Whenever a catcher cannot discover
a source, he always looks for the

that style Of wigwagging is very much
out of date now and strictly against

Eddie" Collins was on first base

the umpire.

Sure enough. The twirler delivered
a pitchout, and Collins stuck to the
bag like a countryman in a big city
to his bank roll.
Watch that curtain out there now
continued the catcher. II am going

Collins again stuck to the bag, and
the curtain, by a strange coincidence,
moved or appeared to move.

the catcher.

answered the umpire.
This discovering of the signs has
helped the Athletics immensely, be-
cause they wait until they have the
pitcher in a hole and he has to lay
the ball over. Then comes the hit

not think for a minute that / am
criticising the method. 1t shows that
they are a lot of smart ball players,
and it Is regarded as being perfectly
fair to take signs through quickness

Only artificial aids to detection are
against the rules. And the fact that
the opposing clubs always think the
Athletics are getting the signs gives
Mack's team an edge, whether 1t is
true or not.

veloped new system of getting signs
this spring which has baffled most of
the clubs so far.
As soon as the batteTs begin being
tipped to the catcher's signals, the
opposing club generally catches on.
Their sureness of hitting is an indi-
cation. Such a discovery starts a
search of the source of the informa-
tlon. Many backstOps, when working
against the Athletics this year, have
attempted to be so careful to conceal
their signs from the men on the
coaching lines that they crowd their
knees right up almost tight together
in the front when I'm the STOPPING pO-
Sition before the pitch, so only the
twirlers can see their fingers. The
result is that the sign shows out be-
hind The Athletics have been walk
ing n little bit out Of the line of
march from the bench to the home
plate when waiting to go to the bat
and watching the catcher from the
back. As soon as the man ION deck
awaiting his turn to hit sees a sign
for a curve ball, he says:
Take one, old boy -
This may not mean take one" at
all, but It does inform the batter in
the code that the pitcher is going to
deliver curve ball. If it is to be a
fast one he says:
Walk into 0ne!"

A CERTAIN official in the Ameri-

story the other day about a shrewd
catcher who became aware that the
Athletics were stealing his signals,
but was worried because he could not
locate the source. The official. him
self had discovered the means by
which they were being tipped off, but
it was none of his affairs to interfere,
unless the other club complained
about the waiting batters walking out
of the line to the plate.
