upon the situation. II there Is a run

Biggest Managers Differ.
There is difference of opinion
among big league managers as to
whether a club should sacrifice when
one run behind. Some will play for
n tie-others will not. John Nc
Draw, for instance, would never
think of deliberately playing to tie
the score. His theory is that team
should always play to win and that
WORKING for tie by sacrificing is a

he Is willing to stake 1t all on win
ming out by heavy hitting, or losing.
In other words. he is willing to
shoot 1t all on one chance. Other
managers are more cautious. often
they gain by It. Personally 1 be-
lieve In taking a shot to win and
not working for tie.
Some managers are cautious and
patient enough to work for several
innings, getting one run at time
until they have eyened up the game.
My advice to college players would
be to take a charce-sock the ball
and run the bases. The more hard
chances you put up to the opposi-
tion the moro chances they will have
to make errors.
I would like to leave the other
questions with the young ball play
ers. Let them think them over and
decide for themselves what they think
is best. In doing 50 they will de-
velop a lot Of team work. It might
be a good idea for the fans also to
put some OF these in their hats for
reference next season.
