that the l0.000.000 people of the met
ropoltan district would support two

Giants needed the support to gather

the Yankees building a new stadium

filed one to President Johnson. ac-
Cusing the Giant ownership of being
"mercenary'' and of jeopardizing the
Sunday game in New York city. The
ban against playing here on the
Sabbath has been lifted only in re-
cent years.
Do Not Fear Competition.
Col. Huston asserted the Yankees
had greatly outdrawn the Giants in
New York and that they did not fear
the competition.
"Stoneham's reasons" Huston said
in his telegram, were entirely mer-
cenary. The only business reason
possible for. the Giants to advance
after having peremptorily ordered us
off the Polo Grounds was to secure
these extra Sundays, which would
compensate them for the loss of the
rent the Yankees were paying them.
If we permit them to secure this
money. we acknowledge that our

The New Play That Ruined the
Yanks---Outwitting Joe Bush---$25
for Home Run That Won the
Game. l.

ATE in the season we dis
covered a new way-at least
- a surprising way-of breaking
up an advance around the bases on
a safe hit. None but smart, an &C.
curate player could work this play,
but we had man almost perfectly
equipped to carry it out-Dave Ban
croft. We used the play but little,
so that it could be surprise IN the
big series. And it was a surprise.
When there is a runner on first
or second and the succeeding batter
follows with a clean hit the chances
are that the runner will score from
second, the man on first will go to
third and the batter to second. Just
the same the outhelder, nine times
out of ten, makes an attempt to get
the man at the plats.
When it is seen that the throw will
not get the runner at the plate the
pitcher generally intercepts the throw
and tries to make a play at one of the
bases. That play has been made so
repeatedly that IL has como to be
sort of matter OF form.
Now, If the hit scores man from
second. with the tying run, the team
that allows the batter to take second
on the throw to the plate is in grave
danger. Another hit may win the
game.
throw the ball directly to Bancroft
in his regular position; he would turn
around and whip the ball to second.
If it got the runner coming down
from first-the man who had hit the
ball-the rally was broken up. And,
even to our surprise, this play worked
every time we tried 1t. On three occa-
sions the Yank batter ran headlong
into the trap.
Play Saved the Game.
In the last game, IL you will re-
member, Bob Meusel hit a beautiful
single into the outfield, scoring a
runner. The throw looked as If 1t
was headed for the plate, but instead
it went directly into Bancroft's hands
for second. We had made no useless
attempt at the plate to- prevent the
first score, but we had to stop a Sec
ond one. That play saved the game
for US.
In the last inning of the game we
pulled exactly the same play on so
experienced veteran as Wally
Schang. His wallop would have won
the game but for Bancroft taking the
ball in the Same way and catching
him at second.
After seeing Meusel caught that
way we really did not expect that
SchanE would fall for the same trick.
But he did. And by being thus caught
Meusel and Schang cost the YankS
that game.
Upset Base Ball Habit.
In other words, we toek advantage
of the chance to upset what had be-
come a habit in base ball. Many games
are won during the season by cross
ing ball players who think in the
same groove all the time. The idea
