~ HICAGO, ILL, Nov. Eff it is
worked properly, the hit and
run play is just as good play
as the sacrifice bunt, when the object
in view is to advance the baserunner.
! And if you've got the right kind of
man up there at the bat it oftentimes
! turns out better play
The White SoX have got the boy
| who knows how TO take care of the
hit and run play from the batsman's
standpoint The gent referred to is
| Hal Chase, the classy first sacker
or the many hit and run plays we
I saw pulled last summer we have yet
to see the equal of Chase on the hit
! ting end of the play.
Here is Halls argument. He firmly
believes that he can hit any ball that
! a catcher can catch, And when you
look. at the thing seriously it looks
as though there is a whole lot of logic
| to Halls argument. BY that, Hal
means that if the catcher signals for
| a pitch out that be certainly ought
| bat, if it is close enough for the
| catcher to catch.
| OF course, Chase don't mean chat ne
can hit safely every ball that the
| catcher can catch That would in
! deed be a silly boast. But by get
! ting a piece Of the ball" which would
result in a foul, Chase protects his
| baserunner, who otherwise would be
| thrown out by many feet at second
/ base And how foolish a runner looks
| when he's thrown out ten feet away
! from the bag. The bleacher occu-
| pants go after him and call him all
/ sorts of cruel names. They don't rea
lie that the batter failed to come
| through with his part of the play.
| Had the man with the club in his
! hand done his duty the throw out at
second base would never have oc-
| CURED.
Favorite Play With Sox.
| And the White SoX players, every
one of them, have the greatest faith
! in Chase when he's on the hitting end
| of the nit and run play. They have
| seen him make good so often that
| they seldom hesitate to hoist the hit
J and run signal with Il man on first
| or second and Chase at the bat OF
! course it would be bad baseball to
/ put on the play every time Hal was
up to bat, nevertheless it is one of
SoX favorite plays with the Califor

Archer Catches the Signal.
More than once last season we saw
! Chase come through in brilliant style
! in order to ir@dtect the runner OFT
! times We saw him literally throw his
! bat at the fast travelling ball At
| times he fouled the ball protecting
| his runner, and other times his true
aim resulted in the bat connecting

! If those who witnessed the final
game of the city series last fall viii
! brush up their memories they'll recall
just such a play as have men
toned. In the fourth inning of the
final game Of the series Lord was
! the first SoX hitter. HUMPHREYS
passed him Now with Lord on first
and Chase at bat. the White SoX
crack hit-and-ruu pair is before you.
