PINCH-PITCHER PART
OF DIAMOND STRATEGY

In a field of sport where all new
strategy was supposed to have been
exhausted years ago, baseball this year
has sprung new one.
Since the time when there were
more than nine men available on a
team, the pinch-hitter has become an
institution of smart baseball, but it re-
mains for 1928 to develop the pinch
pitcher.
LIE Foil, the wise manager of the
st. Louis Browns, was the first one
this season to resort to this new
strategy.
At critical moment in the recent
crucial series between the Browns and
the Yanks, Foil derricked the sensa-
tional young "Shucks" Pruett, after he
had famed Babe Ruth for the third
time.
The fans couldn't understand the
reason for the move when Van Glider,
a big right handler was sent in to pitch
to Meusel
Il wanted right hand pitcher to
pitch to right hand batter. That's
simple" Foil said when asked to ex-
plain the strategy. 1t worked too.
Kid Gleason then came along with
example No. 2 and it started the most
interesting battle of managerial wits
that has been seen on the Polo
grounds.
1t was the last half of the ninth in
ming with the White Sox leading the
Yanks to 4.
Ruth walked to start the inning
Meusel and Schang went out making
it two down. Ward and Scott singled
filing the bases. mo Hit Robertson

from the bull pen. Higgins agar
countered by pulling back Miller ant
sending in Lefty O'Doul, a left hand
batter. O'Doul smacked out a single

double in the ninth inning after Fon-
SEGA and Pinelli had singled, scoring
two runners ahead OF him.
