Of his right 1t perhaps doesn't mean
anything to YOU, but to every player on
his team it means that the next ball
to the batsman is TO be wasted-that is,
the pitcher Is going TO throw 1t high
and wide, so that the catcher may nail
the man going down to second.
OFTEN at either Boston ball park you
see the batsman swinging at a wide
ball. Ii Is because he Is under orders
and because he has detected the pitcher
trying to waste the ball. He swings
at the ball not for the purpose Of hit
ting It, but to block the catcher and
delay the throw down to second,
Many times during the season you
will see the batsman geeting ready to
step to the plate with his thumb ex-
tended as he grips the bat, II you
look closely you can see the base run
ner watching the batter's thumb. Once
the base runner sees 1t the batsmap
grabs his bat In the ordinary way
Some kind Of play is on. The extend
ed thumb means either that the batter
is going to bunt, Is going to hit the
second ball pitched or he is going TO
try to place the ball down the base line
or 20 the outfield
Football has always been considered
the game OF signals and baseball to the
vast majority of its admirers looks like
straight game. In a league match
there are just as many signals used as
I'm a football game between Harvard
and Yale There is a big difference in
the working OF the signals. In football
one of the players calls out a series Of
apparently meaningless numbers. In
baseball a shift from one foot TO the
other, the manager sitting with one
leg across the other or his right hand
In his pocket, or the ocacher kneeling
with a hand on one leg take the place
OF the numbers called out by college
quarterback.
seldom do you see in a big league
game the second baseman and short
stop running into each other at second
base on a throw down from the catch
or, or the shortstop humping into the
third baseman on bunt down the
third base line. The "hlt and rum
game often misses.
Why? IL Is not because the batter
does not try to hit the ball, hut be-
cause the opposing pitcher is wise"
and has thrown the ball purposely wide
OF the plato.
II an inshoot is signaed for. he
moves accordingly into what he thinks
is the hest place TO lay for the batter

With men on bases the second base

The signal code used by either Boston
team Is "A complex one. II must be or
ignal and II must be puzzlIng enough
TO fool all the other teams. for every
baseball PLAYER is forever trying TO

The Part They Play in the
Progress of the Great
National Game.
A SECRET CODE is USED.
Every Team Has One to Tell What
Batter and Runner Should Do

1t is peculiar fact that the average
baseball enthusiast imagines that the
national game Is a simple one, and yet
It is one Of the deepest Of games
known 10 American sports, How often

peclally on tao bleacEers, that the game

iousy curved balls,

cry professional team has Gods OF

sometimes defeat, The catcher gives
the PIT her a signal, telling him what
Kind Of "a curve TO throw The coacher
gives the base runner a signal to 80
down when the ball leaves the pitchers
hand, and at the same time gives the
batter a signal to hit at the ball, no
matter where 1t comes, Signals are
given TO the pitcher to each bold
runner Of his base. and there are hun
dreds of other signals. Next time you
go down TO Walkers watch for some Of
them.
on this interesting subject, the Bos-
ton Post has the following article:
