Text Appearing Before Image:
to deliver the hall because if hedoes he will tip the hatter off. The shortstop should not start to move untilthe pitcher begins his motion. Then the battercannot take his eyes off the twirler. He doesnot have to shift far, just a few feet, and heshould be steady on his feet, ready to moveeither way by the time the ball reaches thehatter. There is a lot of skill in shifting clev-erly, and the shortstop must be careful not totip off the other side by his movements. When in his natural position with no run-ners on the bases, the shortstop plays deep,almost at right angles to an imaginary linedrawn from home plate over second base tocenter field. (111. No. 20.) His position isslightly nearer second base than third, but hehas no set place, as he shifts according to con-ditions. The shortstop covers second basequite as often as the second baseman. It usedto be that he took care of second on all throws,but that system is bad because then the runnerknows from just where to expect the danger.
