The betterment was sufficiently pronounced to find reflec- tion in price movements, although the low point_to which trading has fallen |and the absence of outside interest in | the market precluded an extended and vigorous advance. During the first hour of the day there was a brisk demand, and prices rose smartly. Can- adian Pacific, vesterday's weak fea- ture, bounded up 2 5-8 and Union Pa- cific nearly as much. Other prominent mediums of speculation rose a point or more. The demand soon fell off, however, and prices reacted.

Many Devices Have Been Devised to Outwit Opponents. When old timers get to arguing about the relative merits of ball pl: |ers of the 13th and 20th centur they can win the argument in the backstopping department. Not that there are not as brilliant catchers now as ever looked through a mask, but the art of catching has fallen some- at into decay, taking the whole run | of major league’ catchers as a ficld of observation. Probably 75 per cent of | the catchers in the game today give the pitcher the sign for the next ball while the pitcher is off the slab if there are runners on bases and partic ularly if there is a runner on first or happens most frequently when there a base runner likely to advance. When the bags are empty or there is runner on third the pifche will take his regular pos {Bokiiie o7 fhe Vestcher's Some pitchers habitually remain 2n, off the slab until they know what | they are going to pitch. When this is not a deliberately ac- quired habit to overcome the tendency {to pitch too fast, it 15 done as a rule | for he rpose’ of guarding agains the catcher's sign to tne bas Chere has been so much talk icion about signal tipping nt years that catchers and pitch- lers have devoted a lot thought to crossing their oppoonents {and preventing the detectors of their signals. By stepping towards third base from the slab when there is a funner on first, the pitcher enables the catcher to conceal his hand from a man on first. When there is a runner on second, the process is re- | versed and the pitcher steps over to- | ward first base to look for the sign. |If the only runner is on third he can- {in rec not see a sign anyway. With runners on first and second the problem is more difficult and the battery men have to resort to other ruses,” which they think clever. In working out these schemes to check-mate would-be signal tippers, the catoher and pitcher have tossed into the discard onme of the most ef- fective defensive elements of the game —the eyes and wits of the, catcher. | O1d-time backstops and a few of the present generation were and are of | sreat assistance in every game in lling the turn on what the base |runners or batsmen are planning to do on the next ball pitched. In order to do this it is necessary for the pitcher to be on his slab ready to pitch before the sign is given. Then, with | the runner and batsman alert for the play to start with the motion of the pitcher's arm, one or the other of the opponents s lable to give away the impending play by some unconscious move or attitude, The wist catcher, squatting behind the balsman keeps one on the runmer and the other on the batsman and gives his sign to the pitcher deliber- ately, not hurrledly. If he detects the intent of the runner to steal or sees a hit-ond-run play coming off he can call for a piich out, which means fthe ball will be delivered out of reach of the batsman, but In good position for the catcher to- throw out the run- ner. If the batsman his the pitcher in the hole go that it I8 not safe to 'waste a ball by pitching it out of reach, the cateher can call for a ball he knows it will be difficult for the batsman to hit safely. If ithe back- stop sees nothing to indicate there is any play on betwéen the runmer. and the batsman he can more safely second. Watch this any day and see how often fhe pitcher will stand off to one side of the slab or behind it ! {until he ha ught the sign for the | | next ball to be delivered. Then said pitcher will step on the slab, usually take his hurling position deliberatel and finally will pitch the ball. This of time and | coupons. Valuable —all kinds.
