The nInslde Gamen

Inside baseball' is merely the art
of getting the hits that "he couldn't
have got anyhow"
Now watch this play closely. See
whether you can discover what is go
ing on. Pat Moran stoops behind the
batter and hides his right hand back
of his mitt Ed Reulbach, pitcher,
shakes his head affirmatively. Johnny
Evers stoops, put his hand in the dust,
touches it on his knee and rests It
upon his hip Jimmy Sheckard trots
20 feet across left field angling In to-
ward the diamond. Steinfeldt creeps
slowly to his left; Tinker moves to-
ward second base and Evers takes
four or Ave steps back and edges to-
ward Chance, who has backed up five
feet. Reulbach pitches a fast ball
high and on the outer corner of the
plate. Mike Mitchell hits 1t. The
crowd yells In sudden apprehension.
The ball seems sure hit-going fast
toward right field, Evers runs easily
over, stops the ball, tosses 1t to
Chance and Mitchell is out.
You saw all that. Now this is what
happened: When Moran knelt down
he put the index finger of his right
hand straight down, then held II hori-
zontally on the top of his mitt. Evers
saw that Moran had signaled Reulbach
to pitch fast ball high and outside
the plate. He rubbed bis hand In the
dirt, signaling Tinker, who patted his
right hand upon his glove, re.
plying he understood. Then Evers
rested his hand upon his hip, signaling
Sheekard, the outfield captain, what
ball was to be pitched. Sheckard
crept toward the spot where Mitchell
would hit that kind Of ball ninety
five out of hundred times. While
Reulbach was winding up" swinging
his arm to throw the ball. Evers
called sharply to Chance Whose good
ear is toward him), and Tinker called

suing easy pop ups and fioundering
all over themselves In the effort to
catch them, while the Americans, ac-
customed to seeing nearly every fly
caught, regarded the feat as common
place.
Catching flies is the least part OF
the work of outfeld>rs They must
not only be able to catch ny balls,
but catch them in position to make'
a throw the instant the ball touches
the hands. They must have strength
of arm, accuracy and absolute knowl-
edge of the angles of the field and
they must throw on the line and make
the ball bound accurately into the
hands of the catcher or baseman.
Primarily the outfelder must know
the Inside game as well as does
the infielder, although not called upon
to get into the play as often. The
grooves" in the outfield are two in
number, their width depending upon
the positions and speeds of the out
fielders. They run from q point d.
rectly behind the positions of the
short stop and second basemen be-
tween the outfielders, widening rapid.
ly after passing the line between the
| fielders, Down these grooves" any
hard hit ball is certain to go safe
unless the fielder has anticipated the
direction of the hit He must do this
| either through knowledge of where
the batter usually hits or through
signals informing him what kind of
ball the pitcher is going to pitch, from
which he can Judge the general direc-
tion in which the batter is likely to
hit.
Jimmy Slagle, for years regarded as
one of the greatest judges Of batters
and direction OF their hits went wrong
one season. II was not because his
judgment was at fault but because.
for weeks and weeks. batters hit ex-
actly where they seemed least likely
to hit. The same thing happened to
Sheckard of Chicago in 1909. and
Mike Mitchell of Cincinnati in 1908.
Sheckard, after a phenomenal run of
these accidents, at the close of an
inning one day took off his glove,
closed his eyes and whirling around
and around, let the glove fly.
What's that for. Sheck?" called one
Of his team mates.
I'm getting so I'm always wrong
calling the turn on where batters will
hit" he replied, so I'm going to play
wherever the glove lights"
The following inning he played ON
the spot where he picked up the
glove. He was 80 feet out of proper
position for the batter, but that un
lucky man drove a hard line fly
straight into Sheckard's hands, and
from that to the end of the season
Sheckard guessed right. He claimed
the scheme changed his luck

sible and hit balls In the wrong direc-
ton. However that may be, Leach
upset the entire defensive infield work
of the Tigers. On three occasions,
Moriarity was running in fast when
Leach, who was at bat, drove the ball
past him, and once Bush was moving
to cover second when the ball went
down "the groove" -Four of Wag-
ner's long hits In the series were to
left field and two Of them at least
were made OF balls that we're ordered
to be pitched outside whether they
were or not.
A rather laughable bit Of coaching
came under my observation during
game in Chicago. The batter In two
previous innings had hit out easy
liners and the coach was disguised.
After warm interchange Of words,
in which the batter insisted he was
not to blame for the smart fielding OF
his opponents, "Hit 'em where they
aint!" growled the coach.
It is rather unfair to critlcise in
field work by exhibitions given in a
series In which every man is strained
to the limit and with immense crowds
cheering and restricting the playing
space, but the inside work Of both
Pittsburg and Detroit in the series
was ragged and seemed to be wrong
on many occasions. On two occasions,
Bush and Delehanty we're going in
opposite directions when the ball was
hit.
To show how closely the two teams
watch each other in that situation; /;
Cincinnati was playing Chicago with
Frank Roth catching for the former

team. Runners were on first and
third. Roth signaled to the pitcher
for a curve; Chance saw the signal
and flashed delayed double steal or
der Higgins caught that signal, the
Reds switched positions rapidly, and
Roth signaled for a pitch.out. The
pitch-out signal was detected by Kane,
who was coaching, and Chance sig
nailed for a change. The result was
the runners held their bases, and the
pitcher wasted ball. Roth signaled
again, the infield changed, and Chance
ordered the delayed steal. Roth was
warned and ordered another pitch
out, but no sooner had he flashed that
signal and Chance had ordered an
other wait, than Roth ordered fast
straight bah pitched, thinking to out
guess Chance. But as Roth changed
his signal Chance, guessing he would
do exactly that thing, signaled hit
and run, with the result that a base
hit tore through the infield and broke
up the game.
The great danger to the defense on
the double steal is that unless a
pitch-out is certain both the short
stop and second baseman are running
to a line between home and second
base and gaps S5 feet wide are left
on both sides of the pitcher II the
batter elects to hit. Consequently, II
the attacking team decides to play
hit and run instead of the double
steal, and the defenders have been led
to expect an attempt at the latter
play, the chances of the batter hitting
safe are tripled.
Late in the season, after the men
know each other and the opponents
perfectly, the infielders frequently dis
card the signals, having become SO
familiar with the plays and the style
of making them that they know ex
actly what to do without signaling
Evers and Tinker of Chicago play en-
tire games without looking at each
other except when an unknown batter
comes up to hit.

batter hit long, high fly to center
field and Seymour Jogging over uncon-
cernedly, caught the ball and tossed
II back to the infleld.
Bravo! Bravo! Well caught!
Well caught" shouted the English
man, clapping his hands.
His companion, an American, flushed
with embarrassment while all the
spectators in that part of the stand
roared with laughter. The English
man could not understand why the
spectators regarded him as they would
have a man who applauded during
the death scene In a play.
From an American standpoint, the
Englishman's outburst showed merely
ignorance OF the game, while as a
matter of fact 1t proved that American
crow DIS have become blase. The spec
tators take for granted really wonder

is compelled to climb tree, turn q
double somersault, leap over a ten
foot bleacher fence, or do something

plauding the skill of the American

SENATE TO STAY
REPUBLICAN

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA propo-
sal said to have been made by Sena-

gents in the Senate unite with the
Democrats for the reorganization Of
the upper chamber, has been received
coldly, according to information here.
The Missouri Senator is said to have
sent out number of letters-most Of
them apparently to his Democratic
colleagues-proposing that the old
guard be definitely unseated at the
coming session of Congress by remak-
ing the committees with a new ap-
portionment of Democrats and insur-
gents.
AS the Senate is now organized,
each committee of any importance is

wing of the party for united action
against the Democrats.
The threat of a union of votes with
the Democrats on any particular ques-
ton, the insurgents hope, will give
their voices great weight in Republl
can caucuses, and that is about as
much as they expect at present. OF
course, when the Senate committees
are assigned at the beginning of the
next Congress the insurgents will be
in position successfully to demand
great consideration. The present state
of mind of the regulars would indi-
cate that no stubborn refusal will be
offered.

MERCY ASKED
FOR FERREIRA

George Ferreira, who is charged
with having assaulted girl in Pauoa
Valley some time ago in company
with some marines, was before Judge
Cooper yesterday afternoon. Deputy
City and County Attorney Brown ap-
Feared for the prosecution, and At
torney Lightfoot for the defendant.
Brown said that seeing that the de-
PENDANT had a mother and a number
of brothers and sisters who were in a
measure depending on his earnings, he
would suggest that sentence be sus-
pended for thirteen months.
Attorney Lightfoot also made an
appeal on behalf of the defendant. He
stated that the defendant had had a
little wine to drink, given him by the
marines, and he was not thoroughly
accountable for his actions at the
time. 1t would indeed be hardship
to the boys mother and brothers and
sisters If he were sent to prison, for
he was in a steady position now, and
they would lose the help that he had
been giving them.
Judge Cooper pointed out that he
had sentenced the marines for their
part in the affair, so he could not very
well see how he could take the course
suggested by counsel. Assaults on
unprotected women would have to
stop
The case was set for disposition on
Monday afternoon.

Buy Any Car You Want
But Buy a CAR

We ask you before making
your final decision to give the
Chalmers "Forty" an unpreju-
diced examination. If you decide
on another car, we will derive a
certain amount of benefit, for as
you become a motor enthusiast,
you will learn from observation,
and from your talks with other
motorists more and more about the
Chalmers. You will learn what
a high position il holds in the
automobile world. You will learn
more and more of it's achieve
ments, and we feel sure that
the day will come when you will
recognize it as the greatest car in
the world at anywhere near
it's price.
The Chalmers Forty" has
the beauty and grace of the most
expe nsive cars. It has the
power to compete with the
speediest on the level OF on the
steepest hill. In materials and
workmanship it could not be bet
ter at any price.
You can pay more for a car
but you win find it difficult TO
buy any better service, moro
comfort, or greater satisfaction
than you can get in a Chalmers
"Forty" at Sa75o.
We are always glad to explain
in detail every feature of the
cars and demonstrate them on
the road. Call and examine the
1871 models.
