Mits Dozier smiled ns she recalled
the exception. A contractor had used
some Inferior laths against her express

INSIDE PLAYS EXPLAINED
By Hal Chase
By HAL CHASE.
The winning ability of a baseball
club is no better than Its practical
knowledge of "Inside”• play..
inside play moans any number of
things. It applies equally to defense
and offense.. It embraces the cutting
off of opposing runs and the manufac
ture of runs for your own side. Inside
play implies unselfish work, for the
good of the team, not the Individual.
It means harmony—pulling, together In
unison.
Inside baseball can not be confined to
any special markod varieties. It must
assert Itself In every play that happens
In a game. It means simply accom
plishing best results with smallest haz
ard. But from the present develop
ment of the national pastime two things
stand out most prominently as exam
ples of the Idea. These are the sacri
fice hit and the hit-and-run.
The hit-and-run Is the father of tile
icrlflce. It was the old Baltimore club
that developed the latter to Its highest
standard. McOraw. Keeler. Jennings
and those famous Orioles were skilled
hunters, and for a while they w'orked
the play almost exclusively. Other
clubs naturally caught on. The hit-
and-run w'rs forgotten for the time.
The sacrifice was overworked. It was
worked so persistently that much of Its
usefulness was lost.
That’s why some teams of the major
leagues today have almost excluded It.
They prefer the hit-and-run. But In so
doing they are putting this play where
the sacrifice was a couple of seasons
ago. They are overworking It. The
hit-and-run comes once more to the
fore. Hlit It should not he killed by
being mHde an unwavering stock In
trade.
To my mind the hit-and-run dove
tails Into the sacrifice. The successful
team Is generally the one that can so
cover Its designs as to keep the opposi
tion In doubt ns to which of the two
plays Is contemplated In a crisis. A
team that pulls nothing but the sacri
fice can not get away with it for long.
A team might use the hit-and-run ex
clusively with good results, but only
when every man on the club Is a fin
ished batsman and a fine place hitter.
The best teams mix these two.
The sacrifice hit Is, perhaps, over
worked by most managers. This Is the
case at least with the leaders who per
sist In running their teams under on
unchanging system. There are man
agers who do not give their players the
credit of reasoning ability. They say:
"Ho hit It out.” or ’’sacrince.” or "wait
him out.” and never forgive disobedi
ence to such an order.
Now. there Is no manager who can
think for the man at hat. Conditions
may change In a twinkling. If a pitch
er Is looking for a sacrifice he can
naturally make the task a mighty diffi
cult operation for the average batter.
If he Is looking for a sacrifice, then
that Is the Ideal opportunity to ef
fectively work the lilt ami-run. That
Is why the bntsman should be placed
on his own responsibility. That Is why.
with tne aid of live base runners, he
may always take a chance with the un
expected.
The sacrifice hit Is naturally an
emergency play. As a rule. It should be
worked In Its routine character only In
the pinch. It Id almost Indispensable In
a tight squeeze, when a run means vic
tory. Naturally, It Is least costly when
one nr more runners are on bases with
none out. The sacrifice concedes one of
the three necessary put-outs to the
enemy. Its purpose Is to advance the
base runner to u position where a single
or long fly will result In a score.
The hit-and-run. on the other hand.
Is not confined to such emergencies.
Certainly it should he associated with
every attempted steal, unless the run
ner gets such a start that there is no
possible chance of his being headed by
the catcher’s throw. The hit-and-run
can not be worked by the batsman
alone. He must have the co-operation
of the runner. The Idea is that the
runner pull one of the Infleldcrs from
his natural territory to cover a base
for a throw. The hitter then drives
the ball thru the Improvised gap.
the fielder does not cover, the batter
has simply to let* the ball go unless he
Is In a hole. The runner In that case
gets the extra cushion unmolested.
The batsman should generally de
vise the nature of each emergency
play. He knows best whether he
should attempt a bunt or hit it out.
A curve hall is by far the easiest to
place properly by bunting. A batsman
can follow ft right to tlie hat. A spit-
ball Is perhaps the hardest to bunt ac
curately. A high, straight, fast hall
Is also very difficult. A right-handed
batsman, in hunting, naturally pushes
a wide ball to the first base line or
pulls a close ball In the opposite direc
tion.
With a. runner on first on a sacri
fice play the batsman should* hunt
toward first base If the first baseman
Is right-handed. If the first baseman
Is left-handed and fast, chances should
be taken on the third base side. The
throw to second Is more difficult for a
third baseman under such conditions
than It would be for a left-handed first
sacker. #
To advance a man from second to
third the batsmgn should always lay
the ball down the third base line. It
pulls 4hat fielder off the hag and forces
him to play for the batter. If the
shortstop covers third, or If the pitch
er fields the ball, there Is a chance to
pinch the runner at the third cushion,
especially If the pitcher Is a south
paw. But. under ordinary circum
stances, especially If the runner gets
away as he should, ho Is absolutely
safe. The time lost by the fielders*In
turning almost completely around to
throw to third makes it almost Impos
sible to play for any but the first base.
When I smell a sacrifice play, I al
ways signal the pitcher to take the
bunt If to the 'right of him. I go In
for anything to the left or toward my
ride. The second baseman covers first
and the shortstop second. This leaves
our defense In pretty good shape
should the hatter cross us and attempt
to hit It out.
There are certain players for whom
I rarely ever move away In. These are
such dangerous left-hand hitters as Ty
Cobb, Sam Crawford and Ti ls Speaker.
They naturally bunt toward third base,
and when they pull the ball to the right
It usually travels fast enough to take
off a fellow’* leg If he Is rushing mad
ly 1n.
The world’s champion Chicago team
of 190ft was one of the greatest living
examples of perfect Inside work. With
good battery work, fine fielding and
head work, the weakest hitting team of
the league won a pennant. And not
only that, hut Fielder Jones took the
world’s championship to boot. He beat
the Cubs, one of the fastest, brainiest
find most aggressive teams ever or
ganised. simply on netve and Inside
baseball. Thut year the Cubs were
undoubtedly at their very best.
To Illustrate the fact that these two
plays must he worked in unison. last
year’s Cardinals will serve the purpose.
I am told that Brasnahan absolutely
discarded the sacrifice hit. He worked
the hit-and-run altogether In Its place.
For several weeks he met with great
success. But the other clubs were not
asleep. They saw that the sacrifice
play had been discarded and watched
only for the hit-and-run. They spiked
the play and with It St. Louis’ spurt.
HOT SESSION
NEARING END
New York, Feb. 19.—The National
league directors hope to make this
"Get-Away, day” by winding up all «the
fag ends of the business before the
present session. Today’s meeting v was
slated to put the finishing touches on
the constitutional changes. *
Then it will be clear sailing for fif
teen days, the time given the Philadel
phia club by the directors td answer
Murray’s claim for two* years' salft*y
at $7,500 and $1,500 back salary on the
contract which he claims was broken
when he was discharged on the ascend
ancy of Horace Kogel to \he presidency.
There Is no great display of affection
among the directors as a result of the
154-game schedule adoption. Accord
ing to the experts. Ban Johnson, presi
dent of the American league, has been
thrust into the position of greatest fig
ure In the baseball world. The defeat
of the 168-game schedule Is regarded
by experts as a triumph for the head
of the opposition league, following close
on his election by the Americans to the
presidency for twenty years at a* big
salary Increase: With the American
league decided on a 154-game schedule,
It would have t cost the’ Americans
money had the - opposition adopted -a
longer program, which would have In
terfered with the post-season cham
pionship scries. t
In the National league the greatest
figure today Is Barney Dreyfuss. who
generaled the compromise and brought
to an end the five days' bitter fight
which had promised to develop Into a
perpetual deadlock.
With the schedule out of the way. the
storms which have raged In the Na
tional league for the last thrfe months
are in tfce main past. There remains a
potential row of some severity, how

The adoption of a compromise, the

to make peace, came as a relief.

MOGULS WILL
MEET MONDAY
Monday afternoon at the Piedmont
hotel the moguls of the Southern Base
ball association will gather for the
spring schedule meeting of the league.
Two or three delegates will be present
from each club.
The main business before the meet
Ing will be the adoption of the sched
ule. The proposed schedule has proved
satisfactory in the main to the various
moguls and should go thru without a
serious hitch. The only kick against It
has been heard from New Orleans.
The Nashville club will probably In
troduce a motion to require each club
of the league to erect dressing rooms
for the visiting teams. This will doubt
less pass. The Memphis club Is threat
ening to put thru a deal to have the
number of players allowed each team
for the first 30 days of the season In
creased.
It is reported from New Orleans thut
Charley Frank will ask that double-
headers be limited to seven Innings
each in duration.
