Gravelin, Victoria. . tional conservative lines. My reasons for this belief are several. In the first place, opponents in a world series do no’ Second Baseman N spite of the fact that there has been a@/p. Jerterson, Everett. decided revolution in the game of baseball|/M. A. Hueston, Bremer- in the last two years, and that now it’s game of swat, and hits and much more. frequent occur- of t or collectively, as well as they know the teams they combat daily in their respective leagues, and the procedure is consequently slower. Secondly, players or teams do not take the same chances, to begin with at least, in A world series an they do in a regular game. The series tn too short, the risk too great, and not worth It. As @ last resort, when other means of making runs have failed, & manager may be forced to attempt anything. For example, in 1911, when the Giants couldn't fathom the offerings of Bender or Coombe with any de aree of success, McGraw started bis men on a baseetealing crusade. That year, if I am not mistaken, the club created a major league record which still stands. But after Jack Lapp had pegged out five in one game, that was stopped, too. tho it may seem, base and a practice Strange stealing ie an art that’s played but a «mail part in the outcome of any world series, In the 1921 preseries predictions | the slowness of the Yanks and the | fleetnens of the Giants was dweit upon at great length, Whereas the final count showed the Nationals had seven stolen bases to the Ameri cans’ six. And I think I am safe tn saying the six were better applied and counted for more than the neven. Possibly there is no set atyle of play that can be followed in a world series, but play must be adapted to conditions. It's the team that can adjust {ta play to conform with those conditions that has the big edge. When one method of attack fails, try something else. “Mix ‘em up,” ts the motto I like to follow. Have the other fellow worrying about what you are going to do, and you'll be a jump ahead all the while, The edge is what counts in a short neries—hustle!
