Do You Know a Bonehead When You See One? BY HANS WAGNER. HE most misused word in all base ball, to my way of thinking, is bonehead. Any time I hear some spectator yell, “Bone!” or “Bonehead!"” at a player T always turn to look. Eight times out of ten the man who used the expression is the bone himseli. It is quite com- mon among fans to call any play they do not understand a bone. It sort of sounds smart to them, I reckon. People are queer things, at that. Why is it, I've often asked myself, that some spectators take more joy out of sceing some- body pull what they call a bone than they do at seeing him make a wonderful play? « Of course, therc have been some very funny bone plays in base ball, plays that are just as funny to the players as to the fans. At other times, though, players maks a really wonderful play ouly to have it labeled a bone simply because the fans do not understand base ball well enough to get the point To cite a casc: Heinie Wagner, at one time a star with the Boston Red Sox. was_terribiy berated one day for pulling a bone, when as a matter of fact he had pulled one of the smartest plays 1 ever heard of Heinie was on second with one out when he got the signal for the hit and run play. With the swing of the pitcher’s arm he started for third. The batter hit the ball all right, but Heinie could see it was a soft liner go- ing straight into the shortstop’s hands. If it was caught Heinie would be doubled up at second. So Heinie stood still and let the ball_hit him. “Oh, you bone—you bonehead!” yeiled the fans. The next day the newspapers even accused him of pulling a bone. As a matter of fact his smart thinking prevented a double play. ‘Wagner was called out for being hit hi—; a batted ball, of course. But that had prevented a double play and the batter was credited with a hit. Under the rules, you know, if a base runner is hit by a batted ball he is out and the batter gets a hit. He Had It ARl Doped Out. Nobody ever stopped to think that Heinie Wagner had figured out that situation in a flash and had solved it. Instead they called him a bone. Fred Merkle will go through iife being called a bonehead sim- ply because of his failure to touch second in that famous game with the Cubs. In 1913 in the last game of the world series he again was called a bone for attempting a play that really was a clever piece of thinking that didn't go through. He was merely the vic- tim of hard luck. Fred Merkle is one of the smartest men pla ing base ball. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1923 SPOR TS. Convention : Game atPasadena to Be Gala Affair R Hans and at the right who once was credited by the fans with In that particular game Merkle was badly crippled, but managed to go through on one good leg. Murphy was on third and Baker at the bat in the last inning. Baker hit a hot grounder to Merkle, who felded the ball clean- i He then made a bluff throw to stop Murphy and did so. It was his purpose then to touch Baker as he passed and finally make a real throw for Murphy, getting both men. It was a quickly thought out play. But it went wrong. Aiter bluffing Murphy back to the bag Merkle turned to touch Baker, who was coming on top of him. On account of Merkl crippled condition Baker dodged him and got to the bag safely. In the mix-up Murphy made a new start and got home. Everybody called Merkle bonchead, and the newspaper writers did a lot of kidding about it. Ball players, though, appre- ciated that Merkle had attempted to make a wonderfully smart play—one that would have gone through nine times out of ten. 1 don't want to get in any ar- gument with my newspaper- writing friends, but they do many a ball player wrong when they roast him about something they don't understand. Those boys a THREE QUINTS STAND OUT IN BUSY DAY ON COURTSL ASKET BALL teams flocked the courts last night. Many good games were played, but three teams in particular, representing the unlimited, junior and midget classes, stood out. ‘Washington Yankees trounced the City Club tossers, 33 to 18; Kanawha Juniors took both ends of a doubl header, defeating the Hudson team, 8 to 13, and the Bolwell combination, 48 to 18; the Columbia Midgets showed the way to the Sacred Heart performers, 30 to 3, and the Takoma tossers, 54 to 0. Yankees' play was ragged at times, although City Club proved an easy victim. Monty Evans, former University of California etar, #ave a fine exhibition of shooting when he registered five baskets for the Yankees. Johnny Goets also played well, his guarding frequently halting City Club's attack. Krumm and did exceptionally well for City Club. The former tossed five baskets to lead his team. Clever teamwork featured Colum- bia Midgets' play against Sacred Heart _and Takoma teams. J. Car- roll, Weber, Atchinson, FEliis Johnson were consistently limelight. Kanawha Juniors scored 130 points to down the Hudson and Bolwell toss ers. H. Newman, Powman and Chat- len starred for the winners. This trio excelled in passing and shooting. ‘Washington Kanawhn baxketers have booked a rugged foe in the Yosemite team tonight in the Ingram gymnasium.

Alumni quint today, at 3 o'clock, on the “Y" court. The Alumni five already has shown the way to Tech and Eastern. Eastern received a jolt when it fell before the Alumni team yesterday, 28 to 26. The score was deadlocked, 26 all, until the last ten seconds of play, when Harrison Dey caged a basket from mideou: Ralph Bennie of Eastern led the teams in scoring, with 6 court goals. House garnered 5 baskets for the Alumni. Gonsagan High's quint met defeat at the hands of an old rival, St. Joseph Preps of Philadelphia, here yesterday, 28 to 18. A rugged defense and a fast-running attack was dis- played by the -visitors. Sulllvan played well for Gonzaga. It was only Gonzaga's second game of the season and a lack of teamwork was evident. @. W. RIFLEMEN WIN. George_ Washirgton University riflemen have added to their laurels with a 915-t0-903 victory over a team of the National Capital Rifle Club. W. R.

I had a chance one day in Pittsburgh to see a ball game played between the scribes out at Schenley Park. The manager of one of the teams was crazy to win and was trying to be a strict gencral like he thought McGraw or Fred Clarke might be. Did He Take Chances? His side had the bases full, and ihis manager got so ecager that he reached over to the runner on first and hissed in his ear: Steal second. Go on, steal it!” I can't,” said the other news- paper player. “There is a man already on second.” Never you mind. T am the manager. You do what I say. Go on, steal that bag.” The runner hesitated again. “Run or I'll knock your block off and shove you off that bag.” With that this smart manager threw a handful of dirt at his runner and shoved him off the bag. He started all right. Well, you should have heard the uproar. But when the com- motion was over and the ball had been thrown wildly four or five times the three runners had scored.

Playing without a thorough knowledge of the rules is like playing without lines to mark the boundaries or limiting area: you do not know when you have crosséd the boundaries. The rules are constantly changing. and he may have an old rule in mind and may thus miss an opportunity or make a foul. This is constantly seen in community games where an old player guides himself by an old rule that was used when he for- merly played. It eliminates onc of the most dis- agreeable features of a game—dis- puting the decisions of the referee, which belittles both official and player. A knowledge of the rules gives a player confidence in his basket ball ability. He feels himself an author- ity on the game and becomes a stu- dent of the finer points of play. Knowing the rules helps a player to become a good official after he has quit active playing, and a good offi- cial helps the ganre, (Copyright, 1023.) —_— CHICAGO, December 29.—Pla; failing to sign their contracts for 1924 will not be taken to the training camps |five-minute periods of the Chicago clubs of the tional and American. lcagues: ) | f!

I heard Bill Hinchman called a bonehead in a game at Pitts- burgh one day for really carry ing out his end of a smart play. We were playing against the Phillies, and Alexander was pitch- ing. Hinchman laid on the ball for three bases, and, with one out, there appeared to be a good chance for a score. Hinchman got the sign for the squeeze play. To work a squeeze play prop- erly the man on third starts for the plate with the pitcher's swing. Alexander had caught the sign, or had outguessed us, and deliberately pitched out to Kille- fer, the catcher. When Killefer turned to throw Hinchman, of course, was fifteen feet off third base. He had start- ed home. As a result he was ca ght flat-footed. ~“Oh, you bone fans. Just then Killefer turned loose the ball, and it was a wild peg far over the third baseman’s head. Hinchman came on home and scored. “Oh, that lucky break!” cried the fans. The next day the newspapers even had iun with Hinchman for pulling a bone and being lucky enough to score on it. All he had done was to go through with the squeeze just as he had started. Naturally, he was off the bag. He had to be. The fans and experts never stopped to figure it out that the squeeze play was on and that Hinchman was playing it properly. Can You Beat This One? Talking about real bone plays, though, I saw a base runner on one of the National Leaguc clubs try to steal a base in the niuth inning when there were two out and the team was eight runs be- hind. Can you beat that one? We all asked him what he would have done with the base if he had stolen it. One run didn’t amount to anything. It would take nine to win. Why put the side out? “Don’t know,” he admitted, “but that base looked so big down there 1 just thought I'd steal i I saw another base runner try to steal home when the bases were full and there were two out and there were two strikes and three balls on the batter. That I would regard as the champion bone. There have been several in- stances where a runner tried to steal third base with the bases full. A fellow once did that when Arlie Latham was standing on third. He looked down and saw the other base runner sliding into his legs. “Hey, get t'ell out of here,” he said, kicking at the boneheaded runner. “Where'd you come from? This is not exactly a bone, but it's odd: 1 saw Pete Browning drop to his knees in trying to dodge a wide pitch one day, when his bat, coming around the wrong way, hit the ball down the left field foul line for a two-base hit. screamed the Tomorrow—Why Base Ball Has Developed in Thirty Years.
