when the batter hit a foul a mile
high. No catcher should ever miss
a foul ball. 1t was rather windy
that day and Ryan went after it.

removed it just as he was about to
make the catch. He was bald. But
he didn't want everybody to know

stand howled for him to put his
cap on; that he was half I'M
dressed Ryan was go fiustered that
he put his big mitt on top Of his
head to cover his badness and let
the ball fall. That batter hit a
homer, and. since we didn't score
in our part of the inning, we lost
the game. No, sir; I'm against bald

Obsolete Baseball Must Go If
Crackers Are to Make Showing

One reason why the Giants have
stolen bases is because the Giants
are fast and because the batters
have used their heads and have en-
deavored to protect the base run
ners-not by taking a wild wal
at the ball every time a man was
going down but by doing what the
situation seemed to call for. There
is a theory that by hitting when a
man goes down there is a swell
chance that he can get to third. 1t
has been proved by the Atlanta
club this year that the batter was
lot more likely to hit into a double
play.
To win ball games a club must
use Judgment as well as speed. A
varied system of attack is neces-
sary. No one scheme is best To
fool the opposition man must
mix 'em up" and must have the
head to use the system that is best
under the circumstances.
HE recent adoption OF the re-
Vised national agreement isn't
OF especial interest to baseball fans,
though it is to ball players and club
owners.
For one thing, the draft price has
been raised. Now any club in the
big leagues who takes a PLAYER
from the Southern will have to nav
$1,000 for him. Here are the draft
prices: $4,000 for each player Sc
leoted from Glass AA; $500 for
each player selected from Glass A:
$1,000 for each player selected
from Class B; $3.50 for each player
selected from Glass G. and $500
for each player selected from
Class D.
It looked AT first as though this
increase in the price of drafted
players would materially cut down
the number drafted. but with the
prices Of real players going up so
fast IT is unlikely that there will
be any lessening Of the drafting
business.
Makes Contract More Bindjro.
One novelty of the new agreement
is that it attempts to strengthen the
contract. There has always been
q legal flaw in the old reservation
clause Of the contract, on the
ground that an employer had no
right TO reserve an employee as
there was no compensation for the
reservation. The new contracts
will provide that Is per cent of what
q man receives is for hts services and
20 per cent for the privilege Of re
serving him. Eminent lawyers are
of the opinion that this change has
patched up the hole in the old con
tracts and that the new ones are
legally binding.
Another good point in the new
agreement is the provision that
every player who is TO be sent out
Of either league mast be waived by
both before he is allowed to drop
70 any lower classification. This
viii in a measure make il more
likely that all really deserving play
ers VIII he kept In the big ring
and that nobody win he farmed
except such PLAYERS as have no
chance OF making good in fast COM
pany.

We went into the series last fall a

One Of the big causes OF fiabbiness,
under the Re1nphi7l regime, was the
use OF ancient methods.
A lot of plays that are accepted
as the real thing by a lot Of base

one of the poorest moves IN base
ball for example, II the constant
use Of the "pitch-out' or waste
ball" The pitch-out is usually en-
ploycd either to break up the hit

And il isn't worth a continental
cuss unless somebody has actually
caught the signals Of the opposition
and really has reason to suspect
that the hit-and run or the steal is
to start on the next BAH pitched,
Fine! II You Know Signals.
II the catcher knows positively
that the base runner win try TO
steal on the next ball, he signals
for the pitch-out. The ball is

double play than anything else.
Give Runner = Chance.
Said John McGraw recently:
THE hit and run is air right. and
we play it often-but We try to In
sert It at the proper time. II one Of
our fast men has big lead on the
pitcher, and anybody can see that
he already has the base stolen, our
batsmen have brains enough to lot
him alone and let him have his
steal. Then you have several other
chances to hit. and the man on
second won't have SO far to travel
on your drive,
1--WE have some 100 runs more
than any other club. How many
of the extra runs We're gained by
extra stolen bases? Probably three
quarters. That's the answer"
