No other man playing that position can cover the ground as does Larry. No other man can recover himself so quickly on a slow hit ball and get the leather to first to retire the batter as can Larry, But with all of Lajoie's great plaving he probably receives less applause than any second base- man in_either leagues, for~ the reason that the fans—expect Larry to make phenomenal plays, and let it go at that. FAULTS FOUND IN COLLEGE BASEBALL. Students Very Lame on Base Running —Show Best in Fielding. Baseball as played by college stu- s much in comparison with the played by professionals. Rating the playing of the major gue teams at 100 per cent. and the e game would be 75 per cent. in per cent. n batting, 60 per Dpitching, and 83 1,3 per cent. running. The college fielding | hin a quarter as good as the big| league ficlding, but the batting is only | alf as good and the base running | one-third as good. In short, the ame is weaker in batting and running than in fielding and | ching. The college player knows| of the inside game, the offense of | 1. than he does of defense, as | compared to the best professional. | Th figures are the estimation of | David Fultz, than who nobdy is better qualified to express an opinion on the de The e e has had opportunities to acquire knowledge of the professfonal and college game from all angles. In answer to a quesi hether the collegian had the natural mental abil- ity of the professional 1, needing only the experience t ing it out, Fultz said: “Yes, his mental calibre is such that with the same experience and the same physical ability ha would make a bet- ter player as soon as he overcame a ,((XL n nervousness in executing the we, grew accistomed to the excite- ment and the surroundings “College base running is a good way | behind the professional game,” contin- ued Fultz “and it is an idea of mine that §t is futher behind than it should be. T've seen college teams that never | attempted to do anything in base rnn- | ning, seen them satnd still on the bases | when the opposing catcher was weak in throwing and the opposing picher didn’t know how to hold them slose to the bases. Again, the opposing base- | men didn’t know how to touch a man | sliding to a base. The chances gonse- | quently were all in favor of the base runner( vet he made mo effort to take advantage of the percentage in his favor. The college player runs fast enough, bue he is slower than the pro- fessional in getting a lead and doesn't slide as skillfuily. ‘I know that When T was in college 1 never attempted to steal as I should have done, although I always could run fas and siide well. (Fultz was one of the best sliders professional baseball ever had) I didi't realize until later that fmany & time n collsge games [ conld have tried a steal and gotten away With it.
