Murnane, T: How to Play Base Ball (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from How to Play Base Ball

Select a tall, rangy player for first base, a man with a natural gift for taking pickups; a left-hand thrower is better than ordinary, as he is in posi tion to throw to the other bases after picking up a grounder.

A medium-sized, well-built player for second base is a good selection.

For third base, a tall player with a good range and a strong arm, who can throw from any pom tion, both overhand and underhand.
