MAY 9. 1912 Quick Thinkers Make Baseball as Lively a Game •r»+ t**+ +•+ As Draw Poker; Bluffs and Stalls Cut Big Figure By Percy H. Whiting. AM ERIC AS two national games. baseball and draw poker, are a lot alike in a lot of ways, as might be expected. There is much bluffing and much saying one thirig and meaning an other in both of them. A smart player is likely to pull anything at any time, and much of this fine stuff is wasted on the fans. A remark may change the whole trend of the game. Jack Barry pulled such a re mark for the Athletics last year. It was the ninth inning of an im portant game, and the score was 2 to 1 tn favor of the Mackmen. A fast runner reached first, and as the case was desperate, he lit out for second. The throw to Barry was wretched, and as the runner slid into second the ball sped over Barry’s head. If the runner found out that the ball was rolling to the outfield, which he had not. because of his slide, he could scramble to his feet and make third. So Bar ry turned calmly to the umpire and said, unconcernedly. “I’d 'av' had him, Bill, if I'd held the ball.” The runner judged from this off hand utterance that the ball was right at Barry's feet. Before the coachers could wake him up to the real situation, the ball had been re gained by the center fielder. The next batter hit a long fly. on which the runner could have scored if he had reached third. The next one filed out. and th® game was over. Barry, by saying one thing and meaning another, had stalled off a tie. • • • JIM 1 FOX tried a piece of silent strategy one day in the red hottest game that Ponce DeLeon ball park ever saw. It was the year Memphis and Atlanta battled so brilliantly for a pennant With the Crackers one game to the good, the Turtle team arrived in Atlanta. The locals won the first game. The second day it rained. Memphis wanted a doubleheader the third day, but Bill Smith ruled against it, despite a lot of talk about pro tests and such. George Suggs and Tom Hughes were the opposing pitchers, and nothing happened un til the eighth. Then Jim Fox man aged to get to second. The next man up hit a stinger to Charley Babb, which the Memphis manager juggled. Under orders from the. coacher at third. Fox rounded that bag and started for home. Babb recovered the ball, snapped it home, and Fox was trapped. He turned toward third, but Babb was waiting for him. Owing to his uncanny length, Jim was no agile runner. But h.e was a quick thinker. He figured that if he could interfere with the ball the umpire. Dan Pfenninger. wouldn't dare to face that crowd of ten thousand yell ing Atlantans and call him out for interference. So Jim stuck his arm In front of the ball as it was thrown to Babb and deflected it so greatly that he was able to score unmolested. Only a few of the ten thousand fans knew what had happened. Dan Pfenninger. after summing up his whole career, admitted that ft was the toughest decision he ever made. He called Fox out. and the quick thinking was wasted. The game went into an extra inning tie, and you know the rest. But Fox had been there with the snappy brain work. • • • a NOTHER historic case is that -* of Newt Fisher and Pitcher Nickens. Nickens was an awful gump, but invincible when he was going right. He was working against Nashville and had the then Fishermen on his hip. Fisher was worried, but not quite at his wit’s end. He waited until an inning when there were two errors be hind Nickens. Then, when the pitcher left the field, Fisher moved alongside and began to commiser ate with him. “It's mighty tough, old man." he began, "to have a lot of dubs throw ing the game away behind you. It looks to me as though they were doing it on purpose. Its a shame to see a fine young pitcher like you working his head off to let a lot of dubs throw the game. If I w'ere you. I'd see ’em dead before I'd work myself to death for 'em." "Burned if you ain't right," quoth Nickens, intelligently. And in the next inning he went back in the box. grooved every ball, and Fisher’s team won by about sixteen runs. A few words that sounded one way and listened another turned the trick. • * • KID ELBERF'ELD was ever a qui<Jk thinker and a great strat egist. Once last year, while he was with Washington, the Senator pitcher was hurt making the third out in an early inning The Wash ington club was in the lead. It was a cinch if there'w as time to get a pitcher ready. ilcAleer sent' out a man to warm up, but his chances looked bad. for the firsh Wash ington batter hit the first ball and was out. while the second fouled out on the third ball pitched. El berfeld was at bat next. It was up to him to prolong the game. "For heaven's sake, take as much time as you can." said McAleer. Elberfeld nodded and walked to the plate. He fouled the first ball pitched, then he waited out two balls, then he fouled off another, then he waited for another ball. Then, by actual count, he fouled off fifteen balls. Naturally this killed time, and before they finally managed to get him out. the relief pitcher had warmed up and was able to hold the opposition safe and cinch the game. Elberfeld's quick thinking and accurate stick work had saved the day. • • • MANY a quick thinker has cross ed the opposition by a decep tion as to the number of men who were out.

The trouble re sulted from a decision in the seventh inning of yesterday's game, when the umpire called a Richmond player safe nt first base. Manager Gaston, who had been kicking a good deal through the game, protested violently and was ordered off the field. Jobson took up the affair after the game was ended. The offending player was indefinitely suspended by the Danville club last night and Gaston will probably be heavily fined. Jobson was also arrest ed last night and gave bond for his ap pearance in the police court.
