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

Some unsophisticated Gotham base
ball critic saw the Boston Nationals
trying to pull off the old sacrifice
killer against the Giants a few days
ago, and the next morning his paper
heralded this play as a new one and
gave Fred Tenney as its inventor,
says a Washington writer.
THE play is worked as follows:
With a 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.
ter is near the bag the pitcher pitches,
putting the ball right over where 1t
can be hunted. The first baseman
comes in and the pitcher steps to-
ward third base, while the third base
man stands on his bag If the ball is
hunted to either the first baseman or
the pitcher II is thrown to third
where the base runner, who has natur-
ally been unable to get a start off his
bag, is forced.
Double plays have been made in
this way by the third baseman throw
ing to first, which is covered by the
second baseman.
This play was originated by the
Baltimore team about ten or eleven
years ago. They pulled 1t off success.
fully for an entire season; but the
other teams finally got on. and in
stead of bunting the batsman would
hit the ball, and with every man on
the infield out OF position hits would
usually result. There have been no
new plays sprung in recent years. The
Baltimore team perhaps originated
more plays than any team that was
ever together. II was the Baltimore
team which played the hit and run
game in 1894. the first year they won
the pennant.
The play was virtually unknown be.
fore that time. In the first series with
the New York Giants, who We're then
under the management of John Mont
gomery Ward, the Orioles played the
hit and run game, and 1t was not until
the last game that Ward tumbled to
what the play was Before that time
1t was believed that the Orioles were
merely lucky. There never was a ball
club with as many bralny players on
1t as Hanlon had under him in those
days. He had nothing to do but sit
still on the bench. His players did
the thinking, and did 1t at the right
time"

LATHAM AND MORTON
BEING CRITICIZED

Sporting writers around the o.
p. circuit are cIihcizing Umpire
Latham and President Morton for
5heir failure to punish Manager
Patterson of Sharon for his rowdy
tactics several days ago.
Here is a roast registered by the
Youngstown Telegram:
Umpire Latham failed to report
the assault made upon him by Man
ager Patterson at Willis Park Fri
day, according to President Nor
ton. Latham said Friday that he
had reported the occurrence.
If clean ball is to be maintained
in the O.-P. Latham is due TO re-
celve a sharp reprimand at least.
Il is as much the duty of an um-
.,5ire o reput an occurrence as Fri
days as it is to judge balls and
strikes. If Van Patterson had jos
tied Arlie' off the field it would
be of no concern TO anyone but the
parties interested, but on the ball
field that's different. There the
umpire is an official whose duty it
is TO see that there is ON rcwdyism
and that duty is owed the entire
league. If dozen fans should quit
the game as a result of the dis
graceful affair every club of the
league would he loser, and PreSl-
don't Morton as head of the league
is there to protect its interests.
Morton. according to Sharon peo-
pie. has said that Latham will not
be assigned to umpire with Sharon
in the future except when it can 7
be helped. If that be the case. the
men above Morton, his electors,
have duty TO perform. Rowdyism
cannot be tolerated.
