The same goes for Joe Harrls, It would be hard to copy his style at bat, yet he stands out as one of the best hitters in the American league. When Harris was forced out of the game because of illness, the work of the Boston club, as a whole, began to elump, His batting punch was missed, So far this year he has won many a game through a timely hit, Incidentally, the infield began to wob« ble with Harris missing from first base. It is really surprising how much the success of the shortstop second base- man and third sucker depends on the play of the firet baseman, Harrls, while lacking the brilliancy of Sisler and some of the other star first sackers, is a great target .to throw at, aid in his own pecullar style makes many remarkable -plays. Infielders take into consideration the play of the first baseman in fig- uring the possibilities of each ball that is batted at them. In a great many cases, fast execution is de- manded. Not much thought can be given to perfect timing of the ball and the throw. The big idea is to stop the ball and get it on its way. It is in such cases that the relia- ble first baseman plays a big part in the work of the other {infielders and the successful completion of many playe. 3 w s With a substitute playing . first, the other infielders tighten wup, try to perfectly time every throw, and lose much speed, not only in hand- ling the ball but getting it away. Because most firs t basemen go about their work 8o easily, much of the difficulty in playing the position is lost to the spectator. Unquestion- ably the play of the first sacker is the steadying influence on the infield. The case of Harris and the play of the Red Sox is ample proof of it.
