The New York Americans have used

McGraw does not like the play and
rarely uses It. If the catcher calls for
n pitch out he can of course make the
man coming in look bad. He Is caught
half way down the base line and Is an
easy victim. McGraw figures If the
play goes wrong he sacrifices man at
third. who might be brought in with n
hit or sacrifice fly.
The Yanks. however. met their big
success with It by the daring way they,
used It, especially against Johnson
They practically beat Johnson In two
