BASE RUNNING HURT
BY TERRIFIC SLAMS
Hit and Run Game Is Now Most
Popular Idea.
Ball Players Have Not Slowed Up 40
Records Would lndicate-0esire
to Emulate Deeds OF Babe
Ruth 10 Blamed,

What was the matter with base
running in 1921?
Has the science of getting the
jump on the pitcher, thereby enabling
the runner IL beat the throw Of the
catcher, become 4 lost art?
A glance ut the major league rec.
ords Of last season reveals the fact
that there was mighty little base rum
ming. Players who three or four
years back stole as many as thirty
bases didn't reach the double figures
last summer.
While the records make 1t seem that
the ball players are slowing up, such
is not the case. The falling of III
base running has simply been due to
the conditions that now exist and the
style Of game that is being used.
Last season the stolen bdse idea
was practically shelved. Because Of
the lively ball, 1t was figured the hit
and run was much better game to
play. One run didn't mean much In
1927. The steal and the sacrifice IL
the one-run idea of baseball. The hi
and run gets them In clusters II sue.
cessful. That Is the big reason for
the falling off in the base running
records.
The lively ball and the great desire
to emulate the deeds of Babe Ruth
who became the idol of the world be-
cause of his ability to hit home runs
are the other explanations Those who
scout the idea If the lively ball need
only go hack ten years in the records
That season-1911-Fnn Baker led
the American league in home runs
with nine. He was called 'HOms
Run" Baker. Last season Babe Ruth
led the American league with 50.
Ty Cobb led the American league
In stolen buses with IS in 1911. Seven
other players stole more than 40 base.
and six players more than 30. The
lively ball and the hit and run, no,
lack of speed on the part of the play

base running.
