JEW YORK, Jan. S1.-Many of the

careful thought and study by managers

shrewd enough to appreciate their
value and systematic them to the adj
vantage that winners always gain by
taking the initiative on good things
The "hit-and-run" play. that is now
used generally by all well managed
teams was inaugurated as a un-mak-

science by the noted Baltimore Orioles
in the early sos by the shrewdness Of
John McGraw and Willie Keller, who
were teammates in that famous aggre-
cation Of successive champions.
The placing" of the ball TO right
field when a runner was on first base,
is a play almost as old as baseball it
self, but il 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 mana
