Rainbow Division Club*
- Hope to Make Advance
Before every baseball race the clubs
might be separated Into two divisions.
There are the first division clubs and
the rainbow division clubs—rainbow
signifying hope, writes Walter Trum-
bull In the New York Herald.
There are always dubs which hsve
been second division teams, but which
hope that they have strengthened
enough to dlmb into the first division.
The only trouble about that is the first
division will accommodate only four
teams in each league.
To make concrete examples, both
the White Sox and the Athletics this
season say that they expect to finish
In the first division. Fair enough!
But the four narrow top steps now are
occupied by New York, St. Louis, De-
troit and Cleveland. Just which one
do they expect to kifk down stairs?
And in the National league the
chances look pretty slim for any of the
second division clubs to head off the
Glsnts, Cincinnati, St. Louis or Pitts-
burgh. In fact, it is just as well for a
couple of those second division teams
that the league provides only eight
places In which to finish—otherwise
one of them might finish ninth.

Two Fairy <<Oar*menw
(By CARL LUNDGREN, Baseball Coach.
University of Illinois.)
I believe players should observe six
fundamentals in fielding ground balls;
that is, they should start fast, get |
square in front of ail balls that they I
can; keep their body low-; watch the I
ball go into their hands; use their feet I
properly and make every effort to
datch the ball on a long bound or on
a picknp.
On every pitched ball fielders should
come up off their heels and onto
their toes ready to start as fast as
they can run In a direction that will
put them In front of the ball. Usual-
ly a player should be able to tell on
which side of him the ball will be
hit before the batter hits, by watching
the swing of the bat and the position
of the pitched ball relative to the bat-
ter. Oftentimes, if you will watch in-
fielders, you will observe that many
will leap forward and to one side or
the other anil often take a full step
even though the ball Is not hit. This
means a fast start ist fielding the ball
if it is hit and the ability to cover
much more territory. It also means
that they may slow up when they
come to the point where they can
take the ball on a long bound or a
pickup if it is hit down the infield
with ordinary speed and not to the
limits of their fielding area. In other
Words, they can play the ball and not
allow the ball to play them. You
should get square In front of all balls,
if possible, in order to reach as far
as possible to either side if the ball
bounds badly to one side on the last
bound before catching it and also to
use your body and feet to keep the ball
In front of you in case it cannot be
played with your hands. Many as-
sists are made over halls that drop In
front of you that have been stopped
by body and feet. One of the funda-
mentals of all baseball is to keep the

at the limits of your "fielding
that you can play only with
hands because you cannot get your
body in front of them, also slow-
hit balls that you must go in as fast
as you can and take in any way that
they come to you in order to get the
putout, also long bounding that you
can play on the side In order to be in
a better position to throw, but on or-
dinary ground balls it should be easy
to understand that. If you play them
on the side and they bound a Httle
farther to that side than you expect-
ed, you will be unable to knock them
down and play them. They will go to
the outfield, possibly between them,
and If it Is an outfielder playing the
ball ft seems an extra base hit
Keep your body low. Ns player was
kept too long on ground balls but
many have been unable to keep low
enough. Many balls have been too
low for a player to reach when he
could have had his body lower and
reached them with ease. It is much
easier to raise up for a ball than to
stoop lower. A player should prac-
tice until it becomes second nature
to him. Start fast to get in front of
the ball and when you have it played
bring the heels of both feet together
or very close together; the feet should
point out at an angle of 46 degrees;
he^d low; body nearly horizontal and
knees bending outward; hands point-
ing downward and fairly close to
your feet; allow hands to be carried
back by the ball. Do not fight the
ball by reaching out for it. When
you have mastered this position, you
will find that you will take It on all
hard-hit and bad-hounding balls on
which you will be able io make plays
that would often get away from you
otherwise.
Probably the most essential thing
in fielding a ball Is to watch it until
you have.lt, so watcli it go into your
hands. Because it has heen bounding
straight most of the way to you 1*
no reason to\ expect it won’t bound
crookedly on the last hound nor can
you expect to move your hands and
catch ft if you do not see it when it
bounds crookedly.
Learn to judge the speed of base-
runners and to time your fielding and
throwing accordingly. If you ’ have
time, play the ball safely, but if you
have to hurry, be able to judge how
fast you must make the play. Mak*
all plays that are possible with two

Some of the latter
you may have to play with one hand.
Avoid throwing underhand when
possible to do so. It Is not as accur-
ate, especially on long throws, harder
to handle, hard on the arm and not
necessary nearly so often as thought
In some cases It Is absolutely neces-
sary, but as a usual thing It is bet-
