TWO GOOD PLAYS THAT
ARE NOT OFTEN USED
Former Baltimore Star SHOWS Easy
Way to Steal Third with AID
of Batsman.

All good baseball plays are not be-
ing used these days.
At least that's the opinion OF JAKE
Stencil, the former outfielder and for
some years a member of the famous
Baltimore team.
There is no doubt that the game
has gotten better in general way,
and that there are more real good
PLAYERS in the business now than
there were 20 years ago. But at the
same time some extremely strong
plays are being overlooked these days
nv nlavers who could easily put them
through.
For instance, you don't see third
base stolen very often. yet It's the
easiest steal on the field. All you
have to do is to have cooperation BE-
tween the batsman and the base run
ner on second, and the thing can be
pulled off nine times out of ten.
1.-THE way we used to do it was to
have the batsman make bluff at
bunting the ball with a man on Sec
ond. The moment he did this the
runner on second would chase Tor
third. The third baseman, thinking
a bunt was to come of, would come
running forward. leaving his base IN
covered so that the runner could get
there unmolested. OF course, the
batsman would not hit at the ball; or
striking at It, would aim to miss 1t, SO
that there would be nothing to pre-
vent the runner reaching third.
Another play that you don't see
often these days is that Of hitting the
ball slowly past the pitcher toward
second base with men on third and
first. and the team on the field play
ing back for double play. We used
to pull that of time and again In Bal
timore. It's better than the squeeze
play in that a fast man can beat out
the tap more than half the time.
IT don't know why these plays have
been neglected.; but they certainly
have. and the game would be much
better played If they. were used
Oftener."

Frank Eugene Bowerman, captain OF
the Boston Nationals. has been play
ing major league baseball since 1895.
when he bacame a member of the IA
nous Baltimore club. AS q catcher he
had played before that time at tho
University OF Michigan and with the
Detroit Athletic club. He is q native
OF the state Of Michigan and still
lives there during the of season, hav-
ing a farm near the town of Romeo.
In 1898 he went to Pittsburg in trade
for Walter Brodie and Jake Stencil.
The next year found him with the New
York Chants" with which club he re-
NAMED until he was traded to Boston
late In 1907. Before he went to Boston
he was the veteran of the New York
team; and was Roger Bresnahan's IN
derstudy and able assistant in the
catching department for the last years
of his stay. He went to Boston in the
famous deal which made Giants of
Tenney, Bridwell and Needham. Bow
erman worked hard all last season to
give Boston a winner, although he
was handicapped by injuries a good
part of the season. This year when it
was up to the late President Dewey to
choose successor to Joe Kelley.
Bowerman was the logical choice.

when YOU TAKE her

When you take her out to the ball game
And you're packed in the stand with the
crowd,
Isn't It nice to have her ask you
In a voice that is fearfully loud:
''What makes that player who throws the
ball II
Wave his arms like THAR" ,
And-''Don't you think It's mean in them
Not letting the umpire bat?'
And when a home player steals second
and third
BY q glorious slide to the base.
She says: IT'S cruel for the crowd to
When that, poor fellow fell on his face. -
Then you try to explain. and she says:
''Oh, see! But why don't the rest OF
the players
Wear an apron to keep their suits clean
Like the man with the muzzle on
wears?'
And-:why do you say tho pitchers no
When he's hitting the bat every timer
And-''Why don't the policeman arrest
them?
Isn't stealing bases a cr1me7''
Then. after you've answered these ques-

And two or three million more. :
You ask in the crowd as you 60 out the

Tom LOTUS Back on Job.

Il now looks as though Jake Beck
ley's days as a manager are few.
George Tebeau announces in Kansas
City that he has practically closed
with Tom Lotus to take the Kaws
in charge, and that the former major
league leader will probably direct the
team during the coming series with
Toledo. Jake was never seriously re-
garded as manager, and his players
took his orders as jokes more or less.
But the old fellow is there" with the
EinRer, and the club kept up a con-
slant chatter and was never regarded
NJ beaten. Lotus has never been
much of a success as leader, but he
has had a lot of experience and may
be able to get the outfit started up the
ladder.

GOING BACK ON sPlTBALL.
Southern League Players Think That
Future Of the Shiny and ooozy
heave 10 Doomed.

The spitball is fast dying out IN the
Southern league, and players in that
organization think It will be matter
of only a couple of years until the
big league fingers drop it from their
repertoire.
Prior to this season every team IN
the Southern league had one or two
exponents OF the Shiny and oozy. Now
the moist twirler is very scarce. Bill
Bernhard hasn't a spitball user at
Nashville. Breitenstein is the only
Pelican who has the damp fling and
he uses 1t only occasionally. Birming-
ham. Little Rock and Memphis have
none and Atlanta and Montgomery are
also said to be without any. although
Bliss and Lively of Montgomery. and
Manuel of Birmingham indulge once
in while.
That the splitter is passing out Is
said to be due to the extra and dam
aging exertion in throwing It. the Diff
lculty of handling the ball by the
catcher and flelders and the fact that
like all other deliveries the batters
have learned to hit it effectively.
If the big leaguers follow IN the
wake of their Southern brethren the
proposed legislation to eliminate inc
slonpv offering will never be neces'
sary

THE HONORABLE JEFF

Story of How Statesman From Arkansas Threw Deco
rum to the Winds and Passed Up White
House Invitation

This is the saddest story ever told
about the Hon. JEFF Davis, Senator
| from the famous rough and ready State
OF Arkansas.
1t is the unvarnished narrative of the
unmitigated sangfroid with which he
knocked the spots OF the social code
as 1t is understood in Washington. 1t
is the plain tale of how, without the
slightest savoir-faire, he took his stand
upon the fragments and the finders of
decorufn and told the polite world to
chase itself up and down the block.
It might have made a great hit ia
Arkansas, but 1t didn't go worth a cent

lists no more muscular orator in the

about that. The invitation reached him.

The Honorable Davis, after a struggle

What else was he to do? OF course, he
accepted. He sent TO the White House
his formal notice that he would break
bread with the head of that party
which, according to the Honorable
Davis. belonged to the trusts heart
and soul.
