SIGNALS PLAY IMPORTANT PART IN BALL GAME!

pires will stand for it. But his set
of signals are unique. One word
In the flood of billingsgate which
he is directing at the opponents
does the business for the Giants.
That one word directs the attack.
Or 1t may be a pull at his cap,
one arm hanging listlessly at his
side. or thousand and one other
things calculated to wise his men
to what he wants and to keep the
other fellows from getting hep to
his play.
Connie Mack is another big
league manager who is strong on
signals. Mack never deserts the
corner of the bench. but his men
know what he wants them to do.
Mack Is always equipped with a
score book and a lead pencil and
these apparently harmless articles
are believed to play prominent
part in the intricate system of sig
mailing which the foxy leader of
the Athletics has devised.
On the defensive, the field cap
tain may direct the team, or the
catcher may be and usually is. the
one to flash the signal to the in
fielders, explaining in the code
just what is to be attempted.
Usually the second baseman or the
shortstop repeats the signal to the
cutfielders so that every man
knows what is about to be tried
and every man is ready for the
play.
Get Wise Sometimes
OF course, signals are often
solved by the opposing players.
Johnnie Evers of the Cubs is one
of the best in the business at turn
ing this trick, but one set Of sig
mails does not exhaust the roper
toire OF a ball team. The team
can change about as often as they
become wise that their signals are
being topped off, and most of the
big fellows change signals against
different teams. 70 81

A man stands at the tip of one
of the wings to keep the nicely

is no doubt that the signals play q
mighty important part in baseball,
not only in the two big leagues,
but In every league team in the
country. In fact il would be pretty
hard to find first class amateur
team which isn't there with the
signals.
And by signals, / do not mean
the signals the catchers use 10
wise the pitcher. l mean the sig
nails for the shifting of players for
certain batters, signals warning
the infieIders just what the pitcher
is about to offer the batter, signals
STIMULATING which man shall take
the throw at second, and these sig
nails are flashed from the infield-
ers to the outfield so that every
one of the nine men in the field
knows exactly what the defensive
plan on the batter and runner is.
Regular System
OF course the team on the often
sive is there with the signals also.
Every time man goes to the plate,
he has his orders instructing him
what he is to try to do at the bat.
The signal is tipped to the runner,
If there is a runner, and the entire
success of the teams attack de-
ponds on the proper working out
of the play which the manager or
captain has devised.
A majority of the managers In
the two big leagues keep busy on
the coaching line. Watch the bat
ter and the base runner watch
them. Or the manager may be on
the bench. It's a cinch that he
isn't going to delay the game, call
his men in from the coaching box
and instruct them what play he
wants. He might like to do this,
but the umpires wouldn't stand for
1t.
Instead of this, he flashes the
signal for the play to the coacher,
or else the batter does it when he
takes his position at the plate.
Both coacffers are watching, and
they in turn tip off the play t. the
runner. Sounds simple, doesn't it,
but it isn't by a long shot.
Change Often
The Chicago Cubs have been
known to change signals as often
as siX times in one game. McGraw
of the Giants. frequently changes
his signals. Jennings is fond of
doing the same thing. and signal
practice is about as important as
betting and-Helding practice for
the up-to-date team. which is maxi
ing light for honors in its league.
Every baseball fan in the coun-
try Is familiar with the antics of
Hughey Jennings on the coaching
line. Jennings pulls up the grass,
chews it. dances on one foot, kicks
shouts and claps his hands. OF
course part OF this is for the effect
it may have on the opposing play
ers. particularly the pitcher. 1t II
a pretty hard thing to locate a
plate so feet away and pay no
attention to riot on the third OF
first corner OF the diamond, and
noise often gets walk for the bat
ter.
But the primary purpose of this
manager on the line 10 to direct hi.
teams attack, and this he does by
signals. Consequently while many
of the stunts Jennings pulls Of
may seem absud. practically all Of
them have a distinct meaning to
the Tigers.
John McGraw is not so noisy on
the coaching line as the Detroit
Tigers leader, but he Is about as
effective. McGraw has a line Of
sarcasm guaranteed to scorch the
paint off a now house which he

New Corn Feeding.

Not all farmers appreciate the value
of feeding new corn. When handled
properly more good results can be OBJ
tanned from it than from any other
crop grown. When fed In the green
stage, from the time when grains are
in the mill till they become hard and
the blades dry up, horses and cattle
will eat almost, If not all, of the en-
tire plant, and sheep and hogs will
eat much of it, utilizing to advantage
all there is in the crop. New corn.
Just after 1t has passed the roasting
ear stage, is one of the best feeds for
poultry, both young and old, and hens
will lay eggs much better than on old
corn. There is no feed much better
for fattening horses and colts, as well
as cattle, than new corn.
We always plant some very early,
medium and the patches of corn to be
cut and fed whole in late summer and
fall. In this way we have the best
of feed for the stock in August. Sep.
tember and October. one-fourth of the
year. While the new corn Is beins
fed none of the stock requires much
other feed. and the grain in the biz
and the hay in the NOW are saved.
