"Then the whole situation changes.
It is evident by that time what your
pitcher is capable of and single run
becomes much more important than
It was in the first or second inning.
You will often see our men playing a
sacrifice game from the sixth inning
On, because by that time we may have
found out that one run will win for
US in the game for an inning or two
longer. This is very important prin-
ciple of the game and one that is
often overlooked by both players and
managers.
Whenever I see club fighting to
get one run around in the first or Sec
ond inning and neglecting possible
chances to score three or four runs,
have it figured out that we have a
good chance to beat that club. You
will often see a change in our style
of play as the game grows older, and
think the system will win many close
games for US"

There are perhaps more tricks
worked by and upon baserunners than
there are in any other department OF
baseball. The $50 feet around that
diamond are filed with pitfalls and
handicaps that make Tipperary appear
close at hand by comparison. One
would think that it is simple matter
to run around the bases when making
home run. But against trained
and experienced team it is hard mat
ter.
The batter drives ball to left cen
ter field. If he does not get away
from the plate quickly, the catcher
will spring in close to him, perhaps
lrop his mask in front of him, and try

He swings out on to the edge OF
the grass so as to make flying turn
at first base without losing much
ground. The first baseman remains

AL Bridwell, now with the Feds,

short and sharp, and there was small
chance for him to go to third on it..
He turned second at full speed. Tinker
was watching him and placed him.

His object was to make Bridwell
turn wide TO pass around him and
lose perhaps three or four steps in
distance. Bridwell saw the move. He
also saw that it was hopeless to try
to reach third. Instead he turned Sec
ond at top speed, dashed UP the line,
bumped Tinker, grabbed him and
fell.
In an instant he scrambled to his
feet and shouted to the umpire, who
turned just in time to see the two
men struggling to their feet. Natu-
rally he supposed Tinker had inter
fered. He let Bridwell go to third
and he scored on a fly and won the
game.
Not one of the Chicago players
kicked. They realized that Bridwell
had out-tricked them at their own
game, and gave him due credit for 1t.

First Half of Game Usually Played
in Way Differing From Last PEI
notwithstanding Theory of
Cincinnati Leader.

Manager Herzog of the Cincinnati
Reds believes that the first half of q
game of ball is usually to be played
differently from the second half, that
is, when applied to fairly close games,
He has quite an interesting theory
on this subject, which is entirely
original with him. "The average
player" said Herzog, "does not re-
alize the great difference between,
say, the first five innings of a game
and the last four innings. In the
early stages of game one doesn't
know how many runs are going to
be needed to win. 1t is impossible
to say how the pitcher is going to
go, or what the breaks are going to
be. A team may need only one run
to win or it may require dozen.
"The odds are that 1t will need
more than one. Therefore my policy
early in the game is not to play for
a single run, but to force the issue
and try to score as many as possible.
That is why don't believe in the sac.
rifice game around in the first or sec.
ond round, only to find that that lone
run is worth nothing to us.
1.-THE early half of a game should
be an effort to score just as many
runs as possible, for you never can
be sure how many you are going to
