Pitchers have always gained the
ascendency. No matter how severe
the imposts laid upon them, and
they have been many, the pitchers
have always managed to get the
upper hand.
Today they have the batters
practically at their mercy. You
don't hear of So-and-So placing a
hit in right or left, or of So-and-So
placing the ball just out of reach
of the infielders, as was the case
not long ago. Indeed, the batters
consider themselves fortunate to
hit the ball safe, without regard
to location.

John "Muggsy" McGraw, director
general of the New York National
league team, has uncovered a de-
fensive play which upsets base ball
dope and proves that precedent
isn't all the pretzels after all.
Heretofore it has been conceded
that when the team at bat had a
man on bases and no one out the
proper thing to do was to sacri.
fee, or pull off the hit-and-run. To
handle the bunts the infield was
drawn in, on the theory that hunts
can be handled more rapidly If the
men are ntop of the play. 1t
means taking chance on getting
the ball if the hit-and-run is tried.
But McGraw has changed this.
In game with Cincinnati, the
Reds had Egan on third with no
one out, and when the Giants In
field moved in McGraw shouted,
Take the long chance" and the
men moved back to the positions
they had vacated.
McGraw figured the infield had a
fair chance to get Egan at the plate
on any kind of a ground ball. while
with the inf1eld drawn in. hard
hit ball would get through and not
only score Egan, but put a man on
base as we'll
The scheme worked to perfec-
ton. The first man popped a Texas
Lacquer which Birdwell naile half
way to left field. Had he been
playing In close the ball would
have fallen safe, for 1t was way
out of McCormick's reach. The
next man hit to the pitcher and
was out at first, Egan being held
on third. The third man flied to
Mccormick, ending the inning.
New York critics call McGraw's
defense a brilliant bit of general
ship.

A sleek, gray form scurried past
them on the street. The girl drew
closer to Adams

Adams. They'll be coming from

The girl drew still closer.

For an indefinite time he seemed
to hang in space, then he heard

That was it, then. There had
been an accident and both of them
had been hurt. But was he really
the only one with the girl? Had
she had the same dream that he
had? In the agony of his desire
to know Adams opened his eyes
and raised himself to his elbow.
A short distance frmo him was
another bed. On it, raised upon
her elbow, was the girl, her eyes
intensely questioning him. A glad
light sprang into Adams own eyes.
Convulsively the girl held out her
arms to him and then, with a con-
tented sigh, Adams sank back on
