We'll take the first one—a game with a close score. We'll even say the score is tied and our side is at hat and the innings are wearing on. The pitchers are very effective and runs are hard to get. A base on| balls may lead to a run to- decide A stolen base following the base on balls may declde it. A clever base runner should take such a lead that he has an even chance to steal. Even though the opposition catcher is a per- Degger it is well to take the for runs are hard to get in this game and the run necessary | to win may have to be made through taking a chance The base on balls and the stolen base naturally will somewhat upset your opponents. By forcing them to make plays where perfect exccution is required to prevent you from scor. ing, you are making them take | chances of erring. SCORE 3-3 T INNIN Breuen | STEADY - MAN ON THIRD - 88 Two OUT- Take chances to win this game. You may not win It any other way annd it will be a mighty sweet game to win. Give your oppon tunity to make a m pitcher for a pass. If the pitcher stalls and delays long in making his windup, step out of the | box and worry him a little. .He can’t pitch if you step out of the box before he starts his windup. If your team has been waiting out the pitcher and your best batsman is up, give him permission to “take picks,” for the pitcher will be getting more careful and he will be inclined to try for control and less uff.” (Copyright, 1926.)
