yet the latter won by D
to /. The reason for
their winning that
thew hit when hits were needed-whenmen were
on bases. II can easily be shown how one club
could make eighteen hits during game and the
other only four five and yet win. How
frequent it is that a club is both outbatted and
outfelded and yet wins. Suppose club makes
two hits in every inning. The next three
men at bat are put out The result is that no
runs are scored. The other club might make
four hits in one inning and yet might get three
runs and consequently win. OF course such
game is extremely improbable. but no means
impossible.
Sacrifice hitting can also win games for weak
hitting teams. II ia the most scientific kind of
ball playing It's the kind of tactics that al
WAYS wins, for nothing can successfully be op-
posed to it. The opposing side sees the scores
creep up slowly but surely. and sees no way of
stopping it. They play without error and their
pitcher Is not being hit. and vet they are losing.
There il nothing like it to discourage a team.
They realize that they are being outgeneraled
and they don't know how to meet the attack.
good pitcher may prevent safe hits. but he
cannot prevent sacrifce hits. and nOtwithstand-
ing his excellent work in the box he sees his OPP
ponents slowly being pushed around the bases.
