TO STEAL BASES
UNDERWATER
New Form of Baseball Game
Evolved For Swimmers,
HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED,
Ball, Home Plats and Bases Are Made
of Cork Sport Is Enjoyable to
Players and Is Pleasing to Specta
tors League Formed.
Water baseball Is tho latest addition
to outdoor aquatic sports, and there Is
every Indication that it will becomo
popular. Tho American Llfo Saving
society of New York has organized a
league, and eight teams aro enrolled hi
membership, each representing ono of
the society's nearby stations. A fow
preliminary games aro bolng played to
familiarize tho men with the rules, but
a regular schcxlulo will soon bo arrang
ed, and the various teams will then
competo for tho championship pennant
E. C. Bronnan, who Is mainly respon
sible for introducing tho new game in
Its present form, expresses coulldenco
that it will Ond ready favor with both
swimmer and public, for tho few exhi
bitions given have proved most enjoy
able to the players and been enthusi
astically applauded by tho spectators.
Water baseball is a fairly faithful
copy of the national gamo. Tho homo
plato Is marked by a largo float upon
which stand batter and catcher; tho
pitcher's bos and bases aro cork buoys
anchored In tbo usual formation, and
the foul lines aro drawn with long
ropes.
Instead of the regular ball, a small
cork sphere Is used, and tho bats are
short sticks, with which it requires
somo skill to hit even tho comparative
ly slow balls pitched from tho water.
The diamond is, of coarse, smalL
For the rest, play Is very similar in
both games. In tho aquatic variety tho
teams number tho same list of men,
nnd tho fielders aro disposed In almost
Identical positions, though closo In, as
the light ball seldom goes very far.
Upon a hit bolng made tho batter
takes n running dlvo and sprints to
ward first base, which be has to touch
before proceeding any farther. If ho
reaches It safely ho will thereafter wait
for the noxt hit or try to steal second.
Just as In the land gamo. Points aro
also scored In tho same manner as In
ordinary baseball, only any part of tho
starting float may bo made in reach
ing borne.
A clever and amusing trick has al
ready been seen In stealing bases, somo
of tho players diving and swimming
thus if rider tho water from baso to
ba6c Tbo fielder Is then forced to
follow them in their submarine Jour
ney to Intercept them. This method
will probably bo ruled out however,
aB tho umplro has so far proved un
willing to Jump In and ascertain what
took place beneath tho surface, there
by being unablo to pass a correct de
cision. It Is a pity, for tho play added
greatly to the Interest
Many club swimmers havo signified
their intention of taking up tho new
sport, and when actual experience has
enabled them to draft a more deflnito
code than tho rather crudo ono now
obtaining it would not bo surprising to
see another amateur leaguo formed.
Speed in swimming and good water
manship, whilo most desirable, are not
absolutely necessary to play water
baseball, and this fact is likely to bring
It many recruits, particularly as It Is
as much of a pastlmo as it Is a contest
0'DAY ONCE A JOCKEY.
Indianapolis' New Manager Turned to
Baseball When Thrown In Race.
Charley O'Day, tho newly appointed
manager of tbo Indianapolis team, Is a
baseball player and leader who has
fought his own way. O'Day, although
a comparatively young man, has been
In baseball about ten years.
In his early days O'Day was a raco
horso Jockey, but in a Bteeplechaso In
Florida several years ago he was
thrown from a horso, and his collar
bono was broken. Six weeks later,
when bo was discharged from tho hos
pital, bo weight 145 pounds, and his
days ns a Jockey wcro over. Then ho
turned to baseball and was successful
as a second baseman.
W. n. Watklns discovered O'Day at
Chicago when tho Indianapolis club
was in need of a manager for tho Now
ark team in tho Ohio Btato league, and
O'Day took a losing team and was
highly successful.
After tbo Indianapolis club riddled
tbo Newark club O'Day went out on
tbo lots nnd picked up amateurs to Oil
tut his team. With a makeshift team
O'Day still played winning bait and
when tbo Newark franchise was trans,
ferrod to Springfield O'Day landed
tho pennant last year, and this year
when 8pringflcld was admitted to tho
Contra! leaguo ho bad bis team well
up In tho raco. O'Day is making bis

but bo is full of confldenco and deter

best fight there is in him,

Young men who havo weight as well
as speed will bo welcome at tho col
leges In the fall. Under the now foot
ball rules thcro will bo something of a
premium on avoirdupois, and the coach
es of the defense aro casting about for
tho 200 poundors, for it is generally
agreed that the tackles will have hard
er work to do than last year.
Tho leading coaches took very little
rest after the close of last season, and
they have been busy working out the
plana for the coming season ever since
tho playing codo wob changed. It
seems odd to talk of football at this
