STEALING THIRD LOOKS so HARD
THAT FEW RUNNERS ATTEMPT 1T

II have wondered why third isn't
stolen oftener," said Moriarty. Il be-
lievc il is easier than TO steal second.
Things in its favor are that the
pitcher doesn't keep you nailed to the
bag as when you're on first.
The reason for not stealing may be
that runners fear that short throw
from the plate to third and because
they can score from second on any
sort OF a hit. anyway. But the timely
hit doesn't always come and If on
third you can score on a sacrifice fly.
las a matter OF fact II takes but a
fraction of a second longer for the
ball TO travel to second than to third
and this is overcome by the ability OF
the batter to interfere with the
cetcher's vision when throwing 70
third. It's beyond me TO explain why
third isn't stolen oftener."
