He knows the limitations of the
game and how far he can go in
making a play or in attempting
something new. Playing without a
thorough knowledge of the rules is
like playing without lines to mark
the boundaries or limiting areas ;
you do not know when you have
crossed the boundaries.
The rules are constantly changing.
and he may have an old rule in mind
and may thus miss an opportunity
or make a foul This is constantly
seen in community games where an
old player guides himself by an old
rule that was used when he for
merly played.
1t eliminates one of the most dis
agreeable features of a game-dis-
putting the decisions of the referee,
which befittles both official and
player.
A knowledge of the rules gives a
player confidence in his basket bali
ability. He feels himself an author
ity on the game and becomes a stu
dent of the finer points of play.
Knowing the rules helps player to
become a good official after he has
quit active playing, and good Off
cial helps the game.

CHAPTER lo.
Do You Know a Bonehead
When You See One?
BY HANS WAGNER.

w HolNANs
THE most misused word in
all base ball, to my way of
thinking, is bonehead. Any time
hear some spectator yell,
Bone" or "Boneheadw at a
player | always turn to look.
Eight times out of ten the man
who used the expression is the
bone himself. 1t is quite COM
mon among fans to cali any
play they do not understand a
bone. 1t sort of sounds smart
to them, | reckon.
People are queer things, at
that. Why is it, I've often asked
myself. that some spectators take
more JOY out of seeing some
body pull what they call bone
than they do at seeing him make
a wonderful play?
OF course. there have been
some very funny bone plays i'll
base ball. plays that are just as
funny TO the players as to the
fans. At other times, though,
players make really wonderful
play only to have it labeled a
bone simply because the fans do
not understand base ball we'll
enough to get the point.
To cite case:
Heinie Wagner. at one time a
star with the Boston Red Sox.
was terribly berated one day for
pulling 4 bone, when as a matter
Of fact he had pulled one of the
smartest plays | ever heard of.
Heinie was on second with one
out when he got the signal for
the hit and run play. With the
swing of the pitchers arm he
started for third. The batter hit
the ball all right, but Heinie
could see it was a soft liner go
ing straight into the shortstop's
hands. If it was caught Heinie
would be doubled up at second.
So Heinie stood still and let the
bali hit him.
"Oh, you bone-you bonehead!"
yelled the fans.
The next day the newspapers
even accused him OF pulling a
bone.
As a matter Of fact his smart
thinking prevented double play.
Wagner was called out for being
hit by a batted ball. of course.
But that had prevented a double
play and the batter was credited
with hit. Under the rules, you
know, if a base runner is hit by
a batted ball he is out and the
batter gets hit.
He Had 1t All Doped Out.
Nobody ever stopped to think
that Heinie Wagner had figured
out that situation in a fash and
had solved it. Instead they called
him a bone.
Fred Merkle will go through
life being called bonehead sim
ply because of his failure to touch
second in that famous game with
the Cubs. In 1913 in the last
game of the world series he again
was called a bone for attempting
a play that really was a clever
piece OF thinking that didn't go
through. He was merely the vic
tim Of hard luck. Fred Merkle
is one Of the smartest men play
ing base ball

that bonehead play or would
you give the manager credit for
taking chances? I'll say he took
'em, all right.
: I heard Bill Hinchman called
bonehead in a game at Pitts
burgh one day for really carry
ing out his end of a smart play.
We were playing against the
Phillies, and Alexander was pitch
ing. Hinchman laid on the ball
for three bases, and, with one
out, there appeared to be a good
chance for a score. Hinchman
got the sign for the squeeze play.
To work a squeeze play prop
erly the man OH third starts for
the plate with the pitchers
swing. Alexander had caught the
sign, or had outgucssed us, and
deliberately pitched out to Kille-
fer. the catcher.
When Killefer turned to throw
Hinchman, of course, was fifteen
feet off third base. He had start
ed home. AS a result he was
Caught Hdt-IOOtcQ.
ooh, you bonew screamed the
fans.
just then Killefer turned loose
the ball, and it was a wild peg
far over the third baseman's head.
Hinchman came on home and
scored.
"Oh, that lucky break!' cried
the fans.
The next day the newspapers
even had Jun with Hinchman for
pulling bone and being lucky
enough to score on it, All he had
done was to go through with the
squeeze just as he had started.
Naturally. he was off the bag. He
had to be. The fans and experts
never stopped to figure it out
that the squeeze play was on and
that Hinchman was playing it
properly.
Can You Beat This One?
Talking about real bone plays,
though, | saw a base runner on
one of the National League clubs
try to steal base in the ninth
inning when there were two out
and the team was eight runs be-
hind. Can you beat that one?
We all asked him what he would
have done with the base if he had
stolen it. One run didn't amount
to anything. 1t would take nine
to win. Why put the side out?
Don't know he admitted, but
that base looked so big down
there | just thought I'd steal IT,"
/ saw another base runner try
to steal home when the bases
were full and there were two out
and there were two strikes and
three balls on the batter. That |
would regard as the champion
bone.
There have been several in
stances where a runner tried to
steal third base with the bases
full. A fellow once did that when
Arlie Latham was standing on
third. He looked down and saw
the other base runner sliding into
his legs.
Hey, get tell out of here" he
said, kicking at the boneheaded
runner. "Where'd you come
from?"
This is not exactly bone, but
it's odd: saw Pete Browning
drop to his knees in trying TO
dodge wide pitch one day, when
his bat, coming around the wrong
way, hit the ball down the left
field foul line for a two-basc hit.
