No matter how well you

IaternafioNi

- EMEMBER Charley keller's ninth-inning
triple in the World Series first game last
- October? Had you watched the ball
soar up, up and away out yonder into right
center field - you might have missed the real
play Veteran baseball men are still debating
in strong language who should have caught
that long fly.
In that play, Cincinnatis Harry Graft,
ordinarily fine fielder, didn't get quick
enough start for the ball He was step or two
late in going back and over from his post in
center field. Ival Goodman, in right field,
had long way to 60 to make catch. As
the ball started to come down, Goodman was
running dangerously close to the concrete
stands Had you focused on the ball instead
of the fielders, you wouldn't have seen Ival
take feeting look to see, first, where the
stands were and, second, where Craft was.
The ar-by fans were yelling so loudly the
two outfielders couldnt hear each other call
ing precious information That glance quick
as it was cost Goodman half-step, and also
cost him the catch. His glove barely touched
the ball, which fell for triple. 1t was not only

The first rule for sports announcers might
we'll hold true for the patrons in the park:
follow the ball. But this rule should be bro
ken, or modified, to suit the occasion. You'll
see, for example. much more that S important
if on a fly ball - like kellers triple - you'll
watch the outfieders. They will lead you to
the ball in time anyway - and you'll observe
the outfeld in action.
A ball game is very real combat. There
is a wealth of strategy based on percentage.
human ability, surprise and, certainly,
chance. Full enjoyment of this struggle means
more than merely watching the execution of
plays. 1t entails thinking ahead, trying to size
up the offensive and defensive moves.

Charlie Hod q Plan

NHARLIE's boys were facing the Pittsburgh
Pirates that afternoon, and the Pirates boast
ed a crew of left-handed hitters who could
really tee off against right pitcher.
Charlie had plan to trick the Pittsburgh
team into making frantic last-minute substi-
tutions. ST Johnson, Redleg right-hander,
made great show of warming up before the
game, and stepped into the pitchers box to
face the first Pirate batter. He walked him -
and retired Unexpectedly to the showers. In
came Tiny Tony Freitas. a left-hander, who
had been warming up in secret beneath the
stands.
Here was situation that promised the
fans not only ball game to watch, but also
subtle turn of strategy. Everyone settled back
Evening star., 1940-05-19
Don't miss the drama in the
strategy behind close plays

to observe the Dresser genius in all its glory.
And the Pirates proceeded to pound Tony
Freitas for five runs and victory.
One of the surest indications OF teams
strategy is the alignment of infield and out
field. The fielders place themselves where the
percentage favors the ball to be batted. For a
right handed pull hitter the defense is
shifted toward left field. The reverse is true
for a left-handed batter. who pulls most OF
his shots into right field. All through the game
the defense is trying to make the batters
hit where they are playing. Needless to say,
the batters are trying to hit the other way.
Keeping an eye on this bit of drama-withln-
a-drama is highly interesting in itself.

HOW TO WATCH A BALL GAME

simple matter, as Charlie Dresser discovered
one day in 1885 when he was managing the
Cincinnati Reds
Evening star., 1940-05-19
by Red Barber

Tip-offs come to light that hint what's
in the minds of the managers. Watching the
relief pitchers who are sent out to warm up
in the bull pens often provides clue to an
impending change Sometimes the first sign
we can get that the present pitcher is firing
comes from such activity. Nine times out of
ten, when a relief pitcher starts throwing in
the bull pen, it means something. 1t may
indicate that soon the pitcher will be taken
out for a pinch hitter. 1t may mean that with
certain batters coming up, the relief hurler is
figured the better man to pitch to them.
Or it may tell you the present pitcher is barely
getting by, and the first jam he gets in will
see him starting for the showers. I've seen a
bull-pen pitcher begin warming up just before
game time, and keep at it as the starting
pitcher went to work on the mound. This
meant the manager was uncertain of his
starter, either due to the mans in-and-Out
ability, or because he was hurt or sick.
The starter was getting chance, but if he
didn't show up WELL he was to come out at
once.
Other tip-offs can be picked up by watching
the players benches. On hot afternoons you
can judge the effect the heat is having on
pitcher by seeing how much nursing he
receives on the bench when his team is at
bat. and thus you can recognize more accu-
rately the first signs of slipping. A coach,
or even the manager, may lean out of the
dugout and motion a fielder to move over,
or come in, or 60 back for a certain batter.
Sometimes a utility player dashes off the
bench in race to the bull pen. When this
happens, watch the men in the bull pen after
the message is delivered. Something is in the
wind.
Managers, taking into consideration the
percentages. like to have their left-handed
pitchers working against left-handed bat
tiers. and they want their left-handed hitters
Evening star., 1940-05-19
The Bvnt Problem

Nor all teams handle the same play in the
same way Take the problem of the bunt with
runners on first and second and nobody OUT
Most managers instruct their pitchers to try
to get two strikes on the batter without ef1x

an infield fly But not William Terry of the
Giants He wants his pitcher to get the ball
over, usually high. with something on 1t,
but 50 that the batter can bunt 1t. Bill has
his men ready to field the bunt, and wants his
pitcher to get over against the thlrd-base line,
his third sacker to fall back, and his first
baseman to cover the right side Of short
infed If you're not careful, Bills pitcher
picks up your bunt. whips it to third for

percentage is against bunting high hard

hard, or else is popped up. In this situation.
where most clubs try to keep you from bunt-

NEW YORK K, May 17.-R-
Though he fell down a flight OF
