Talking about exhibition ball
players, Jake Beckley, Kansas City,
is there" on transforming stunts.
When the All-American and Ma
tional teams toured the west in
1902 Jake covered first for the Ma
tional league team and was the life
of the party.
He made hit with the fans of
San Francisco, and his chatter and
playing were in measure respor
sible for the success of the trip.
Beckley pulled off play at Oak
land that was beauty.
Monte Cross was on second, with
one out. when the batter hit foul
fly near first. The players benches
were built near the base lines and
Beckley was forced to run around
one to make the catch.
AS the place where the players
sit had roof, the umpire could not
see Jake as he made the catch, but
the minute the ball rested in the
first baseman's mitt he yelled:
I've got it," and moment later
we saw Jake stick his head over
the top of the covering on the
bench, holding the ball.
Cross took lead off second and
Jake drew back to though to throw
to the base. This made Monte start
back. Then Jake disappeared.
When he failed to come out Cross
started for third. only to get about
half way to the bag. when Jake's
head again appeared. In moment
he tossed the ball to Charley Irwin
at third. In plenty time to get
Cross, as he slid into the bag
/ Beckley had seen Cross all the
time through crack in the back Of
the bench. and kidded the life out
of him the rest of the trip.
1t has been conceded that one of
the principal assets of the winning
pitcher Is control. The understand
ing of this Is the twirler's ability to
get the ball over the plate But
there is something In control be-
sides being able to split the plate.
The twirler who can work the
corners and has the command to
make the batter hit at balls that
are not over shows real control.
The man who has enough conf
dence to take shot at some bat
ter's head and then come back and
get two or three strikes over the
plate. when he Is forced to, Is also
there.
When a pitcher establishes rep
utation for control and seldom hits
anyone. the players feel that they
need not be afraid of getting hit.
Once let them get this idea and the
box artist will find 1t hard shedding
The patters refuse to back away
an inch. This makes the pitchers
curve ball no good and he is handi-
capped In his work
The pitcher who Is not afraid to
drive one at the batter's head. and
by so doing letting him know that
he Is not altogether safe. usually
gets good results,
OF course. no pitcher would In
tentionally hit batter, but as long
az it's case of dos eat dog, 1t Is
Just as fair for the twirler to take
advantage OF those things AZ II IL
for the batter.
