BASEBALL STRATEGY.
Brain Work of More Importance Thar
Mere Athletic Ability.

NtllCNiS
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
flat footed" off base, no double steals,
no delayed steals, no shifting OF the 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 player
is led to think a ball is tielded In one
place when it is really fielded 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 ad-
vance him. Runs would be in exact
proportion to hits. and outs would be
made only in the stereotyped ways, and
nobody would care either to play or to
see the game.
So it 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 TO run. hit. field or throw,
spectacular and exciting as plays made
only by strength. muscle and skill must
always bee. II. Claudy in St Nicho-
las.
