The league idea imme- diately became popular, and the public showed a quick willingness to patron+ ize u sport regularly when the en- thusiasts felt that there was something at stake for which the players could struggle from day to day, Every club was playing for a common purpose, and hence the struggle to gain supremacy developed ecience, The club owners Boon found that the baseball team winning the most games would get the largest amount of gate reoelpta, and managers who could pro- duce a winner out of the material at hand in those days were as eagerly sought us they are to-day, When one club developed a new trick others quickly took advantage of it and strove for improvement, With all forves working in that difeotion some really marvellous results have followed. The earliest step toward science was made by John Ward and Arile Latham, who conceived the Idea of bunting the ball, Up to then, 1888, it had been customary for batters to swing at the ball with ali their might and take a chance on janding it eafe. The catcher mixty feet, and crafty battora like Ward and Latham discovered that by dropping the ball in front of the plate the pitcher could not get to it and the catcher eould not come up in time to throw out the runner. In later years, Wy, to give catchers a chance (0 field these bunts and also to shorten the game, the backstops were reaulred to stand directly behind the plate. as they do to-day, When it was found that othe bunt could be mastered the sacrffice hit fol- lowed, and the wine baseball heads found that many runs could be gained vy having the batter dump the ball in ront of the plate so as to advance @ runner to second without taking a ance on hitting into a doubie play or golnw out on @ Jong fy without any advance, ‘This necessitated a change In the soorine rules, #0 a6 to exempt a batter from damaging his record by purpoasly putting himeelf out. 08 the term “saorifice hit.” Soon after the agorifice hit became the real scientific play of baseball the old Baltimoro Club ‘of the National League er, McGraw, Jennings and ounor stare had ime, and @ great team uM was.
