How to Win Games
Some General Rules that All Players Both on the Field
and in the Grandstand Should Understand
By Hugh 5.
(Copj rtebt, lUlS, bj
Detroit lost a world's championship
by doing ono Uttlo thing wrong. Chi
cago throw away two by wrong se
lecting. Pittsburgh, with tho highest
honor wtthlti grasp, choso wrong Just
once and was beaten. Philadelphia's
great Athletics catno near defeat at
tho hands of a much weaker team by
two bits of faulty play. Not ono of
theso vital things that affected great
scries wns un error that showed In
tho scores. They wero examples of
how the wisest of players and man
agers will inuko tho wrong choice
'when ono of two things must bo done.
Tho plays. considered here aro those
that aro played over and over when
tho "If club" is in session. For, given
n situation and tho stage of the gume,
nlnety-nlno out of a hundred major
lcaguo players can tell you exactly
how that play should bo nmdu. It is
tun purposo of this nrtlclo not so
much to show how plays should bo
made, as when. A perfectly executed
play may bo correct nt ono time, and
entirely wrong n moment later. I am
going on tho assumption that every
boy in America knows how to play
baseball, and understands tho rules,
which are tho baseball primer. This
tells how tho primer is Interpreted
and applied by major league players.
As regards offensive buseball. the
making of runs. There are two great
types of teams; tho teams that play
for ono run at a time (a class now
heavily handicapped), nnd those that
play for runs in bunches. Inside the
last two years a change In conditions
has forced a revolution in play and
has brought a period of systematic
attack with a view of making a bunch
of runB at ono time. Roughly speak
ing It may bo Bald that for live years
tho American lcaguo has been devel
oping this system -while most of tho
National lcaguo teams wero "ono run
at a tlmo" clubs. The exceptions
wero tho Now York Giants in tho Na
tional, which played tho bunched
runs gamo, and tho Chicago Whito
Sox, a team -that, being strong In
pitchers and weak In hitters, played
for ono run.
Tho team that plays for ono run at
a tlmo must havo supreme confldenco
In Its pitchers. Tho entire system Is
based on tho supposition that the
pitcher is strong enough to hold tho
opposing team to a low score.
I havo seen Connie Mack's Athlet
ics, tnTeo runs behind, perhaps In the.
fourth or fifth inning, supremo in their
confidence in their pltchor, mako tho
ono run safe, and crawling up run by
run, tie and then win out. The Chi
cago White Sox, under Fielder Jones,
and tho Chicago Cubs during the time
that Chanco possessed pitchers upon
whom ho could rely, played the samo
stylo of ball and won."13ut ns condi
tions of tho gamo change, tho stylo
of play to meet them rmiBt albo
chango.
Thoro are three ways of reaching
first baso: A base on balls, by being
hit by a pitched ball, by hitting tho
ball. Tho first two methods aro bo
closely allied as to be one, and they
form by far the most Important part
of the system of attack of any club.
No team ever won a pennant that was
not a "waiting team" that is, ono
that could compel tho opposing pitch
er to "put 'om over In tho groove." It
does not necessarily follow that to be
a "good waiting team" a team must
draw many frco passes to first. The
object Is not so much to force the
pitcher to servo four wide pitches as

and to got him In tho hole," which
In baseball means to force him into a
position where, to avoid giving a pass,
ho must pitch tho ball ovor the plato
If tho count Is two and no strikes, tho
hatter Is morally certain the next ball
will be over tho plato, whether It is

knows that, In his anxiety to make
certain of throwing tho ball over tho
plato, the pltchor will not daro "put

practically certain that tho next ball
will be a good one to hit, and ho will
"set hlniBelf," "grab a too hold," and
doublo his chances of a baso hit.
Ordinarily both tho Detroit team
and tho Athletics aro good waiting
teams, teams that havo opposing pitch
ors In distress perhaps as often as any
clubs. Yet Detroit threw away a
World's championship that looked
easy, and tho Athletics camo near the
samo fate, by lapses In their system.
In tho World's series between Pitts
burg nnd Detroit It looked as If tho
Pirates did not hnvo curve pitchers
enough, or of sufficient quality, to pro
vent Detroit from slugging Its way to
victory. Fred Cmrk wbb forced to
fall back upon Adams, a fairly good,
but not sensational curve ball pitcher,
who was young and Inexperienced.
In tho opening gamo Adams wns as
nervous nnd shaken as any pitcher
ever wns. He was trembling nnd whlto
from nervousness and the strain. Ho
passed tho first batter without getting
a ball over tho plate, and with Hush,
ono of tho best waiters and ono of tho
hardest men in tho business to pitch
to nt bat, Adams seemed In dire
strnits. There Jennings mado tho
greatest mlstnko of his career. He
Manager Clark of Pittsburgh.
signaled' Bush to sacrifice on the first
ball pitched. There was a groan from
a dozen baseball men who realized
that Jennings practically was refus
ing to lot Adams throw away bis own
gamo. Bush bunted, Dotrolt scored,
but had Bush been permitted to wait,
Detroit probably would havo won that
gamo in the first inning, driven Adams'
off tho slab, and, had they done that
Adams nover would havo pitched
again in that scries; as 'It was he
steadied, won tho game, camo back
stronger and again still stronger and
won tho championship for Pittsburg.
In spite of that lesson Connie Mack
did exactly tho samo thing In tho
World series In 1911, refused to let
Marquard throw away his gamo in tho
first Inning, and almost lost tho gamo
by It.
Ono of tho mysteries of baseball for
many years has been tho excessive
hitting power of every team Connie
Mack, commander of tho Athletics,
leads. I believe the secret of his suc
cess lies In this Jockeying with pitch
ers, waiting persistently to get the
pitcher outguessed and puzzled and
then breaking up tho gamo with long
drives. I believe that Mack has the
following system of upsetting oppos
ing pitchers, no matter how effective
they may be: His team starts to. do
ono thing In tho first Inning. If It
starts to wait on the pltchor It waits
consistently, every batter doing ex
actly the samo thing. Perhaps for
three Innings, every batter will wait
as long as posslblo before hitting.
Then, just as tho opposing pitcher be
gins to flguro that the Athletics will
take a strlko or two and begins shoot
ing the first ball over, the Athletics
change and each man swings with full
force at the first ball.'Somotlmes thoy
do this for two Innings, until tho
pitcher changes; then thoy will lot the
iirSrball go and every batter will hit
the second ball. They keep at It un
til, In some Inning, they get tho clus
ter of drives for which they havo been
playing, pound out a bunch of runs
and win.
Thero Is no way of proving the
theory, except by the scores, as Mack
Is about as communlcatlvo as a deaf
and dumb diplomat, but In the scores
I analyzed It was remarkable to see
how many of the Athletics did the
same thing, and hit the same ball (n
certain innings. The idea of the sys
tem seems to be to force the pitcher
to do tho guessing, rather than to try
to outguess him. And such a system,
persisted In and changed suddenly,
would- explain the httless, fruitless In
nings during which some pitcher
seemed to havo tho Champions at his
mercy, and tho sudden, slam-bang on
slaught brings victory.
There is science and skill In tho
actual hitting fit a ball, but the real
valuo of hitting lies In advancing run
nors who already are on bases: Tho
sncrlflco bunt, tho bunt and run, the
hit and run and hitting as tho. runner
starts, aB differentiated from the hit
and run. No club that simply at
tempts to drive tho ball safe can win
consistently. Tho batter must help
tho bnso runner und cover his moves
Just as surely as, In war, tho nrtlllory
must cover a cavalry or Infantry
charge.
Tho hit and run consists of tho bat
tor giving or receiving a signal so that
both ho and tho runner know thnt on
tho next pitched ball tho runner Is
going to start for tho next baso. Tho
duty of tho batter then Is to hit tho
ball and toward the spot most llkoly
to bo vacated by tho Inflelder who
goes to tnko tho throw at second baso.
But tho hit and run, effectlvo as it
has proved, has been found Inferior
to tho run nnd hit. Tho difference Is
that tho dftemy has no chanco to dis
cover In advance what tho piny Is to
bo. In tho hit and run tho passing
of signals often warns tho opposing
catcher or pitcher of tho Intent to
make tho play. Tho result Is that tho
pitcher "pitches out" (thnt Is, throws
tho ball to tho catcher so far from tho
plato that tho batter cannot hit It)
and tho catcher, being prepared,
throws out tho base runner. Besides,
olther tho runner or batter may miss
tho signal, with disastrous results.
Still tho Blgnal Is absolutely neces
sary when new players aro on a team,
und often between veterans, especially
when the runner Is a dashing and In-
ventlvo playor. Tho greatest of teams
and players havo been for n number
of years abandoning tho hit and run
and playing run and hit; that is, tho
runner starts, when ho sees tho best
opportunity nud tho battor, Boeing him
going, protects him by hitting tho ball
or by hitting at It, so ns to hamper
tho fteedom of tho catcher's move
ments. .Crawford and Cobb, of the Do
troll team, have used this sstoiii with
wonderful success, and Crawford sel
dom fulls to cover Cobb's movements.
Thu "All Star" team of WlO, which
prepared tho Athletics tor their ilrst
championship, was composed of about
as quick thinking n crowd of play
era us could be assembled. They held
a meeting befpro thoy went Into the
llrst game against thu champions and
discussed signals. TheBccoud base
man, shortstop and catcher agreed on
sliui.lo slcim to notify thu lulleld
whether tho shortstop or second base
man would take tho throw ut' second.
Then they decided not to attempt any
other signal, but to play run and hit.
Not ouco, during tho entire series In
which they beat the Champions de
cisively, .did ny batter fall to see
tho runner start, or neglect to pro
tect him.
Tho run and lilt Is, of course, ex
tremely dilllcult for Inexperienced
players. It requires a quick oye, u
quick wit and a quick swing to hit
tho bull after catching a llcetlng
glimpse of tho runner moving.
Tho run and hit Is tho most effect
lvo stylo of attack yot devised, nnd es
pecially adapted to tho now conditions,
its usefulness as a run producer and
In advancing runners being greatly
increased aftor the adoption of tho
livelier ball, lato In 1910.
Thoro Is not, nor over can be.nny fixed
rulo regarding base running. It is all
a study of tho stages of tho game.
When ono run Is needed, any way to
get to second baso from llrst la the
proper way. Remember that, In base
running, tho moro tho situation seems
to call for an effort to stent thu less
chanco to steal Is given. Tho oppos
ing pitcher knows that, with two out
and a run desperately needed, tho run
ner on first will probably nttompt to
steal on the first pitched ball;
therefore he watches tho bnsoB inoro
closely, tho catcher Is expecting tho
attempt, nnd Is fortified, tho second
baseman and shortstop exchange sig
nals and decide, which will receive the
throw. Therefore the runner who
steals on "tho wrong ball," that Is,
steals whef. tho best authorities do
claro a steal should not bo mado, Is
much moro llkoly to accomplish tho
steal than 1b the ono who runB at thu
proper Instant. In other words, when
you must you seldom can, and when
you don't need to It Is easy. During last
season In both tho major leagues tho
runners violated every previously ac
cepted rule. They stole with nono
out, with one or two out, stole on the
first, second, third or fourth ball
pitched, stole oven with tho count ono
strlko and threo balls. The season
was a reversion to thb baseball of 15
years ago In baso running.
After reaching second baso tho prob
lem of tho steal is much more compli
cated. Most managers oppose steal
ing third, except In rare cases, on tho
grounds that tho risk does not justi
fy the gain, ns a hit or a bad error
will score a runner from second as
easily as it will from third.
In regurd to the stealing of third.
With a runner on second and no ono
out, tho Bacrltlco bunt, oven with the
new ball, seems tho play If tho score
is close that Is, close enough for ono
run to tie, or put tho attacking team
in tho lead. With one out tho steal Is
Justified, especially when tho fielders
around Bccond do not hold up runners
or when tho pitcher notoriously is
weak in watching bases. In that sit
uation I would advise attempts to
steal at every opportunity provided
the team is ahead or only one run be
hind. If more than two runs behind,
stay at second and wait for'hlts; tho
chances of scoring on short passed
balls, wild pitches, or fumbles that
would not permit scoring from second
are too small to bo counted on. Tho
only Justification for stealing third
with two out, In my mind, is-that tho
runner intends to bump or Interforo
with tho third baseman and strive to
forco him or scaro him Into letting tho
ball go past far enough to pormlt
Bcorlng. This evidently was McQraw's
Idea In at IcnBt two cases during tho
last world's sorles either that or his
base runners blundored most aston
ishingly. Stealing homo Is Justifiable only un
der tho most despcrnto conditions or
ugalnst a pitcher who palpably Is so
"rattled" that ho Is blind to every
thing except thu man ut thu plate and
allows tho runner a Hying start. Then
an Instant of hesitation by tho pitcher
may mnko the steal n succubb. It Is
good Judgment, nt times, for a Hoot,
daring man who Is n good slldor, to
steal when tho batter Is helpless bo
foro n pitcher and wlion two are out.
The doublo steal, executed with run
ncrB on llrst nnd third is, according to
tho closest students of tho gamo,
proper under tho following conditions:
When two men nro out nnd a weak
batter or a slow runner Is nt tho plato,
nnd when ono run Is needed to win the
game tho play In the latter enso be
ing JiiRtlflnblo with no one out, or with
two out but not with only ono out.
Many Judges object to tho play unless
two aro out but last season I saw
It worked repeatedly by clover teams
with no ono out. With runners on
fliM nnd third and a decent cntchor
w oi king, tho doublo steal worked to
get a runner over thu pinto, ought
not to succeed In more than two cases
In boven.
In the defensive end of tho game
every situation Is a study of the bat
ter, and, going boond the Individual
battels It la n study of the stage of
the game. The great problems of the
game nro: When to piny the lulleld
chwe, to choose between uttomptlng
u double play when runners atu on
lii. m and third and letting the run
count, und above nil to place thu out
llt'lilt'ts with regurd to the stages of
the gamo.
Tho commonest blunders of rcnllv
guat managers and plaors are made
In the disposition of thu outlleld A
gient many captains who anango
their lulleld carefully pay little utten
tlon to the second Hue of defense, and
nally they icly moie upon the In
dividual brain work of tho outlleld
than they do of the hlllelders This
Is partly becaur.o they aro more close
ly In touch with thu lulleld and pnrtl
because of the fuw r (buncos for the
outlleld to get Into n vital play.
Tho outlleld piolilonm really aro
moie vexing than those of tho lulleld
Tho situation mainly Is forced upon
tho lulleld. With a runner on t lilt il and
one or none out, nud the run menus u
tie or defeat, the lulleld Is compelled
to cotuo foiwntd. In tho cully Mages
of the game tho manager Is foiced to
duido whether to allow tjiu run to
fa(ore, or to try to cut II off. and must
base his Judgment on ""tho ability of
his pitcher to hold the other team to
n low score, und of his own hltteis to
bat in enough runs to win. Tenuis
such as Betiolt and tho Athletics,
haul-hitting nnd free scoring tenuis,
can afford to let thu other team gain
u run, rather than risk Its getting two
or three, us thoy can scoro moro later.

GOOD METHOD OF STARCHING
Most Housewives Have Their Own.
Way of Doing This Important Part
of Their Work.
When boiled starch Is used, it
Bhould always bo first mixed with a
Uttlo cold watur until It is smooth, and
then gradually mixed with bulling wa
ter and cooked. Somo" houso wives add
keiosene, somo a Uttlo sugar, and
somo buttqr, to insure brilliancy and
smoothness of finish. Whatever la
ndded should bo thoroughly added with
the starch.
Many persons find It easlor to use
always tho kind of starch which does
not requlro conking. ThlB starch Is
mixed with a Uttlo cold water, then
with boiling water until It becomes
clear. It Is then ready for use. Tho
articles for starching aro tmmorsed in
tho starch and wrung as dry as pos
sible, then thoroughly dried, sprinkled
nnd Ironed. r
