Payne signalled for either a spit
ball or a fast one, l don't know

reply, and Payne gave him another
signal to which he again shook his
head

mumbled in his mask, but loudly

another signal Walsh nodded as
sent.
Now here is what passed through
my mind, after listening to the hint
carelessly dropped by Payne. Two

on third base, who, If he scored,
would put us ahead, and the count
on me was two strikes and no balls.

instantaneous. l try never to pay

pitcher until he delivers it again, a batter
should never take his eyes off the pitcher.
All of the grooves" of batters are carefully
catalogued. Every hitter in baseball with the
possible exception of Lajoie and Wagner, is sup
posed to have what is known to the profession
as groove" a certain real imagined weak
ness. Some pitchers work to fool batter, and
others aim at his groove" Young and Powell
are of the second type, and it is this style of
pitcher that l always try to make pitch to the
limit as they have to depend absolutely on
their control

Chase's sign for the squeeze
play was given by putting his

early innings of the first game,

Some catchers have a very busy
habit of talking all the time to

John King, of the Chicago Cubs,
known in baseball as a bad man

sits down again. He doesn't terminate his
engagement at the plate AS soon as bats

he repeated the old sign very de-

not giving me that sign, thinking
I'm not jerry to it,"
That's right, Ira," answered
Chase carelessly. Il had forgot

way"
This conversation was carried
on while Plank was paving
around in the box and preparing
to pitch. AS the tall southpaw
wound up, Daniel started in from
third base. Plank delivered
perfect strike, and Chase half
hunted and half hit the ball, which
allowed Daniels to score. Hal
had beaten Thomas at his own
game. He had given a sign that
Thomas knew, and which the lat
ter did not for a moment think

Therefore Ira did not signal for a

catcher. In only a few instances
does the pitcher give the signals.
So much faith have some pitchers
in certain catchers that they pitch
altogether a different brand of base
ball to other men. This Is particu-
larly true of Krause, the Philadelphia
left handler, who pitched such sensa-
tiotnal ball in the season of 1909, and
of Ford, of the New York American
league club, who was the thrill of
the league last season with his
double breaking spitball. Krause had
no confidence in any catcher except
Ira Thomas, and.FOrd could not work
tremendously without ED" Sweeney.
These catchers did all the thinking
for the two great twirlers, aud their
work in the box was purely me-
chanical.
Krause RANGED ten straight vic
tories in a row before he fell, in
a ten-inning game with the ST. Louis
team, then, as usual, in last place.
The secret is this. Thomas was catch

Thomas did not expect to find out anything
by the question but wanted to drag Chase into
conversation to get his mind off his work.
