BALTIM0RES ORIGINATED
THE SACRIFICE-KILLER
Washington Writer Denies That Fred
Tenney Is Author of This
Baseball Trick.

Some unsophisticated Gotham base
ball critic saw the Boston Nationals
trying to pun of the old sacrifice
killer against the Giants few days

gave Fred Tenney as it's inventor,

The play is worked as follows
With man on first and second. and
none out, when it seems certain that
the batsman will sacrifice the short
stop leads the man off of second as
far as possible. Then suddenly he
dashes for the bag, pulling the base
runner back with him. When the lat

putting the ball right over where il
can he hunted The first baseman
comes in and the pitcher steps to.

man stands on his bag II the ball is
hunted To either the first baseman or
the pitcher it is thrown to third,
where the base runner. who has natur-

bag, is forced.
Double plays have been made in
this way 10y the third baseman throw

This play was originated by the
Baltimore team about ten or eleven
years ago. They pulled it off success
fully for an entire season: but the
