Tomorrow the Pensacola Journal will begin a remarkable baseball feat ure entitled "Play Ball Like th Stars." Tho series includes stories end illustrations showing just the way the big leaguers play the national game anrf every, boy should study tha f rticle which tells how to. play tho position he Is trying for. The first artiele shows how to lay cut a diamond, either regulation or juvenile size, and gives all necessary information about bases, pitcher's box and so on. The next ia on pitching and contains instructions eoncernbig fast and slow balls, the inshoot, the out-curve, tho drop end the spi". -r. The cut shows Mathewcon and also illustrates the proper position of the hand in prepar ing to throw a curve ball and a slow ball. , The article on catching shows Bill Killifer of the Chicago Cubs in action and points out the important tasks for which the catcher is responsible, explaining the necessity for clear headwork and a perfect understanding between catcher and pitcher. First base ia not the soft snap some inexperienced players are inclined to regard it, and the article devoted to this position indicates plays whereby a first baseman may prove himself a clever" player. The cut shows Hal Unase making- a play that requires Quick work with head, hands anft fw There is also a diagram pointing out the two most advantageous positions for the first sacker when dealing with left hand and right" hand batters. A good outfielder,' illustrated by Tris Speaker, requires a keen eye, fast legs, and a strong whip. In this position much, depends on the player's good physical condition and his ability to sprint. There is a careful explanation of how to handle long Hies and how to learn to work on a sun field where it is sometimes impossible to watch tho ball. Batting is, of course, illustrated by Ty Cobb and the youngsters are ad vised if they would follow in the footsteps of the envied man they must keep everlastingly at it until practice gives them a degree of the firmness and confidence tLat have brought suc cess to. him. Choice of bat and posi tion at the plate are explained but the point is emphasized that nothing will bring success except practice. Base running" is explained as becom ing a more important part of tho game with "very season. Not only is speed required but also good judg ment. A heady base runner can worry the opposing- battery into wild -plays to his own advantage. A paragraph explains the best method of sliding bases, and there are some valuable pointers on stealing bases. The cut shows Donie Bush. The article on short stop presents Everett Scott of" the Boston Americans.' It explains the advantage of a small fast man as short' stop, and calls at tention to the necessity for accurate fielding of ground balls and fast throwing, which are acquired only by practice. , It emphasizes the import ance of team work between short stop and second baseman. It warns against i various misplays and errors in judg ment. - The third sacker receives more hard drives than any other infielder and the article on third base tells tho VGlinS'Rtpr W 1"! r q oncrnT. -frk" tVit nnyi. v...w , -' . - tion how to learn to get hard ground- ers and recover the ball quickly in case of fumbles. Much individual practice is necessary for the boy who would be successful in this position; and it is essential also for the third baseman to study the habits of batters so he may judge quickly what .to ex-' pect, hits or bunts. The cut 'shows Henry Groh of Cincinnati, , : The essential requirements of a star second baseman are given as ""brains, ability to throw accurately and from awkward positions, speed enough to go to both the left and right for ground balls, and a hustling spirit." Eddie Collins is pictured aa a star second baseman famous for using his gray matter, and each one of the es sentials is explained in some detail.

Of the Sox, the White got away to a better start than the Red, but the season is young yet and the Red Sox are notoriously lucky. .
