BASEBALL STRATEGY.
Brain Work OF More Importance Than

There are things In a ball game not
mentioned in the rules A team made
up of players who had never seen nor
read Of the game and had never had
any instruction outside of the rules
would have no hit and run plays, no
squeeze plays. probably no men caught
"hat footed" off base. no double steals,
no delayed steals, no shifting Of he in
field according to the runners on, the
score and the outs" no signaling, no
signal stealing, no hidden ball tricks,
no "stalling" tricks, by which plnyer
Is led to think ball is tielded in one
place when IL Is really tielded elsewhere
In fact the very heart and soul OF
baseball would be missing. The batter
would hit or walk and patiently wait
for his successor to hit or walk to nd
vance him Runs would be IN exact
proportion to hits, and outs would be
made ouy IN the stereotyped ways. and
nobody would care either to play or TO
see the game.
So II might be said, without much
fear Of contradiction that the strategy
of the game, the part played by brains
and wits. Is more to baseball than ath-
letic ability 70 run. hit. field or throw,
