(Copyright, 1C10, by American Fress Asso
ciation. I've been asked to describe what 1
think was the cleverest play that 1
ever pulled off during my long career
on the diamond. Well, that certainly
Is n hard one to hand me. You nee,
I've been playing many, many years
nnd have engaged In many hundreds
of hard fought games, so It Is not on
easy matter for me to recall what the
fans say Is the brainiest or most bril
liant play 1 ever made. A majority
of the fans who are not In touch with
the inner workings of njiaseball club

I
the Jcib. studying out intricate Mays
and ready !n grasp the epport unity of
fered t help his team to victory. He
Is like any head cf a department in
the busiiic-i world. He is paid for
using l;!s brains, hands and feet In an
endeavi.r tu make his employer a win
ner. There Is one play that I pulled off
last summer at American League park
which required the thickest kind of
thinking. lJetroit had runners on sec
ond nud third bases, nnd there was
but one out. Mclntyre lifted a long
foul lly to right field. I started after
the ball on the dead run. I got within
reach of It finally, but when the crowd
was expecting me to make a great
catch I suddenly dropped my hands to
my side and allowed the ball to strike
the ground. Tor a moment the crowd
started to groan and then broke out
Into a round of applause that gradual
ly spread all over the park. Why? If
I had caught that ball Stauage would
have scored for third, it being too long
0 throw to get him at the plate. As It
was foul nobody could advance. Mc
lntyre then hit a liner to Iemmitt, but
no score resulted, and the next batter
"tiled" out to Klberfeld. Quick thought
had saved a run. Three years ago
1 made exactly the same play ut High
lander park and was roundly censured.
The fans today know baseball.
Many times I have been asked, "Is
baseball faster today than It was twen
ty years agoV" My answer Is "Yes."
Tli" game of today is faster and hard
er, more scienlillc and more strenuoe-
thai that of long ago. The game tl
today requires more team work. Inside
la!! :'.:id tiore cleverly executed plays.
Facritlce hit tin?, the double steal, tlm
tsqiuvzc play, bunting, the hit and run
game and other strategic plays un
known or unpractlced by the men of
twenty years ago have worked n trans
formation in baseball.
Many of the old timers were the
equals of or snnerlors to the best play
ers of today, but as teams they were
deficient in a knowledge of many inno
vations and discoveries which make
haseba'l the greatest of all runes.
