BLUFF BUN 7 IS

The steal on BLUM bunt is a play
which Jimmy Ryan claims Is an old
trick of the minor leagues and the
major leagues are only just catching
on--the steal on bluff bunt, when
the Washingtons put over on the Sox
a few weeks ago. The play is clever
and yet perfectly simple. With men
eli second and first and none out the
third baseman expects hunt, and the
play is TO BLUM at the oncoming bail

third baseman. and the runner on sec
ond can almost amble to third, as
there is no chance 10 return and get
him The defense Is stung either
way, for II the third baseman stays
back. the hunt can be made ana
beaten 10 first. The only way TO stop
this play Is to send the shortstop
back of the third baseman, and this
would leave a big gap where a fast
bail CUuid be hit through. IT is strange
that this trick wasn't thought out
years ago. and the Southern league
