First base is unlike any of the infield positions because so many of the players on the side at bat are put out at first base. Third base is unlike the other infield positions because so few runners get there as compared with the other bases, and also for the reason that most of the fielding plays at third base are difficult.
The beginner who plays second base can play it better, however, if he knows what the fellow has to do who plays first base, shortstop and third base, and that is why all this valuable information has been placed in one vol ume. In fact, it is the only up-to-date manner in which the subject can be treated intelligently. Every reader is, therefore, urged to study carefully the instructions given for other positions, whether infield or outfield, as it is the best way by which he can improve the general quality of his play in his own special position.
That is not all. Playing the outfield is so closely re lated to playing the infield that a complete description has been given concerning the duties of the left fielder, the center fielder and the right fielder. Within one cover every beginner in base ball is enabled to read about all the everyday needs to play a fine, well - balanced, well thought-out game of base ball.
The contents, which tell how the. Game should be played, are the result of years of experience in close contact with big league clubs. The author, Mr. John B. Foster, editor of the Spalding Guide, was taught how to play base ball by a big leaguer and has been a part of big league base ball as a critic and as an official for more than a quarter of a century. He has traveled thousands of miles with professional players and has witnessed thousands of big league. Games. For fifteen years Mr. Foster was present at the principal training camps of the major league teams, which are the best base ball schools in the world, and has followed the national game yearly from the Southern training trips to the final out in the world series. We feel sure that every boy who aspires to be a big league baseman or outfielder will find much valued instruction in this volume that will be help ful to him in his efforts to reach his goal.
