LARRY CREDITED
With INVENTION
FAMOUS LEADER OF THE MAPS rs
CREDITED WITH DEVELOPING
THE SCHEME TO BLOCK THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HIT
AND RUN PLAY.

Larry Lajoie is credited with invent
ing a play which greatly reduced the
effectiveness of the hit and run, and
which limits that style OF play to right
field. His play was soon taken up in
both leagues.
A bluff start by the runner on first
when the hit and run was to be played,
showed whether the second baseman
or shortstop would cover second to
make the throw and the batter tried to
hit through the position TO be left un-
guarded. Larry saw that this could be
broken up by switching orders on COW
ering second. It was a. simple play. but
had been long overlooked. The batter,
instead Of hitting through an ungua=d-
ed position, hit into a sure double play
If he made a grounder. That was the
end OF the bluff start to see who would
cover.
/. The necessity Of both the second
baseman and shortstop being able to
tag out runner was another result OF
Larry's play. 1t naturally followed
that the better infielder at putting the
ball on the runner would take most OF
the throws. The batter tried to hit
through the strong players territory.
taking It for granted that he would
cover second. The inhelders at second
began to divide the work accordingly
to the batters being right or left field
hitters.
The hit and run has come to be con-
sidered good play only when the bat
ter can hit the ball between first and
second basenan AS few can do this,
the hit and run has ceased to be the
style of any one team.

IN THE SPORTING HIPPODROME
.DOBIE RESPECTS
COACH REUBER
FORMER ATHLETIC DIRECTOR OF
THE A. c. SAYS HIS HARDEST
GAME WAS AGAINST A TEAM
THAT REUBER coAcHED-RE.
sPEcTs REu5ER's ABILITY.

Gilmore Dobie, the former famed
athletic director at the North Dakota
Agricultural college has the utmost
respect for Arthur Reuber the present
A. C. coach. Dobie says his hardest
game was against team that Reuber
coached and that he has the highest
respect for the A. G. coach's ability.
The following is a story from a Sc
attic paper regarding the game in
question:
Washington university rooters would
never concede it, but I'm telling
you now that the greatest victory
Washington won in the last three
years was that over whitworth coll
lege of Tacoma, the first year / came
cut here. We have beaten Oregon,
Washington state and all the rest OF
them since then, but no victory ever
gave so much satisfaction as the one
over Coach Reuber's team"
Gilmore D )pie, the lean, lugub-
rious and efficient coach of the Wash
ington university football eleven
which has won three northwestern
championships running, made this
statement in a football tanning bee fol-
lowing the Oak Park Wenatchee game
Monday night. Talking to the writer
18th characteristic OSCILLATIONS. Do5ie
continued:
81 shall never forget the game and I
doubt if l shall feel as we'll satisfied
as did when my men trotted off the
field with a "a to 1 score in their
favor. That was my first year out
here and knew little about the other
teams. BY inquiring I discovered that
Whitworth had held Washington to 4
to score the year before. I asked
the men at the university, who were
supposed to know something about
football what kind of a team Whit
worth had
They'll be easy for you; it's only
Whitworth of Tacoma, they replied.
II wasn't satisfied, but continued my
| inquiry until ! had learned more OF
Whitworth's best plays.
"You will remember" said Dobie,
that for forty minutes of that game
we were outplayed. / was never in
such stew before in all my life. Whit
worth was playing US off our feet and
| just missed scoring touchdowns seye
raj times. But Reuben had coached
his team to play only 40 minutes.
| insisted on a longer second half and In
the last 10 minutes Washington made
all its points and won the game"
Dobie, by the way, has great re-
spect for Arthur Reuben as a coach
and says he would make good with the
best Of them in the northwest.

There's A WHOLE
LOT in A name
JACK KNIGHT WRITES ABOUT
THE ADVANTAGES THAT A
PITCHER WITH A BIG NAME
HAS OVER THE CUB WHO Is
FIGHTING HIS WAY.

Jack Knight the shortstop of the New
York Yankees, who has turned base
ball writer this winter. is writing some
interesting dope on the national game,
as can be seen by the following extract
from one of his articles:
Contrary to the usual answer to
that old query, what's in a manner
there is lots in a name. Take two
pitchers, one young and practically I'M
known, the other old and enjoying a
reputation as a star. That youngster
will have to pitch almost twice as well
as his more prominent rival to win in
the same number Of games. The bat
ter faces the youngster with all sorts
of confidence, and that confidence en-
ables him to hit the ball. But facing
the fellow with the reputation the bat
ter holds him in respect and that loss
of supreme confidence enables the
pitcher to dispose of that batter.
zone of the frequent remarks heard
during a game is: That fellow hasn't
thing. He's beating us with his
name It's a common occurrence to see
youngster or an unknown pitcher have
everything a pitcher should have
speed, curves and judgment--and yet
be batted out of the box, while some
old fellow will go in with only "a
prayer as the players term it, and win
his game. Base stealers, for instance,
won't take liberties with catcher who
lis famous for throwing out runners,
and until man does get a reputation
they are continually trying to steal.
Likewise a catcher will just snatch at
chance to throw some player out.
in fact, want to see them try stealing,
but when a fellow with a rep gets on
the bases the catcher loses that con-
fidence and does not throw as well as
he is capable Of
"Ty Cobb is perhaps the most reck-
less base runner in the American
league; he doesn't stay still on one
base unless some one hits before he has
chance to steal. The pitchers and
catchers know him and are so anxious
to catch him that they make more
wild throws than on any one else
"A star thus has much easier road
to travel than the fellow who has yet
to win his spurs. The fans are always
with the star; they know his record
and reputation like a book, and he can
do no wrong. He may have the worst
day of his life, but won't be censured
for it. The fans know what he can do
and has done; his reputation sustains
him. and he is pardoned on the score
that, oh, he's all right; just an of day
The fellow who has yet to make a
reputation must account for every
omission, and every break he makes is
taken as n criterion of what he will 10
in the future.
