Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Play Second Base While there are certain rules for playing second base that are fundamentally the same in all cases, it is rare to find two 'men who play the position exactly the same. In preparing this book How to Play Second Base, I have followed as closely as possible the method I have employed in the many years I have been in the National League. For some reason or other an erroneous impression was had Of second base for a long time - that it was a position that could be easily filled for years after a player started to go back. That may have been the case before the science of team work was de veloped to its present standard and before there was so much of what is termed inside baseball, which, after all, is nothing more than quick team work and quick headwork. My experience in play ing second base in the National League has taught me that to be successful in the position, one must be a hustler. It -is a case of hustle all the time, with your head, eyes, hands and feet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

More plays center about shortstop as a fulcrum, and more is asked of the holder of this position than is true of any other baseman. The accuracy of the shortstop's assists are, at times, supremely vital; while the strength of his arm, the speed of his legs and the quickness of his perception many times may contribute to the saving of a struggle badly in the fire. The pro-position that confronts the candidate for a short field position is, briefly: I. To have speed enough to range from second to third bases on all sorts of bounders.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baseball: Individual Play in Detail, With Illustrations and Diagrams The present position of the game of baseball in the United States, the enthusiasm with which it is played, and the interest with which it is watched by the American people have made it very evident that it would be valuable both to players and spectators to have easily available a book formulating what has been found to be the best way of playing the game. Although it is a sport which is most widely followed, yet comparatively few players, and fewer spectators, really understand it thoroughly. The reason for this will be apparent when one realizes that the leaders of the game, with a knowledge gained through years of experience and careful study, have, for the most part, reserved this knowledge for those immediately under their control, while the average player and spectator must be content to play and watch the game as best he can. A brief review of the development of the game will help to bring out the facts that have to do with the writing of this book.
