is more likely to bunt the run
across than he is to hit it in in
any other way.
Like the hit-and-run play the
batter must protect the runner
by getting his bat against the
ball. if only to foul it. He
should stand flat-footed at the
plate. hold the bat loosely, do
all the work with his wrists and
forget about hitting safely Once
he hits the ball he must run
and take a chance on reaching
first but the main thing is to
get the run across, and any
hurry in bunting may spoil the
play. The runner must race in
with the pitch. If the batter
misses the ball, then the play
usually fizzles into an out. If
he pops the ball up the runner
should get back if possible. These
are the risks that must be taken.
The Washington times., 1931-05-05
Play Worth While

This makes the play worth
while only with one man out. The
time which most managers regard
as ideal is with one out and run
ners on first and third bases.
Then the bunt, if done properly,
scores a run and puts another
runner in scoring position. At the
same time it wipes out the dan
ger Of a double play being made
which might happen if the ball is
hit hard and along the ground.
But even if there is nobody on
first base there should be one
out.
You must always figure on
what the hitter is likely to do.
I like the squeeze play when a
pitcher, or some other weak
hitter is at the plate. If a good
hitter is up, or one that is likely
to drive the ball far, 1 don't
think much of the squeeze play.
I would prefer to take a chance
on him hitting the ball far
enough to chase the run across.
1t wouldn't be good baseball if
the good hitter bunted his way
out of the picture and possibly
deprived his team of a long hit.
OF course if the opposing pitcher
is particularly effective and no
body is hitting him very much
then there would be some excuse
for letting a good hitter bunt the
run across.
I think this a good rule to
follow when the question of a
squeeze play comes up: Use the
play when the man at the plate

Likes Hit-and-R Run

Here's some important advice.
Don't try the play with a batter
who is not fairly good at bunt-
ing the ball. Do not try it un-
less the hitter and runner have
exchanged signs so that both
know it is on. If you are the
batter do not throw your bat
near the plate after bunting the
ball as it may result in an in
jury to the man coming home
And even more important, Mr..
Batter, don't give any inkling
that you intend to bunt the ball
until after it has left the pitch
er's hands.
It is a great play, as I said be
fore-when it works. And the
ideal play under certain condl'
tiOnS.

The Squeeze Play

AS some of the boys may not
fully understand what the squeeze
play is, I had better tell them. 1t
is bunt as a runner races in from
third base, the idea being to place
the ball where it cannot be fielded
to the plate in time to get the
runner. 1t is giving up an out in
order to get much-needed run.
At times it is the best play to
be attempted. This is true in the
late innings of a tight game
where a single run is needed
either to tie the score or break a
tie score. But there are certain
conditions even then which should
determine if the squeeze is 70 be
used.
1t is easier to explain what I
mean by telling when it should
not be attempted. Never try the
squeeze play with nobody out or
with two out. These are the rea-
sons. With nobody out it is fool
ish to give up an out to get that
run, because three batterS will

how it is you swing the club
all by itself. Next, use half
swing. This will involve a
little pivoting. Come back with
the club, as in the quarter
swings. Then step up to a
longer iron, using just the half
swing. Next let your back
swing out to three-quarters,
still coming back with only the
club in the forward swing.
Gradually this will develop the
waiting and timing sense in
your muscles, and you can ex-
pect to get so you can depend
on yourself to wait back with
your body and swing forward
only the club. Then you will
stroke the ball away more ef-
fectiVely.

patiently. The boys are anxious
for lots of the good old ball
games in short ORDER
Although the remainder of the
season is still quite long the boys
are predicting the possible pen
nant contenders. This is a sure
sign that the teams are taking
interest in the hostile ranks and
their playing ability. Several
teams have shown considerable
promise with only two games
tucked under their belts. But
predictions at so soon a date are
rather vague and uncertain in
many respects.
OAuUS OAiOW AOIAASC
The Anacostia Club has shown
considerable punch in many
branches. The main source of
their attack seems to be centered
around Weaver, a southpaw, who
has proved to have lots of the
necessary stuff to buffalo the
Wonder Boys. The Wonder Bays
were in the Capital City League
last year. They were cham,
pions of this league. And when
an unheard of left-hander breaks
into the win column by defeating
champs it's time to sit up and
take notice. The official who
umpired this game is quoted as
having said that the Anacostia
club shows considerable promise
The Oriole A. C. also shows
strength but not in the same divi
sion as the AnacoStia team. The
ability lies in the batting power
of the Oriole outfit, while at The
same time they lack the neces
sary pitching to carry them
through the season with a clean
record.
Keuer, of the Cavaliers, has

chances for a pennant. 1t is

IS
EFFECTIVE
TWIRLER
BY GINO SINH

Today will be one day when the
high school kids, usually lacka-
daisical regarding interhigh base
ball, will set the turnStiles click
ing merrily at the Eastern Sta
dium. For the crucial interhigh
contest is. on the griddle, Central
and Eastern, defending cham
pionS, both of whom are stagger-
ing along under the burden of
two wins and no losses, engage in
a struggle which dooms the loser
to a secondary position. The
blasting commences at $50.
On paper the teams are evenly
matched in the hurting depart
ment. Emmett Buscher, who has
gone the route for Central in its
two previous victories, is almost
certain to be Ty Rauber'S choice.
Guyon will likely lead with
Bill NOOnan, SiX-fOOt twirler,
who recently set down Tech in
a pitchers duel. Dick Lana
han, SOuthpaw, who accounted
for the other Eastern win, will
be ready for replacement work.
Central turned back Tech 9-4,
with Buscher allowing the Man
ual Trainers hits in its first
game. Western was its next
victim, succumbing to a 12-4
beating, with Buscher a little
more generous, allowing the West
erners IL bingles.
Noonan loked great when he
twirled the Lincoln Parkers to
80 win over Tech, being nicked
for 7 scattered hits. Lanahan
finished out the game against
Business for Phillips, winning II
to II. 1t was a peculiar pitching
performance. He allowed only 6
hits, struck out 16, but permitted
II Stenogs to walk. Eastern's bats
are more powerful, but both have
good fielders.
Though Emmett Buscher, of
Central. is leading the high
school pitchers in wins and
losses, having cashed in both of
his appearances, Everett Rus
sell, of Tech, although credited
with a loss, did the finest work,
statistics reveal.
He lost to Bill Noonan, of
Eastern, in the best game yet
played, in which Russell allowed
6 hits, while Noonan gave up 7.
Noonan was the next most effec-
tive. Lanahan chalked up Is
