SHOWS REAL VALUE OF BUNT
Object to Be Gained Is in Second At.
tempt When Batter Should Hit the
Ball Bit Harder. 1l l4

What is the value of a bunt?''
Have you ever stopped to think over
this question? Well, no. Is it in the
first attempt or in the following?
Many argue that there is nothing to
a bunt but to lay the ball down with
runner on base and advance him by
sacrificing yourself That's not the
value of bunt, according to Mana.
ger Hickey of the Browns
Most players, when they are told
to lay it down with a man on base, get
in there and run it out. This is the
mistake many of them make. But
now, to show that the value of a bunt
is with the succeeding attempts: If a
batter bunts once, of course, the first
and third sacker will draw in the next
time he comes to the plate Then all
the hitter has to do is hit a little
harder, and nine times out of ten he
will own base hit.
"And right there is the real value
of bunt."
