that sack is pulled away to field a
batted ball and to cover third when
the third baseman has to come in
for a bunt
When a foul fly goes up between
catcher and first baseman you
should coach them as to which
should take it. Similarly you
should call out when ball is be-
tween catcher and the third base
man.
w It'll runner on third, and
less than two down, don't fail
to make a slight bluff to throw to
third after fielding the ball clean
before you throw to first; other
wise, q fast and nervy base runner
may score on you while YOU are
putting the batter out at first.
My experience Is that it doesn't
pay to throw a whole lot to first
base to catch a runner who is lead
ing off: in the end it costs more
than you get out of il, for it isn't
once in % times that you get him.
while the average amateur pitcher
will throw it away at least once
out of five trials. But you must
throw there sometimes or he will
get too big a lead on you The
main idea of throwing to first, or to
any other base, in the majority Of
cases, is to pin the runner close.
but YOU want to make sure to throw
accurately each time, whether you
get him or not.
on a long throw-in to the plate
let it go through if YOU think it has
time to get the runner coming in
from third, otherwise. you should
stop the ball and whip it back to
second to get the batter who will
be going down there by this time.
The above points. it will be
noted. refer to fielding alone. not
pitching Perhaps we will take up
that subject in a later paper.
A VOLUME might be written on
the work Of the catcher: ana
80 might one be penned regarding
each of the other playing posi-
lions on a team. But my idea has
been not to theorize so much in
these articles as to be precise: |
contiue myself to giving definite in
structious in specific cases. for that
is what the amateur needs. 1t fol-
lows that / am leaving uusdid
much that might be dwelt upon,
but all that I do say is Of undoubt-
ed value and Importance.
First. let me say that the catch
er should never get careless or i'm
different in his work, for he is the
guardian of home plate the last
bulwark. Runners may get to first,
second or third without any par
ticular damage being done. for
none of it counts until they get
to the plate. For this reason alone
the catcher must always be wide
awake. He should never throw the
ball back to pitcher carelcssly, nor

one of the puzzles the pitcher
often butts into is whether to at
tempt the fielding Of a ground bali
that seems to be rather out of
reach, yet close enough to make
him think he might get it with a
hard effort Some pitchers let this
kind go by altogether, While others
go after every old thing that comes
along. OF the two | prefer the lat
ter. They should, however, realize
that by thus going after everything
in and out of reason they must
often fail themselves to get the ball
and at the same time spoil the
fielding of ii by the shortstop or
second baseman. They frequently
touch it just enough with their
finger tips to defect it from its
course and thus throw it out Of line
and away from the other man try
ing for it.
Much depends upon how fast the
ball is travelling, and also on how
FAST the men are behind you If
YOU think the ball is ripping along
at such a rate that IF you don't get
it neither will anybody else, you
should, of course try for it. If il

your hand at arms length for it:

may be rolling so slowly that YOU
realize at once it will never get to

be out of your reach.
