BY II. c. BYRD.

The Southern Auditors win the cham
pionsnip of the first series in the Ter
minal Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. League. The
Auditors get the honor on a decision
handed down by the league at a meet
ing yesterday, game being added to
the lost column of the General Office.
The decision grew out of a game sched-
uled early in the year between General
Office and Car Department, and for
which neither team had a full quota
of players on the field. The rule of the
organization governing such cases
states clearly that both teams should
forfeit one game in their standing. and
the effect of this rule gives Auditors
first place in the first half of the
schedule.
games in the league have been called
off for the remainder of the week. The
schedule will be resumed next Mon
day.
There was no decision in the game in
the Potomac League yesterday, Con-
gress Heights playing the Bureau to a
II to IL tie Both teams hit the ball
hard and scored often. Congress
getting six men across the plate In
that period. In the sixth four more
men walked over the pan for that club.
The other run made by Congress
Heights came in the very first chapter.
Bureau tailed two counts in the open
ing inning, five in the third and two
each in the fifth and sixth. The game
was called at the end of the seventh.
Davidson caught a nice game for the
Congress Heights nine, while Morti-
mer fielded brilliantly for Bureau. Nor
timer handled nine chances without an
error. Pearson and Taylor, both OF
Congress Heights, hit for home runs.
The Gibraltars took the measure of
the Hilltops by to Z. winning by
scoring twice in the last inning
Tripplett, who played third base for
the Hilltops, clouted out three hits.
which was only to be expected II he
lived up to his name. Smith of the
Gibraltars and Dries of the Hilltops
both pitched good ball. Smith f1elded
his position perfectly, handling six
chances. Redden. Boteler. White, Tom
lin and Mortimer all connected for two
hits each Mains. who held down first
base for the Hilltops. drove the ball
far enough on his one hit to round
the circuit for homer.

Difficult, But Not Impossible.

Suppose. however. for the sake of
argument that the infielder saw the
runner trying to Score and threw home
instead Of attempting to get the man at
first? The play, under such circum
stances, is much more difficult, but not
impossible 1t was on such play that
I scored when ! passed Crawford and
was called out. The inffelder in such
a case has to reverse his play in the
moment of operation. 1t is not easy
to have a certain play in mind and then
in the fraction Of second have an
entirely different play imperatlvely
called for. 1t takes almost any infield-
err a fraction of a second to adapt his
motions to the new play, to change his
mind, if | may use that term. Further
more. play thus changed at the elev-
enth hour. or rather at the eleventh
fraction of second. is apt to be wild.
1.-The infielder is startled momentarily
by the unexpected He is in tremen-
dous hurry. He tries TO make differ
ent play than the one he planned. He is
apt to tumble the ball in an effort to pick
it up quickly. If he doesn't he is apt
to throw wild. Furthermore. the catcher
is also taken off his guard. He is more
apt to tumble the ball than otherwise.
The runner is tearing in from third.
There is only the briefest time in which
to act and everything has to be done
correctly, and, above all, without an in
stant's hesitation. 1t is the human equa-
ton which upsets the defense every time.
Il used to figure out dozens of these
plays. They are all based on the So
called science of probabilities. Very
often they would fail. but that isn't the
point. A certain percentage of them are
bound to fail. Those that succeed are
the ones that count. And even those
which fail have their uses. They show
the opposition that they can never know
what to expect You simply cannot pre-
pare for the unexpected. Such situa-
ton leaves feeling of unrest in the
defense. They are momentarily help
less. 1t Is plays such as these which do
more to demoralize a defense than a
horne run with men on bases.
1.-THE German kaiser is reported to
have followed the theory of frightful-
ness in war. 1t may be poor rule for
the Sunday school class, but 1 should
say it would be a first-rate theory in war.

angle. There's only a shade of diff
ference between the play that sets the
fans aglow and another that makes
them yell in derision. Only a shade,
but it's the big shade between failure
and success.
Another play that was even more
sensational was to score from second
on an infield out. That is a play that,
to my judgment. is about the prettiest

hand, you would be inclined to think
it was impossible. But there are lots
of impossible things that can be done
If they are handled right. 1 was called
out at the plate on a play of this kind
once that was a classic. | was on sec
ond. The ball went to the shortstop. I
reached home on the play and tagged
the plate successfully. But 1 was out.
How? Very simple.
Had Tremendous Lead.
II had a tremendous lead of second
base. When the ball was hit I was
nearly to third. When it reached the
shortstop's hands / was headed for
home. ! beat the throw to the plate.
And I was out. Why Because Sam
Crawford was on third base at the time.
He didn't see the possibilities of the
play in the light I did. He didn't run
W
plate. So I was automatically out on
the umpre's decision. 1t was a freak
play, all right, but it shows the posi-
biiities of scoring from second on an
criticise man on third for trying to
score on such play, to say nothing of
trying to score from second.
II made the same play the other day
in Philadelphia. There was no one on
third at the time, so l had a clear field
And 1 crossed the plate ahead of the
throw. But as I was in somewhat of
hurry. I neglected to tag the plate. 1t
was q little omission on my part that
led the umpire to call me out when the
catcher got me. But it showed that the
play could be made all right.
There are various reasons why the
play ought to succeed quite frequently.
OF course, like all trick plays. 1t must
be unexpected, otherwise 1t Is not near
ly so valuable.
1.-The man on second base must have
a long lead. The infielder who gets the
ball naturally has his mind set on get
ting the runner at first. He does not
foresee what the man who was on sec
ond is going to attempt. Suppose he
follows the regulation play and lines
the ball to first. The first baseman
the play then has to line
the ball to the catcher. The latter has
runner with 1t. Now this demands six
separate and distinct operations by
three different players. The infielder
has to catch the ball and has to throw
it to first. The first baseman has to
catch it and throw 1t to the catcher.
The latter has to catch it and tag the
runner. Now the runner ought to
have rounded third base before the in
fielder got his hands on the ball. If
so, that would mean that these six
operations had to be performed by
three different players in less than the
time necessary for a fast man to get
from third to home 1t needs quick
and accurate work on the part of the
infield to catch man on this play
where the breaks are right. And quick
work that is hurried is seldom per-
fectly accurate.
