Second-base playing now requires the player to be not only a base player per se, but a right short stop in addition, he having to play in both positions. ...he must be able to cover all the ground at “right short,” as well as close around his own base, and to do this well he ought to possess the requisite “headwork” to be able to judge of the hits by the pitcher's delivery, and by the style in which the batsman “faces” or “forms” for striking.
