T team, according to my way of thinking, is in picking the spots for attack. The idea that any field manager can outline a plan of attack against an entire team is er- roneous. That would be impossible. Like the captajn of a foot ball team the base ball manager quickly disco ers the weak spots in the enem line-up. If he doesn't then her is not much of a manager. Being aware of these spots the trick is in waiting for the exact moment {o spring some- thing that will double-cross the par- ticular player and throw the oppo- sition off its balance. It is not at all necessary to cross the whole opposing team. That would be out of the ques- tion, anyway. Concentrated on Ruth. AJl_you need is to fool just one player—or maybe two.

Another thing: Having observed the Yanks very closely, ] had a pretty good idea of the runners who were headstrong and those who might be overcareful. We didn't miss it far. Of five players that I figured we might catch on that choke-oft throw from the outfield to Bancroft, . we caught throe—Meusel, Pipp = and Schang. All of these plays came at critical stages. The choke-off play, as I have explained before, {s a trjck of throw- ing the ball to the shortstop instead of to the plate when a single is made to the outfield with a runner on sec ond and there is no chance to catch him. Ordinarily the batter, seeing this throw start in from the outfield as if to g0 to the plate or third, will keep right on past first and make second. " Our play was designed to choke these off. Bancroft catches the ball and, instead of throwing to the plate, tosses it to second. You all saw the play, very likel Alm Proved Accurate. The point T make is that we ex- pected to catch Schang, Meusel or Pipp on that play sometime during the series, as well as two others. The result shows that our aim at a cer- tain spot had heen accurate. On an overcareful player we would not have made the pl: If in that last game, for instance.

Tt was voted to use the funds for a banquet to be held some time next month. President Stocking, who has been a constant and tireless worker for the league and to whom may be attributed « big share of its succes: is enthusiastic over the banquet idea, has committees at work perfecting plans for the feed.

Works and Is Miss Billie Nimer, 2 member of the Hilltoppers team in the Washington Ladies’ League, had never rolled a game until one week before the sea- Son opened. With Misses Gulli_and Levy on_ the Hilltoppers, Miss Niner was made one of a team as a sort of handicap by the officials, who de- sired to make the quints as well matched as possible. On the first of January Miss Niner had an average of 82, but since then she has advanc- ed her percentage four points.. Her | best work developed last Tuesday night when the leading Hilltoppers and_Billie's team. in second place, clashed. On that occasion Miss Niner rolled games of 108, 115 and 97 for a set of 320. She practically carried the Hilltoppers to victory. Mrs. Malcom, wife of that sterling bowler of the old Newspaper League, is leading the Mount Pleasant guint of the Washington Ladies’ League, in all-around work, having 11 strikes, 53 spares, and & high set of 317. Mrs. Ackman, and Misses Anderson and Rawlings are helping out valiantly. Billle Williams has been working ing 'standing out prominently, but has been confronted with bad breaks at critical periods. It seems as if any time . Billie's team gets going well some rival “goes crazy.” She says her girls have not given up hope of grab- bing first place. A eclose race is on for the pennant in, the Government Printing Office League, the stores quint having a one-game lead over the Monotype and Linotype teams. In back of this trio, just one game, looms the Library and Press fives. Joe Toomey holds all individual records, his percentage be- ing 113.1, his best game, 161, and his set of 412 being the season’s record for all leagues. In the Munitions League, European Claimg team leading by three games over the Ordnance quint, hav- ing won. twenty-one of its thirty contests. ‘Leasure of Ordnance tops the fleld in individual averages, with 101.22 for twenty-four .games. * At the wind-up.of the mateh last ‘week between the Colonials-and Rath- skellers, on the former's alleys, it came down to Charley Benson. anchor man, to spare to win.

I might say that other teams did the same thing to ue after Ra mond became a member of the Giants. Being forewarned, however, we were able to yank him out in time. After that I spent most of my time trying to keep him in condition, with what result I have told in a previous chap- ter. We could keep him in some sort ot shape for a month or two, but to do this all season was impossible. Used the Delayed Steal. In the 1905 season, by the way, we used a baserunning play succossfully that was aimed to douMfle;sross the other fcllows who thougk solved our system:. I refer to the uelayed steal, which Strang, ~specially, worked nearly every tire he tried it. Of late that play has gone into disusc. but 1 believe it could be revived now if it were not for the lively ball. With this lively ball in play there is really little need to work out baserunning plays. There is as much chance of some one slamming the ball to the daisies as there is of getting away with a risky baserunning play. That is why baserunning seems to be fall- ing into decay. The first time Sammy tried it for us he was playing far off fi-st base. 1t looked as if he would start for second any minute, and the pitcher kept shooting the ball over to first in an effort to catch him. Finally Sammy took a good long lead. Just as the pycher stepped forward to throw to first Strang suddenly lurched the other way and ran to second. As a result the ball was thrown to first, far behind him. Before it could be relayed to second he had siid under the baseman and was safe by several feet. We used that play often. At first the newspaper men thought that the runner had been caught napping. So did the fans. They laughed heart- ly at a runner getting away with a stolen base after having made a honehead plav. It was no bone at all but a very smart play Regrets Decline in Art. Then we doped out of that play when there were runners on first and third. Instead of making the usual attempt at a double steal the runner would play far enough off first to be caught. He would then start for second. Nine times out of ten the confused first baseman, after the throw from the pitcher, would throw to second. If he did so ing for home. could not be caught. You see, he would have three throws to beat instead of two. The ball would go from the pitcher to first, then to second and to home. I am sorry -that base Tunning has fallen off as a result of this lively ball. To me that was always one of the most fascinating features of bas ball. The study of it really gave me my start in Baitimore. The perfection | of base-running p is what made the Orioles f B While that 1905 team was a smart | base-running outfit, T have had faster ones.
