this year Four or five regular men
on any team would be worth double as
much as Il string of nine or ten men
with only one or two of them in first
class pitching condition.
Too many pitchers are a hindrance
instead of Il help. If Cicotte, Wood
and WOlter had been in shape to help
out Arellanes last season the pitching
staff of the Red SoX would not have
been the weakest in the American
league. But the wildness of Wood, the
injury to Cicotte and the bad start that
Wolter got in the spring handicapped
the team so heavily that ArellaneS was
forced to do pretty nearly half the
pitching for his team.

used by every good base runner. The
slide, it is conceded BY the veterans of

though every man on the team used it
with great success until it became the
trademark of the White Stockings The
slide consists of throwing the body
either to the right or to the left while
at full speed. and sliding upon the hip
with the leg doubled under, and the
foot extended so as to hook around the
bag. The runner throws his body away
from the baseman TO avoid being

The marvellous success of the team was
due more 10 intelligent team work, and
the protecting of base-runncrs by the
batters than to the individual skill OF
the players, although that was great.
During that same evolutionary period
another leader was coming forward in
the rival American association. Oddly
enough, Comlskey. leading the st, Louis
Browns, was working along the same
lines of development of team play as
was the Chicago team, inventing plays
teaching them to his mon, learning from
others and winning pennauts.
Comlskey was and is one of the great
tconstructive geniuses of baseball anC
the only one who kept abreast of tn,
progress of the scientific part of tho
game. and usually ahead of it, He was
one of the first to use the hit-and rur
play effectively, but his great improve
ment in defensive work was his siyl,
of playing first base. which was revo
lutionary IN its effect upon the infelt
game. Comiskey not only invented
plays, but seized and improved upor

The world s championship series be
tween Chicago and st. Louis marked
an era in the development of plays.
Each team learned from the other, and
the National league took the best of
the association s style of play, while
the younger organization improved from
experience. Baseball developed rapidly
up to the time of the players rebel
lion, many new plays being invented,
and the education of the public and
the players TO the game was rapid. The
war, however, arrested development,
and with the organization of the
twelvcclub league il was found there
were not enough frst-class players to
fill the dozen teams, and improvement
was slow, except in tho cases of the
Baltimore and Boston teams.
Possibly the best period of develop
ing plays baseball has known was dur
ing the period following the reduction
of the National league to eight clubs
when all the great players of the coun.
try were concentrated in one eight-clnh
league. Another setback came when
tho American league started war and
scattered the PLAYERS through sixteen
clubs, but the supply of players in
creased until both leagues were able to
continue the development.
Today knowledge of the science of
baseball is so widespread that school
boys on the lots and Fairgrounds, and
lads around the country school houses
know how to make the plays Kelly, Co
miskey, Latham and Ward, Ewing

and perfected. They have the theory
