average of four or FIVE hits to score

Beals Becker we're both playing on

made as many hits and as few runs

always seem to play it the wrong
way. If a man singles and the next
man sacrifices the next pair are al
ways easy outs. If the scheme of
things is shifted and the hit and
run play flashed, with man on
first. the batter always lines out
and the runner who was on first is
doubled off. Then. if a reversion to
old fashioned baseball is tried and
everybody takes q wallop at the
ball the first man will single. the
next man will hit short single,
sending the first runner to second
and the third man will scratch one

the next three men in a row will
