap throw and he was accurate, I have never seen a first baseman, with the excep- tion of Chase, get a.ball away quicker than Stsler did. He had a rare com- bination of flelding ability, speed, quickness, hitting and base-running talent and intelligence. {Convrieht 10951 RADIATORS, FENDERS BODIER MADE AN © NEW.
