KELLER AND MORAN FIRST
 TO USE HIT AND RUN PLAY

MANY of the SO called inside" plays
 in baseball have been the result of careful thought and study by man agers and players. Some of the most important of these and still used at the present time were accidental discover fes developed into teamwork by heady expIoiters of the game, who were shrewd enough to appreciate their value and systematize them to the ad- vantage that winners always gain by taking the initiative on good things.
 The Init and run'' play that is now used generally by all well managed teams was inaugurated as a run mak- ing innovation and systematized to a science by the noted Baltimore Orioles in the early nineties by the s11rewdness of John McGraw and Willie Kee1er, who were teammates. in that famous aggregation of successive champions of the National league.
 The eeplacing'' of the ball to right field when a runner was on first base is a play almost as old as baseball it. self, but it was done by individuals and not made a part and parcel of team work
 It was considered the proper move to make under certain conditions. and some players tried to perfect them selves in right field hitting, but man agers and ckptains in the earlier days of the game did not grasp the fact that 1t should be followed up as a system.
 Those players who could hit into

BASEBALL IS COSTLY
 COMPARED WITH PAST

A NUMBER of interesting references
 were made to the early days of professional baseball at the recent an niversary dinner of the National league in New York city. None at traeted greater attention than the reading of the finances of the senior organization for its initial year.
 The report showed that the receipts of the league amounted to $821. .82. Each of the eight clubs forming the association contributed $1OO and a sporting goods firm the remainder.
 The expenses of the league for the year 1875 was $475.50. leaving a bal ance of $34632. The chief item of ex- pense was the salary of $40O paid to Nick Young, who served as secretary and treasurer during the first year of the leagues existence. Postage lac- counted for $17.25, with stamps cost ing 8 cents each in those days. Sta-' tionery amounted to $20.45; score sheets, $6.65; record book, $4.50, and a postofice box $4.75. There were a few stray items for teIegrams. pins and other office appurtenances. but no mention of rent.
 As opposed to this statement, the financial report of the national base ball commission for 1914 give an ex- ceIlent idea of the growth of the busi- ness end of the game. The National league in 1875 was the dominating fac

tor in baseball, just as the national commission is the supreme court of the. game today At the end of 1913 the national commission had a balance Of S27,7Os.03. The receipts from alI sources during 1914 amounted to z$41. -s 955.12, giving a total of $69.664.15. Ow- ing to the baseball war and other un- usual and unsettled conditions the ex- penses of the commission were far above normal. The books show that during 1914 the disbursements of the commission amounted to $6S,17s.OS. leaving a balance of $1.4S6.07 with Which to start 1915.
 These expenses, which were roughly three times larger than in 1911, cover large field of activity such as Nick Young never dreamed of and were due to the growth of the game and the con ,1tct that waged for its control. The national commission paid $26, ,217.1zzfoE salaries and STA. .24s.Ss for legal fees alone in 1914 Advertising and the ex- penses of members of the commission cost $S,271 and $3.542.O6. respectively. Stationery, printing and typewriting amounted to $2.139.93. The charge of telephone and telegraph service ran up to $1,O92.02. Office rent was $1.2S4 and postage $425. against $17.25 for the National league in 1875. These figures testify mutely to the development of Americas national sport

 In those times it was a case of slug and slug again and as often as possi- ble break the back fences if the batter could. About all the science displayed was in pitching, and that was thought to be in delivering the old round house outcurve.
 The Init and run" was "discoVered'' when in a game Keeler, who was at bat, with McGraw, who led off for the Orioles, on first, hit a short single to right, McGraw going to third.

 After that particular game was over they talked the play over between -thense1ves-they were ''roonies,''- by the way-and it dawned on them that if continued it would win. many a game.
 They agreed not to confde in their fellow players or in Manager Hanlon as to what they had decided to do as a team until they had tried out the plan further. so as to make sure of it's success.
 For a week they teamed it together, and it worked to a charm. Then they told their plan to Hanlon and their clubmates.
 From that time on the Orioles went to the front with a sensational rush.

Chinese Soccer Leader at Minnesota

THE University of Minnesota boasts
 of an athlete who has not only dis tinguished himself upon 9Northrop field, but also has won fame in the far east says the Minneapolis Journal.
 Wen Ping Pan, just elected to the captaincy of the Minnesota soccer football team. bears the distinction of being one of the greatest athletes of the orient.
 Pan attracted the attention of sport followers the world over three years ago when he won the pentathlon in the all eastern Olympic games at Manila In these games he competed against the leading athletes of China, Japan, India, the Malay archipelago and the Philip pines.
 Wen Ping Pan was born in Shanghai China. He brides himself on his pure Chinese descent. His father was edu- cated in one of the American mission ary schools in Shanghai and later studied medicine in one of the Chinese

Successful Bowlers
 Must Have Confidence

FTHAT speed should be sidetracked
 for control in bowling before one becomes highly proficient is the opin- ion of James Donal, the Minneapolis expert. "The main thing to learn is control,'' he says. Don't worry about your speed at the start. You can reg ulate that later. It is not necessary to throw a fast ball, but if it comes naturally continue to use it. Many so called experts condemn speed, but Jim my Smith does not roll a funeral balk When you have reached the 175 and ITO average stage you no doubt will \ become interested in what is known as 'stuff,' or the English the ball. Next to control, it is most essential There never was a real good bowler who did not have some stuff
 Perhaps you have noticed certain bowlers hit the head pin full and get away with it. while every time you have done so you have drawn a split. That is because you have choked your ball with a tight grip, causing it to skid halfway down the alley, with the result that wien it reached the pins it had been spent.
 Stuff can be put on in four diff ferent ways-by lifting the ball with the forefnger, by tilting it with the loose finger as you let go, by turning the thumb in the hole and by twisting the wrist. Hook ball bowlers generally have lot more of this English than the straight ball bowlers, but the con trol is more difficult. On full hit the straight ball usually gets the larger count, while a thin hit it is the hook which sweeps the most pins.
 ''The big average man is shooting at the 1-3 pins, and, although he might not always hit this spot, he is keeping everIastingly at it. Control is the first essential and when a bowler is able to make spares consistently then he can take up a little stuff to produce a slight hook, thus turning a deadly straight ball into a good working balF for strikes. That done, you have your finished bowler.
 DO not judge a bowler by his big scores, but by his low ones. Almost anybody can get a big total once in awhile, but a good bowler rarely is guilty of very small score Don't let anybody tell you about splits being hard luck. A good bowler ought not to get them. If they happen there is something wrong with the grip or the delivery. Use your own brains in cor recting the fault.''

Says Matty Has Lost His Fast Ball

First of all feared that speed ball. I figured that could hit his other offer fngs, but his speeder was something fierce. He never threw it often enough for us to get familiar with it or with the motion he used. He depended on it only at unexpected moments, and he controlled it perfectly.
 "The men who last longest in base ball are those who conserve their en- ergy, using it only when absolutely needed. Matty, Wagner and Lajoie are instances. No one ever saw Matty pitch his arm off when it wasn't nec- essary. If his team got away with lead he took things easy and saved his arm. And Matty is still in the game. while hundreds with arms that seemed powerful, but whose brains gotten.'

universities He practiced medicine until his death two years ago.
 Wen Ping Pan broke into the ath- letic Hme1ight for the first time when he was only seventeen years old, when he won the high and low hurdles in the same missionary school in which his father was educated. He trained un- Ger his fatherssr instruction and ire- ceived his reward when he won lne pentathlon at the all eastern Olympic games three years later.
 He was selected by the Chinese gov ernment shortly afterward to repre- sent his country in one of the Aneri- can universities. At the close of the Boxer rebellion China was forced to pay a large indemnity. but the United States refused it's share of the tribute. and the Chinese goYernInent appropr5= ated his money for the education of Chinese students in America Pan is one of the students who are receiving the benefit of this fund.

APPREHENSION no longer possesses
 fast ball. That alone is the reason for his lost effectiveness; says Miller Huggins of the Cardinals. Tn eAe old days he had a wonderful fast. one. He rareIy used 1t, but when he did it was effective. He used it to cross batters, and he turned that trick for years. Now that his speed has gone, Matty is slowly but surely los ing his grip, although his wise old head will keep him in the game for some time yet.

Usually this average has been held, but of late the tendency has been to retire the playing managers, and no playing managers are being hired to take their. places. Herzog, playing mana ger, relieved Tinker in Cincinnati, but s'Herzy" almost lost his job this winter to Jack Hendricks, which would have ended the playing manager in the big leagues.

 most extinct? Only few were led by player managers, but since the Federal league advent all but Charley Herzog Of the Cincinnati Reds has disappeared. When the 1916 sea- son opens Charley will have the dis tinctton of being the only real playing leader in either of the big circuits. Miller Huggins of the Cardinals says he may play a little, but he no longer regards hirnse1f as the regular second baseman of the club. At one time in the games history the playing man ager was all the go. and it was seldom that a bench manager worked into the game.

 In New York the playing managers during the last fifteen years have been very rare.
