signaled Bush to sacrifice on the first
ball pitched. There was groan from
a dozen baseball men who realized
that Jennings practically was refus-
ing to let Adams throw away his own
game. Bush hunted, Detroit scored,
but had Bush been permitted to wait.
Detroit probably would have won that
game in the first inning, driven Adams
off the slab, and, had they done that
Adams never would have pitched
again in that series; as it was he
steadied, won the game, came back
stronger and again still stronger and
won the championship for Pittsburg.
In spite of that lesson Connie Mack
did exactly the same thing In the
World series in 1911, refused to let
Marquard throw away his game in the
first inning, and almost lost the game
by it.
One of the mysteries of baseball for
many years has been the excessive
hitting power of every team Connie
Mack, commander of the Athletics,
leads. 1 believe the secret Of his sue
cess lies in this jockeying with pitch
ers, waiting persistently to get the
pitcher outguessed and puzzled and
then breaking up the game with long
drives. believe that Mack has the
following system of upsetting oppos-
ing pitchers, no matter how effective
they may be: His team starts to do
one thing in the first inning. If it
starts to wait on the pitcher it waits
consistently, every batter doing ex-
actly the same thing. Perhaps for
three innings, every batter will wait
as long as possible before hitting.
Then, just as the opposing pitcher be-
gins to figure that the Athletics will
take strike or two and begins shoot
ing the first ball over, the Athletics
change and each man swings with full
force at the first ball. Sometimes they
do this for two innings, until the
pitcher changes; then they will let the
first ball go and every batter will hit
the second ball. They keep at 1t I'M
til, in some inning, they get the clus-
ter of drives for which they have been
pay luSy pOuAu OuI q UuACu VI IuAo
and win.
There is no way of proving the
theory, except by the scores, as Mack
is about as communicative as a deaf
and dumb diplomat, but in the scores
l analysed it was remarkable to see
how many of the Athletics did the
same thing, and hit the same ball in
certain innings. The idea of the sys-
tenn seems to be to force the pitcher
to do the guessing, rather than to try
to outguess him. And such system,
persisted in and changed suddenly,
would explain the hitless, fruitless in
nings during which some pitcher
seemed to have the Champions at his
mercy, and the sudden. slam-bang on
slaught brings victory.
There is science and skill in the
actual hitting Of ball. but the real
value Of hitting lies in advancing run
ners who already are on bases: The
sacrifice bunt, the bunt and run, the
hit and run and hitting as the runner
starts, as differentiated from the hit
and run. No club that simply at

drawn close with intent to throw to
the plate. The ball was hit to Mclnnis
on the second short bound, or rather
to his right, and as he was coming for
ward and scooped the ball perfectly.
he had an easy play to the plate. In.
stead Of throwing there he flashed the
ball like a shot to Barry at second
base, whirled, raced for first and
caught Barry's return throw on top OF
the bag. completing the double play.
It was a wonderful play both in
thought and execution, but l do not
advise any other first baseman to at
tempt it.

In baseball means to force him into a
position where. to avoid giving a pass,
he must pitch the ball over the plate.
II the count is two and no strikes, the
batter is morally certain the next ball

straight or a curve and he also

his education at the end of the sixth
year in primary school, in which he
spends six years. In this school great
strens is laid on moral education. The
mid1le school, which follows it, lasts
Ave years, and corresponds in part to
the last years Of the grades U. S.
schools and the first year of high
school.
From the middle school boy either

years course in preparation for the

higher school he may enter one of the
two imperial universities, which have
professional courses in law, medicine,
science. literature. philosophy, engi-
neering and agriculture similar in all
respects to the courses in the better
universities of our own country.
The Japanese boy thus begins his
education at about the same age as
the boy in the United States, enters
the university little younger than
the United States boy, and finishes
his professional school somewhere be-
tween the ages of twenty-three and
twenty-five.

For girls the elementary school is

lem Of the steal is much more compli-
Gated. Most managers oppose steal
ing third, except in rare cases, on the
grounds that the risk does not justi-
fly the gain, as a hit or bad error
will score runner from second as
easily as it will from third.
In regard to the stealing of third.
With a runner on second and no one
out, the sacrifice bunt. even with the
new ball, seems the play if the score
is close-that is, close enough for one
run to tie, or put the attacking team
in the lead. With one out the steal is
justified, especially when the fielders
around second do not hold up runners
or when the pitcher VIGOROUSLY is
weak in watching bases. In that sit
uation would advise attempts to
steal at every opportunity provided
the team is ahead or only one run be-
hind If more than two runs behind.
stay at second and wait for hits; the
chances of scoring on short passed
balls, wild pitches, or fumbles that
would not permit scoring from second
are too small to be counted on. The
only justification for stealing third
with two out, in my mind, is that the
runner intends to bump Or interfere
with the third baseman and strive to
force him or scare him into letting the
ball go past far enough to permit
scoring. This evidently was McGraw's
idea in at least two cases during the
last worlds series-either that or his
base runners blundered most aston
ishingly.

Editor of The Miner:

To the Editor Of The Miner:
Last Sundays issue Of the Press
Times, paper controlled by Harry l..
Day, contained an editorial article
with me as the subject, calling the at
tention of this community to the waste
forts to uncover the connection be-
tween the Federal Mining and Smelt-
ing company and the United Stores
company, the latter of which enjoys
the monopoly of the store and board
ing house business at Mullan. 1t must
have, occurred to readers of the Press
Times that this article was actuated
| by something less than an honest de-
sire to protect the taxpayers of Sho-
shone county and it does not need
much stretch of the imagination TO
discern the malicious spite that char
acterizes SO many of the actions of the
titular head of the lead wing of the
lGuggenheim smelling trust.
Since, however. Mr.. Day has used
the columns of the paper which he
controls for the purpose of personal
attack upon me l take this opportun-
ity of calling the attention Of the pub
lie to the practical method in which
Mr.. Day puts his soicitude for the tax
payers into effect l call upon the
proper authorities to do their duty and
see to it that the inheritance tax up-
on the valuable mining property con-
veyed to Eugene r. Day and his br,-
hers and sisters by their father, be
forthwith paid. The amount, running
into some thousands, at least will go Il
long way towards placing my account
with the taxpayers on the right side
Of the ledger and, in fact, should give
IN appreciable balance in my favor.
Information concerning this matter
nay be obtained from the records Of
the county.
Mr.. Henry l.. Day, in old age and
declining health conveyed "all inter
ests in any and all mining claims and
mining rights in Shoshone county,

The grantee of this deed was Eu-

his wife, Nina d. Crittenden, and he
will not have to pay delinquent taxes
or penalties imposed by the state on
the property from 1903 to 1913. But
Crittenden paid into the county treas
ury today $4,911, taxes and penalties
from 1895 to 1908.
The Crittenden homestead in San
Pablo avenue between Twentieth and
Twenty-firSt streets, known as the

est in the city and has a unique his
tory. In 1894 Crittenden, in con-

fused to pay his taxes on the ground
that his personal and real taxes were
combined. He fought the case in the
courts, but lost. His home was sold to
the state the following year.
Since then he has kept UP an inces-
SAINT fight in the courts. and on ac-
count of the litigation over the prop
erty and the consequent cloud on the
title, the state was unable to sell the
property.
