Through their example and influence, the style Of performance at the initial corner went through a very marked change, until today, the first baseman is one of the most important factors in the defensive end Of the game. He is required to cover almost as much ground as any other in fielder on batted balls and he has become of vast assistance in heading Off hits in the general dirce tion of right field. NO young player today has a chance to become a finished first baseman simply On hitting ability or a knack in handling thrown balls. He must be prepared to do his full share on grounders, fly balls and foul flies and must also be fast enough to play a deep field and still cover the bag with, out ever failing.
