BY BILLY EVANS UTFIELDER MANUSCH of the Detroit Tygers was hit by a pitched ball 17 times during the 1923 campaign. ‘There doesn't appear to be arty- thing unusual about that state- ment. Yet from the viewpoint of the umpires in the American league it has considerable meaning. Once upon a time, getting hit by a pitched ball was a favorite stunt with many big league players, That system is no longer popular. The athletes much prefer to hit the ball than be hit. eee Getting out of the way of a badly pitched ball is quite an drt. Some players do it gracefully, others awkwardly. The point is to con- yince the umpire that you are Feally trying to get out of the way. cee N GOLF, footwork plays a big part in the the success of the Player. Getting distance and ac- curacy depends as much on the feet as the eyes and arms, The flat-footed boxer is at a Breat disadvantage when pitted against tho shifty athlete. Footwork plays an ‘equally im- portant part in the work of the bataman in baseball, It is as es- sential in keeping him from being hit as in hitting the ball, Certain batters by a mere move- ment of head or body avold the ball. Others drop to the ground in a heap. Some step forward or backward to get out of the way, eee Such methods to avold belng hit are apparent, and make It an easy matter for the umpire to reach a decision, It is the stationery bats- man Who causes all the trouble for the Judges of play, eee ID ELBERFELD, famous big leaguer in his day, was such a hateman, The Kid feared no pitcher, hugked the plate closely with lis body extending well over It, Hlberveld took such a position on Some Hitters Can’t Get Away From Bad Pitches Will Perform in Relay, Carnival May 3 at Sta- dium; Drake Relays C= ARLEY PADDOC fastest human, Seattle Thursday enable to the Stadium track bef: bitions in the special events at the University of V ington re lay carnival, May 3 | Paddock is making his first start of the season at Drake relays y at Drake, 1 ington races are expected to be his | second appearance of the season, | When Paddock runs here May 2 jit will be the first jo that be has ever performed the North. | west, and he will undoubtedly be the greatest attraction that the track and field games hes had in jthese parts | The world's eprint champion ix pointing to the American Olymple trials at Boston in June, and he |is taking plenty of competitive races |so that he will be in tip-top condi- tion when the big test comes.

Often I refused to give him his base, it being apparent to every- body in the park that he made no effort to avold the pitch, yet Elber- feld, I am sure, was perfectly truth- ful in his argument that he did not purposely try to get hit, Manusch, on a fast ball pitched inside, seems powerless to got out of the way. Ho is a great bate- man and naturally would much prefer taking a crack at the ball. Often I cautioned him last year, when a pitch that was perbaps‘only an inch away from the plate would almost graze his shirt, only to have him assure mo that ho had no in- tention of being hit. Possibly Tyrus Cobb, master bats- man, will teach him the art of get- ting out of the way. On such balls Cobb shifts a trifle and pulls them down the first base ine. The umpires hope Cobb so pur- fects Manusch's ono fault at the plate, as it will make things much easier for them, Featuring The MOTORBIKE (illus- trated) .. $47.00 The ROADSTER Ladies’ Columbia Juvenile Models « All Guaranteed, and equipped with standard accessories.
