There's Many Tricks In
BasebaIl--Here's a Few

Look at the infield of a base
ball ground and perhaps you
would say they are all alike. The
average fan has little idea what
tricks are played on that infield
or how much the physical charac-
teristics of soil, grass, and sur
face have to do with the results
of games. Opposing teams, UNI
pires and sometimes league Off
Gals are compelled to watch all
the time for changes in the field
that will give the home team
some slight advantage.
Probably the most famous Of
the made to order" diamonds
was the old Baltimore field dur
ing the pennant winning days OF
the Orioles. The team was COM
posed chiefly of small, speedy
men, skillful hunters and they
were artists at CHOP hitting"
The field was of clay, and 1t
was soaked with water, tamped
down hard, then allowed to bake
until it was like hard asphalt.
The speedy ones shortened grips
on bats. hit down on top of the
ball and made 1t bound so high
that they were across first base
before the pitcher could catch II
and make the throw. l have seen
balls bound fully 40 feet high.

POOR GAME

VICTORIA. May 26-(Special)
Harold Peet and Tiny" Leon
ard, two slow and deliberate I'M
derhanders. were the center of
attraction for nine listless innings
yesterday afternoon. Both pitch
ers were hit often and Peet was
somewhat wild. Victoria won by
punching hits in the seventh and
eighth innings, to 4.
Stevens came back into his olo
form of hitting yesterday. He
landed two-bagger. three-bag-
ger and a single in four times at
bat. johnson, Wilson and Hogan
each got two hits, Hogan knock
ing home run In the fourth.
The game was tied 2 and 2 for
five innings. In the sixth Poets
underhand ball lost its hop and
Victoria began hitting. Tacoma's
rSns in the seventh and eighth
proved worthless.

| was down hill, that to second
down, the line sl0ped sharply up
to third and 1t was downhill
again to the plate.
The first and third base lines
were banked until they looked
like billiard cushions to keep
bunts from rolling foul-and
verify 1t was hard fora visiting
team to win there.
Pittsburg once banked the
third base foul line to hold hunts
on fair ground, and caused long
wrangle In the league.
Soaping the ground around the
pitchers slab is common, and
some managers have "doped" the
ground in the pitchers box, their
own men avoiding the "doped"
spots. Mixing red pepper or other
stuff with the soil has been done
repeatedly.
One favorite trick is soaking
the base lines to make the going
heavy for speedy teams.
The majority of these tricks
are forbidden by the rules and
the umpires will soak them il
they discover what Is being done,
but 1t is extremely hard to follow
the ingenious inventiveness of the
players who seldom repeat tho
old trick, but spend lot of times
thinking up new devices for get
ting a shade the better of it.

It's Tricks That Makes the Creates
Pitchers, Not Muscle or Curves

Pitchingg is the most highly
developed art in baseball.
Perhaps those in the stands see
nothing but strong arm, sharp
breaking curve.
Back of the curve, the slow
ball, the knuckle ball there is all
the brains and cunning, The gen.
eralship and quick thinking OF
the game. Occasionally. 1t Is true.
there comes some man so en-
dowed physically that for a sea-
son or two his speed and curves
make him unhittable. But the
pitcher who stands among thu
winners three years in succession
has more than that. At the end
of three years his speed Is less,
his arm tires more quickly, his
curve does not break as we'll
yet he is better pitcher than
ever.
Critics refer to it as brains. ="
Chiefly it is cunning. strategy, a
close study of opponents, and an
