Spectators are not aware that one
of the greatest and most effective
balls pitched is the bean ball"
Bean" is baseball for head" and
pitching at the batter's head, not TO
hit II, but to drive him out of posi-
tion and perhaps C 90 him to get
panic-stricken and svi7g at the ball in
self-defense is an art. Even hitting
batters is advocated by many pitchers
Tony. Mullane, In his day one of the
greatest pitchers. owed much Of his
success to the tact that he hit batters
who tried to crowd the plate. One of
the Chicago pitchers, at the start of
his career, was timid, and the batters
kept encroaching upon the plate and
hitting his curve ball. Chance in
structed the pitcher to hit one batter
in the first inning of every game he
pitched until the batters we're driven
back. The pitcher followed orders
and after he had pitched once against
each opposing team the batters we're
driven back until he became a sue
cess.
Possibly the most intricate part OF
the catcher's work, as well as the
most important, is throwing TO catch
runners, not when they are stealing,
but while they are leading off the
bases. The number Of runners actu.
ally caught matters little, but the
throwing has for its principal object
the prevention of stealing. and hold
ing the runners close to their bases.
The catcher watches the runner
edging away from first base. He
knows to an inch how far the runner
can go and return In safety. The
The catcher signals. by turning his
mitt over and back rapidly. that on the
next pitched ball he will throw to first.
AS the ball is pitched the first base
man dashes behind the runner to the
base, the pitcher throws shoulder
high and outside The plate, and
the catcher, without looking, grabs
the sphere and hurls II at first
base, where the baseman meets II on
the run. If the runner has hesitated
an eighth of a second in diving back
no is blocked off the base and put out.
Catchers like Archer. who throw
with a snap Of the arm while standing
fat footed, catch scores of runners
each season, and practically stop the
stealing of second base by preventing
the runners from getting a flying start
After a catcher once establishes a
reputation for throwing, he has few
throws to make.
A throw of that kind made by Killing
that caught Herzog of first base in
the famous game between New York
and Chicago when they played off
their tie for the championship gave
Chicago the pennant in 1908. Two
men were on bases, Bresnahan was
striving to bunt. King caught the
bunt signal, the ball was pitched out
and like a fash King hurled the ball
to Chance. Herzog was caught, hesi-
teting eight feet from the bag and
New York was stopped in the midst
Of q rally that ought to have netted

the most effective way Of curbing dis
obedience. Suspending players, put
ing them on the bench for an indefinite
period, or In extreme cases, trading
them, OF sending them to some minor
league, has proved more salutary.
Chances players once began TO feel
too prosperous and independent. A
pitcher, who had been famous figure,
was sent home 10 prepare to pitch an
important Sunday game. The team
arrived home on Sunday morning and
Chance discovered the pitcher had
not been AT the grounds at all. He
Immediately wrote the unconditional
release OF the pitcher. He never had
an uprising afterwards.
Possibly the most effective dis
ciplinary system is the one by which
Bill Rourke controls the Omaha club.
He never fines a player. If the man
will not listen to moral suasion,
Rourke invites him back Of the club
house and enforces discipline with his
fists. Once Rourke was compelled to
invite out big player who proved
