TRICKS OF THE CATCHER.
How Kline Used to Talk Batters Into
Missing Balls.

The catcher has been the centre of
trickery in baseball from the days when
they used to stretch rubber bands
across their hands and, by swapping
them at the right moment, used to de-
celve the umpire into calling foul tip
batter out. johnny King was a
great catcher and was also full of
tricks. He was always quiet, and was
continually talking, casually in q sympa-
thetlc and friendly tone of voice Ere
quently his quick utterance of chit
It would result in the batter making
hard, futile swing at the ball.
King used TO gain the confidence Of
batters by telling them what was com
ing while they stood at the plate Of
course, they all were suspicious and
would not believe him, but before long
he would say, Here comes a fast one
right across the middle and the ball
would cut the heart of the plate I'M
molested. By work such as this he
threw batters entirely off their stride
and had them guessing.
Scarcely less disconcerting was the
constant line of talking of Louis Orig
er, the great Boston and st. Louis
catcher. Criger talked all the time. a
constant stream of conversation, scoId-
ing, abuse, quarreling with the umpires
and batters.
Charlie Doom, now with the Giants,
has been extremely successful in get
ting batters angry, drawing them into
arguments while they were at bat. pre-
tending to be angry. He could get
their minds off the game and almost
: make them forget that they were at
bat, or else get them so angry they
would strike out trying to kill the ball
One of the funniest things that has
ever been recorded in the annals OF
| baseball history, was worked by the
late Tim Hurst and Tim Donohue, the
once famous Chicago catcher. Tread

Only One Player in Series
Ran to First and He
Made Second
MANY DISGUSTED
WITH LACK OF LIFE
Old Days of Fines Would Have Forced
Players to Act Alive, But Managers
Hands Are Tied Now In Effort to
Keep Harmony and Prevent Jumping

What lack of discipline has done to
baseball in the way Of taking the win
ming spirit out of it was demonstrated
in one of the games of the late world 5
series-the third battle. In that game
there were whole lot of fly balls hit,
an unusual number of them. Both Alex
ander and Leonard had so much stuff
on their fast balls that the batsmen
were hitting under them, and the
pitcher s slab at the Braves park is
elevated so much that the bah seems
to be coming down all the time.
Well, the point is that not half of
the batsmen who hit those fly balls
ran as far as first base. Only when q
man drove out a long fly or one that
looked as if it might go between
feeders did the batsman start out as
if he had any hope of getting any
where, much less to second base. In
the best of outfelds accidents some
times happen, and a sure fly is occa-
sionally dropped by a good man. Few
of the batsmeh who hit an easy fly
that day would have reached second
if a muff had occurred, and when a
bali is hit high in the air there should
be plenty of time for a runner to get
to second if it is muffed.
The conditions in that game Were
particularly favorable to accidents
The outffeld of Braves park is not
smooth, on account of the new turf
which has not had time to knit, so has
uneven spots against which a player
may catch his pixies and throw him
out of stride when running under q
| fly. The sun bothers two of the three
| felders badly.
In the first inning of that game an
easy fly was hit to center field. II
| looked like cinch for Speaker, but
Just before the ball got to him he lost
it in the sun, misjudged it, and let il
fall at his feet. Stock, who hit the
ball, reached second base easily. HC
was one of the exceptions, for he ran
just as hard on that fly as if he
thought it was going to fall safe, al
though he knew in his heart thcr,
was less than one chance in thou
| sand

going that far before the ball was
caught.
This may seem little thing. It did
not cut any figure in the result of that
game because the man who hit the only
fly that was missed did play the game
and reached second on the slip. But 1t
is indicative of the spirit of the players
toward their bread and butter game.
They are too proud to exert themselves
any more than necessary and are
afraid somebody will yell at them de
risively if they run hard on an easy
out.
In the old days the batsman who
stopped running at his best speed be
fore he was out, even on q muffed third
strike, was likely to be fined heavily.
Today If manager penalzed his play
ers for such little oversights some OF
them would be owing the club money
at the end of the season.
Because the Federal league offers a
sure haven for all the dissatisfied play
ers who don t like to work or keep
themselves in perfect condition and be-
cause the players fraternity yells
about the injustice of filming player
without having his case tried by a
jury of players, managers who want to
keep their teams on the jump every
instant find their hands tied.
So the game has dropped back to a
listless affair when played by stars
who draw big salaries.
That was why the late world s series
in the main disguised the old-timers
among the players and writer's who
saw it. One would think that in a
world s series, playing for the highest
honors of the year before the largest
throngs of the year, player would be
willing to exert himself to the utmost
to take advantage of a possible brea

RUGBY GAME FAILED.
California Colleges Tried it, but Gave
Ii Up for Good,

Rugby In southern California has been
put IN It's little pine box and planted
beneath the daisies. The English game
had its chance to show with the public
and with the young gentlemen who have
blood-thirsty dispositions, and mani
testify it has failed.
When, in the fall of 1906, Stanford
and California universities, with the
aid and guiding hand of motherly set
OF faculty members, decided that the
American game was too rough and took
up Rugby, everything seemed rosy for
the imported pastime.
Pomona college in the South took
the speediest fling at the sport. With
the entire list of high schools in its
locality it went over. After three weeks
of Rugbying, during which two defeats
were suffered at the hands of California
and Stanford, it had switched back to
the American brand.
Down through the years the game
hung on and just that. University of
| Southern California gave it two-sea-
son trial and quit. 1t was not salts
factory from box office or any other
point
The downfall of Rugby can be traced
to a great many things. Manifestly the
game is not adapted to the American
spirit, for the teams absolutely refused
to play the game, carefully as coaches
would drill their forwards All instruc-
Itions were dropped with the whistle
and the contest invariably became a
general rough house. And the worse the
rough house was the better the players
and bleachers liked it. Seldom did the
officials attempt to call infractions of
the rules.
The natural result was that the
team that would fight the longest and
hardest, and by sheer aggressiveness
overwhelm its opponent, was the team
that won the games.
The resulting mad scrambles were not
Rugby. They were called Rugby, but
that was the nearest they came to it.
Rugby did not fail in southern Cali
fornia because it is poor game, but
because nobody could be found who
either could or would play it.
