(By Paul Purman.)
An observing friend who accon.pan-
led me to a ball game last season
watched Chapman, leading base steal
er of the Cleveland Indians steal sec
ond base with a scanty margin IRIS
Speaker was at bat.
After the umpire's decision had
been made he turned to me and
asekd:
why did Speaker step so far back
Of the batter's box when Chapman
started to steal?"
The question interested me because
not n in a thousand would have
seen anything but the swift-footed
Chapman.
The fact is, that Speaker probably
has a great deal to do with Chap
mans wonderful base stealing record
Chapman beat out Ty Cobb this
year on the paths, 49,.
When he steps back Of the plate
he is pulling one Of the smoothest
pieces of split second baseball in the
game.
The step or two he takes throws
the catcher back just that much far
Their. 1t is legal but it makes the
pitcher throw two or three feet far
her to the catcher and the catcher
throw as much farther to second.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1917-12-18

The fraction of a second taken in
the extra feet the ball must travel
means a great deal on a close deci-
sion.i 1t may mean three feet to the
~baserunner and hat three extra feet
may mean an extra base and a ball
game.
1t is one of the little things in base
ball. seldom noticed by the fans in
the stands which makes the ballplay-
err great instead of merely mediocre.
Really great managers nowadays
are demanding speed and more speed.
The player who can cut a half {. Sec
cond off a run between bases is very
valuable.
Most teams are managed on the
proposition of run getting. Few
have the defensive ability of the Red
Sox, a club which played for one or
two runs and depended on an ironclad
defense and wonderful pitching to
make those runs win. 49,
!. And the moment the defensive team
began to crack-so slightly in fact
that baseball experts and wise man
ayers could not see that it was crack
ing-just that moment a run getting
team proceeded to knock the Red
sox out of first place.
