WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD Today's Games Boston at Philadelphia Brooklyn at New York Chicago at Cincinnati Pittsburgha at St. Louis Standing of the Clubs This May Be Best Done by Two Players Tossing the Bail Back and Forth.

(By CARL LUNDGRKN, BaebU Coach, University of Illinois). Before throwing the ball with any speed the players should always warm up well. This may best be done by two men throwing the ball back and forth between tltein at first for a short distance and later for a longer distance. Ball players almost always throw too much aud too hard in practice. The result is they have dead arms or arms that are permanently Injured.

In throwing, the player should concentrate his attention on the target, If he hns acquired the proper form in throwing he can center his thought on the spot to which he is throwing. The overhand throw for most purposes Is better than any other method. With tills torn) the player can throw more accurately and with greater speed and with less chance of injuring his arm tbun with the aide-arm or under-hnnd throw. In usttog the overhand throw the ball should be held with the first two fingers and the ball goes over the ends of the fingers. In making the throw the hand starts behind the bead and is brought over the shoulder.

As the hand and arm are drawn back the left foot is stepped forward, and as the throw Is completed the right foot steps forward with the arm motion. The underhand throw should be used on some occasions among which may be mentioned the following: 1. The shortstop uses the underhand throw when making a short throw to second base or after fielding slow hit grounders and the throw is to first or borne. 2, The third baseman uses the underhand throw on bunts and slow hit grounders. 8.

The second baseman frequently needs to throw under banded, but he likewise may bo called upon to throw with aide-arm or. oyer band njotion. V- The catcher uses the overhand throw Then throwing to bases except nobe-times on bunted balls, and most of the throws made by the infield should be the OTerhand variety. The out- New York 9 4 Chicago 7 5 With the bases filled in the ninth inning Woodall went up to bat as a pinch hitter and drove in the run that gave the Tigers a 1 to 0 victory over the Browns.
