Heavy Hitting
Forces Filtered
Bases to Discard

Chicago, June 22-(By the Associ-
ated Press)-The stolen base, once
one of the biggest factors in the at
tack of world championship baseball
teams, has been thrown into the dis
card by the major league managers
of today. Records show that there
were nearly three times as many
stolen bases in the American league
and nearly twice as many in the Ma
tional league nine years ago as there
were last year and indications are
that the decrease this year over nine
Years ago will be still greater Where
there were ten star base stealers
there is now only one.
Many reasons for the decrease are
advanced by managers and men who
formerly were noted for their daring
on the paths. While all agree that
heavy hitting has helped in the ten
dency to make the stolen base extinct
some also blame the ipeffectiveness
of pitchers, failure of unpires to en-
force the balk rule and the scarcity
of fast men. Ty Cobb, the greatest
base runner in history says that the
stolen base has been discarded only
temporarily and will return soon.
Cobb declares that the game moves
in cycles and that following the cy-
oles of great pitching and great base
running, we now have the cycle of
great hitting.
with the sluggers of today, base
stealing is back number" said the
Detroit manager, whose stolen base
mark formerly was close to the 100
figure for season. But. the hitting
will pass. Then we will again return
to the cycles OF pitching and base
running. Five years from now my
base running marks may be eclipsed
by some youngster now in grammar
school,"
iris Speaker, manager of the world
champion Cleveland Indians, COM
bines ineffectiveness of pitching with
heavy hitting as the reason for the
lack of stolen bases.
THE base runner of today is the
man who can go from first to third
or from second home on a single, not
the man who can steal seventy five
bases III season." said Speaker.
The ineffectiveness of the modern
pitcher has brought about the heavy
hitting and, indirectly, the decrease
III stolen bases. We have no pitchers
today like Mathewson. Joss, Walsh,
Flank, Waddell, Brown and other
stars of ten years ago The average
pitcher of today throws the ball up
and hopes it won't hit him coming
back"
"A well known National League
manager, who did not wish his name
used, but who is looked on as stu
dent of baseball psychology, blamed
the ieniency of umpires in enforcing
the balk rules as one reason for few
er stolen bases.
Heavy hitting has been one fac
tor he said. but another factor is
that the pitchers today can hold a
man two steps from first base. The
runners can't get start; pitchers
make balk after balk and the UNI
pres refuse to cali them. The rule
that when pitcher makes any mo-
tlon which he habitualIy makes in
throwing to the plate and does not
pitch to the batter, that it is a balk.
Inc pitchers today repeatedly make
motions to pitch to the batter and
then snap the bali to first, so that
the runner can't get any kind of a
lead"
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1921-06-23

Eddie Collins, who once was one Of
the greatest of base runners. declares
that the catchcrs are not throwing !
any better than in the years past and
that the runners are not any slower.
Why should try to steal when i
have men behind me who usually adj
vance me by hitting?" asked Collins.
I'D be foolish to take the chance.
Another thing, the rules are more
strict now. We used to get a lot of
free stolen bases when there were
two out with the other team way
ahead and no one cared whether tile
runner was on first or third. We
don't get those any more. The only
time l try to steal is with two out
and one run need to tie or win. Then
/ want to be on second so I can score
on a single"
Harry Hooper, another great base
runner. takes the same view as COL
Inns, while Kid Gleason, manager of
the Chicago White Sox says that the
base runners of today aren't as smart
as those of past years. He said:
why have them steal. when the
picked off the sack after stealing?"
he said. The batters are hitting and
that's the best way to get the run
nerS home"
The records reveal some unusual
facts. about base stealing. in the ma
jor leagues. The number OF total
stolen bases has decreased rapidly.
more so in the American league than
in the National which now has re-
placed the junior circuit as the lead
ing base stealing organization.
In 1912 there were 1910 stolen
bases in the American league, 1850
in 1915, 900 in 1919 and only $50 last
year Thus far this season there
have been 1877 thefts, at the ratio of
only 59l for the season or little more
than one-fourth the number in 1912.
Where Clyde Milan led the league in
l9I2 with sc thefts and Cobb in 1915
with SO, the leader last year-Sam
Rlce-stole only 63, and George Sis
Ter with ~ was the only other man
TO pass the % mark. Eight wears
ago there We're nearly 80 mon with
more than 20 stolen bases each.
NC Ndtionai league runners, origi-
naliy stealing fewer bases than their
American league rivals. now are
ahead of the junior circuits. In 1912
ulere were 1876 stolen bases in the
National 1,214 in 1915, 1.165 in 1919
ana 969 last year. The ratio thus far
inns year would bring 654 for the
season if continued to the end-little
more than one-third as many as in
1912
