Jo-Jo White, Detroit outfielder, is one of the few major leaguers who employs the kicking slide as he comes into the bag. This is not recommended to boys, for the reason that even ordinary types of sliding are dangerous unless carefully practiced. White's slide makes him doubly difficult to tag, for the reason that he keeps his feet curled underneath until the last instant before he reaches the bag, when he lunges out, often kicking the ball loose from the baseman's grasp as it is held in front of the bag. Boys, however, will do well to learn the simple slides, as explained in others of this series.
