There had been a letter or two. a telephone message, an ultimatum from the architect—and those laths came off again and new ones went In their place. The recollection seemed to amuse her. "Sometimes they think a woman doesn’t know.” resumed the architect.

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 ever, In the claims of ex-Manager Mur ray against the Philadelphia club. The adoption of a compromise, the 154-game schedule; after hard efforts to make peace, came as a relief. ment whereby Charles Murphy, of C cago, and Stanley Robison, of St. Louis, were appeased In the adopted program was as clever a bit of schedule Juggling as had ever been done. | =jEH 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. COMPANY IS ORGANIZED TO BUILD BIG HOTEL Macon. Os..
