12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1898. THE PLAY OF “HIT AND RUN” Hard Baseball Problem Explained. SUBSTITUTE FOR SACRIFICE ONLY A PLACE BATTER CAN DO THE JOB. A Scientific Nut for Star Players to Crack When They Want Good Practice—Its Great Value. BY JOE CORBETT. 1 have been asked time and agaln why batters, as a general rule, endeavor to| hit in the direction of right fleld, after | a runner has been safely lodged on first base. For the benefit of those who are unfamiliar with this advanced method of play, I will attempt to elucidate its prin- cipal point and the advantages derived from its use. I will also give a little advice—for you must know I make a special of advising my contemporaries, and this, by the way, I am told is the best thing I do—regarding the correct manner in which the play should be con- summated. It is known among baseball men, and for that matter among those familiar with it, as the hit and run. Its simplic- ity, no doubt, accounts for its name, yet the play when attempted contains a number of difficultl which to most batsmen, especially those not skilled in the art of placing a ball, are hard to overcome. The expression “hit and run” signifies that a man starts to steal a ba: and that the batter at the same instant hits the ball. The idea I will en- deavor to convey in the following exam- ple: We will say, for illustration, that there {s a runner on first base. How | should he attempt to pilfer the next cushion? The instant he departs from first elther the shortstop or second base- man, whichever intends covering the bag, will necessarily have to leave his posi- tion to intercept the throw from the catcher which, as we are aware, is de- | livered with the intention of heading off the I STATE'S VETERAN fully Pass California’s Veteran National Guar. He passed away while reclining in a ¢ street, yesterda: e was beloved by every member o whf€h is now in Manila, where he mig tation as a soldler was equal to his fai of Lotta’s fountain, the decaying cas tamous buildings In this city, he held Although 67 years of age, he was st PEOOCRO® the ranks. The position of licutenant and as there was no chance to refuse erunner. In this particular case | we wiil say that the second baseman handled the thrcw from the catcher. In 80 doing, he was compelled to leave his position, as 1 mentioned above, and at | the same time leave a complete opening between first and second bases, It is the | duty of the batter, therefore, if possible, to ball through that space left uncovered by the second baseman. If he | is succe . the continues on to third, and he y at the | initial bag with a base hit to his credit, | The play when properly made is most beatiful and scientific. It is, however, at- | tended with m flict and’ fs, therefore, seld witnessed during play | at Recredtion ¥ With the batter | He, on receiving | a s from the runner, which implies I'm gol to steal,” must first discern | whether the shortstop or second baseman intends g second, and in this he After satlsfying himself | v _important nt he must | then direct the ball in that viginity. If his conjectures are correct the play is succe If wrong it is a failure. Howe if he be in error in his con-| jectures one success is assured: the man that starts for second Invariably ar- rives at hi& destination before an oppor- | tunity is offered to retire him at that base. This 4s accounted for by the fact that he st to steal before the ball is pitched, and consequently ures a lead providing he is quick in carrying out his | part of the play, which should bring him | safely to second. Of course, if the batter strikes at the ball and misses, the pl: then revert pilfering a t ter—and the to its original state—a man sted by the bat- | are in favor of his ch being again retired. Then again, the bat- ter may hit the ball to the pitcher or to one of the othe p! very hard, which is and a double pla This misfortune sue if a batter w at the ball, as th however, would not en- reful not to swing | vle of batting, es- pecially in scientific pl is dangerous in the treme. I have sald time and again that batters should not swing at a ball, no matter what the situation, and permit me to em- )}';hn ize the fact that In attempting the it and run it is almost suicide to re- sort to such tactics. 1 have seen the play | at Recreation Park at least fifty this manner. This play, while v and does look simple, is a very dif- ficult proposition from l‘m beginning. A batter must first be capable of placing a ball in either left or right field. This in itself is an art attained only by unremit- ting practice and perseverence. He must | then acquire the equally difficult art of picking out the right ball, because it Is possibie to place only certain balls. It is useless for a right-hand batter to try and piace a ball on the inside corner of the plate or close to him In right fleld, and for a left-handed one to hit a simi- lar ball into left. It, of course, can be done, but with no results. What batters should do in attempting this play is to| meet the ball, as snap hitters are the only successful place batters. If you have guessed which of tha two men intends taking the bag, 11 little grounder of average speed 18 »ll that .8 1ccessary to complete the performanc As there is no one close cnou to In tercept this grounder before it is van- quished by the fielders, why swing at the Dall and endanger the success of the play when a_simple little tap wiil have wue same effect? Then, agaln. let us say that your supposition regarding the man who is to take the bag terminated disas- trously, or, in other words, that you thought the shortstop was going to cover, and in consequence, hit the ball In that direction; but, instead, the second base- man_took the base. Now, if you swung at the ball and it so happened that it was hit hard, which generally {is the case, or near it, the chances of your as- sisting_the opposite side in the comple- tion of a double -~lay are quite favor- able. But, on the other hand, if you simpl met the ball and an easy hit rl’su\[?!. while you undoubtedly would be retired at first, keen consolation would follow the fact that you advanced the runner to second base. Your easy hit, there- fore, {f unsuccessful, terminates in a sac- rifice. The hit and run is the latest sclentific acquisition to the national game. It is much more advantageous than the sac- rifice game; in fact, it is so far superior that there is no comparison. Sacrificing, however, is not entirely done away with, and it is a much better and safer game to play for those players who are mnot proficlent in place hitting. I will con- clude by reiterating a past statement— that snapping or meeting the ball is the scientific manner of batting, and without 1his art players need never hope to en- age in scientific plays to any extent, for t would be almost impossible to do so successfull; HANGED HIMSELF.

Special Dispatch to The Call SAN JOSE, July 6.—The action of the City Board of Education last night is The dismissal of Professor Smith from the High School and the election of Charles B. Gleason as his successor has proved to be the stirring up of a hor- net's nest. The abolishing of the office of Deputy Superintendent of Schools because Mrs. A. B. Clement refused to give up her office to Miss Irene Han- kenson, who had been illegally elected, spite. These were the sole topics discussed in most of the homes to-day. The mat- ter of holding a mass-meeting to pro- test against these insolent acts of the Trustees was discussed by a number of influential people. ~While Trustees Wemple, Kenyon, Graham, Langford and O'Neil were strongly denounced Graham came in for the lion’s share of criticism. He Is the tool of Rea and he it was who engineered the shameful work done last night. From the very beginning of the school trouble he has bragged that Smith would never be re- instated and on several occasions he has offered to wager money on the proposition. Back of the trustees in their despica- ble action was the “gang’s” organ, the Mercury, which has aided in every manner possible to defeat the wish of the people. Instead of making a fight for Smith and what was right it has remained quiet. % The High School faculty is the prime cause of Professor Smith’s discharge. Petty jealousy among the other teach- ers in that school has militated against Smith, and in the last month the jeal- ous ones have been hard at work to down him. Foremost in the lot is A. E. Shumate, principal of the school. While posing as a friend of Smith he has been urging the board on and was instrumental in bringing Gleason here. For some time there have been ru- mors that all was not going right at the High School and a number of citi- zens, it is asserted, will demand an in- vestigation. The Union Battlefleld Veterans are receiving bitter condemnation. They Advances made on furniture and planos, with or without removal, J. Noonan, 1017-1023 Mission, first claimed Smith was unpatriotic and had spoken disparagingly of General but the beginning of what promises to | | be a sensational turn in school affairs. shows how the “gang” will vent its| Grant. For this they were denounced by the Grand Army posts of the city. The leaders of this gang-controlled or- ganization, W. J. Wollcott and Major Starck, are political tricksters, who do the bidding of “Boss” Rea among the old soldiers. In all probability Professor Smith will start a private school. Last week he had applications from over 150 of his old pupils. When the Board of Education failed to re-elect Smith the students of the High School voted unanimously not to attend school next term unless Professor Smith was re- instated. Since then they have repeated this vow, and the majority of parents have expressed themselves in sym- pathy with their children. Influential | people are taking up Smith’s fight and the action of the board last night is but the beginning of a struggle be- tween the better people and the “gang” which has been running school affairs to reward its friends and punish its enemies. During tLe past year the condition of affairs in tke School Board has gone from bad to worse. Superintendent Russell's annual report shows that “‘a financial crisis has now been reached. The expenditures—teachers’ salaries, etc.—contracted for the ensuing year amount to $130,922, while the receipts for that year will only amount to $81,- 899. This will leave a deficlency of $49,020 to be raised by city taxes. A levy of 18 cents, same as last year, will raise but $28,800, and on June 30, 1899, there will be a deficiency of $20,220. | Statutes prohibit the expenditure of more money in any one year than raised in that year for that purpose, and it will be impossible to ralse money by taxes. The apportionment of $15,000 for July, 1899, might be used, and yet the department would be expending $5000 more than the law allows, and at the end of the year be $4000 worse off. The July apportionment is for main- taining grammar and primary grades, and If that is used teachers would have | to wait until December for their salar- ies. Before allowing another claim the board should make a cut of from $10,000 to $15,000 in annual expenses.” It was shown that from $12,000 to $15,000 would be needed to finish and furnish the new High School, while there is only $1471 in the board fund available. A 2-cent levy would raise sufficient funds to furnish part of the building so it could be used for school purposes. « This condition has been brought about by the old board, of which Trus- tees Graham, Wemple and Kenyon were members. Yet in spite of this the board has elected Miss MacKenzle | Supervisor of Kindergartens at a sal- ary of $75 a month and other unneces- sary expenditures have been made. The position created for Miss MacKenzie is purely a sinecure and not needed, as there are only seven kindergartens and seventeen teachers. Another unnecessary expense, and one that has been the means of mulct- ing the city in the sum of over $1000, is that of supplying the school house windows with ‘“Model” hinges. This was done at the instance of Trustee Graham. The “Model Hinge Company” is composed of Police Commissioner Carmichael and other politicians. Dur- ing the past year the hinges have been put into school buildings at a cost of $787, or $1 50 a set. These same poli- ticlans had the same hinge included in the new High School specifications, thus adding over $500 additional cost to the building.
