GIANTS TURN THE TRICKS.
New Workers Have DOped Out Way
to Steal Third Base That is a
COrker.


Stealing third has always been re-
garded as stiff proposition, chiefly
because of the short throw to Third
by the catcher, but the Giants are
turning the trick frequently, aided ma
terially by the latter.
The trick worked by the McGraw
crew is called the fake bunt" With a
runner on second, with none out, or
with one out, the signal is passed and
as the pitcher starts his delivery the
runner makes the usual bluff to go to
third.
1t Is not unusual for the batter to
lay down the ball under such cir
cumstances, and in this case the
make the infelders believe he in
tends to do so.
The batter, IL successful with his
bluff, draws in the third baseman, but
as the ball comes to him he draws
back permitting it to pass. The third
sacker, having been coaxed to draw
in, leaves the bag unguarded, and 1t Is
an easy matter for the runner to reach
IT,
If the bluff works the stealing Of
third is cinch, and it is equally easy
for man on first to reach second
