i How to Win Games Some General Rules that All Players Both on the Field ' and in the Grandstand Should Understand fly Hugh S. (GutrrlW, mil, Detroit lost a world's championship by doing one little thing wrong. Chi cago threw away two by wrong se lecting, Pittsburgh, with the highest honor within grasp, chose wrong just onos and was beaten. Philadelphia's great Athletics came near defeat at the hands of a much weaker team by two bits of faulty play. Not one of these vital things that affected great series was an error that showed In the scores. They were examples of how the wisest of players and man agers will make the wrong choice when one of iwo things must be done. The plays considered here are those that are played over and over when the "If club" la in session. For, given a situation and the stage of the game, ninety-nine out of a hundred major league players can tell you exactly how that play should be made. - It is the purpose of this article not so much to show how plays should be made, as when. A perfectly executed play may be correct at one time, and entirely wrong a moment later. I am going on the assumption that every , boy In America knows bow to play baseball, and understands the rules, which are the baseball primer. This tells how the primer Is interpreted and applied by major league players. As regards offensive baseball, the making of runs. There are two great types of teams; the teams that play for one run at a time (a class now heavily handicapped), and 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 stuck with a view of making a bunch of runs at one time. Roughly speak ing it may be said that for five years the American league has been devel oping this system while most of the National league teams were "one run at a time" clubs. ,The exceptions were the New York Giants in the Na tional, which played the bunched runs game, and the Chicago White Sox, a team that, being strong in pitchers and weak in hitters, played for one run, ; ' , The team that plays for one run at a time must have supreme confidence In Its pitchers. The entire system is based on the supposition that the pitcher Is strong enough to hold the opposing team-to a low score. I have seen Connie Mack's Athlet ics, three runs behind, perhaps in the fourth or fifth inning, supreme in their confidence In their pitcher, make the One run safe,' and crawling up run by run, tie and then win out. The Chi cago White Sox, under Fielder Jones, hnti thm Phlin rtnha riurln ttut time that Chance possessed pitchers upon whom he could rely, played the same style of ball and won. - But as condi tions of the game change, the style of play ' to meet them , must also change., - There are three ways of reaching first base: A base on balls, by being . hit by a pitched ball, by hitting the , ball. The first two methods are so 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, one that could compel the opposing pitch, er to "put 'em over in the groove." It does not necessarily follow that to be a "good waiting team" a team must draw many free passes to first. The object Is not so much to force the pitcher to serve, four wide pitches as mmmmm "Robberl" to force him to use his full strength, and to get him "In the hole," which in baseball means to force' him Into a position where, to avoid giving a pass, he must pitch the ball over the plate. If the count is two and no strikes, the batter is morally certain the next ball will be over the plate, whether It Is straight or a curve and he -.' also knows that, in his anxiety to make certain of throwing the baH over the plate, the pitcher will not dare "put as much on" the ball as he would do if there were two strikes and one or two balls called. Therefore he Is ALL LOST BY SELFISH MESS Though. Altogether Toe Common an ' Error, It Is One of the Worst ( of the Human Race.

"grab a toe hold,", and double his chances of a base hit Ordinarily both the Detroit team and the Athletics are good waiting teams, teams that have opposing pitch era In distress perhaps as often as any clubs. , Tet Detroit threw away a World's championship that looked easy, and the Athletics came near the same fate, by lapses In their system. In the World's series between Pitts burg and Detroit It looked as If the Pirates did not have curve pitchers enough, or of sufficient quality, to pre vent Detroit from slugging its way to victory.. Fred Clark was forced to fall back upon Adams, a fairly good, hut not sensational curve ball pitcher, who was young and Inexperienced. In the opening game Adams was as nervous and shaken as any pitcher ever was. He was trembling and white from nervousness and the strain. He passed the first batter without getting a ball over the plate, and with Bush, one of the best waiters and one of the hardest men in the business to pitch to at bat, Adams seemed In dire straits. There Jennings made the greatest mistake of his career. He Manager Clark of Pittsburgh. signaled Bush to sacrifice on the first ball pitched. There was a groan from a dosen baseball men who realized that Jennings practically was refus ing to let Adams throw away his own game. , Bush bunted, Detroit scored, but had Bush been permitted to wait Detroit probably would have won that game in the first inning, driven Adams off the slab, and, bad they' done that Adams never ; would have pitched again in that series; as It was he steadied, won the, game, came back stronger and again still stronger and won the championship for Pittsburg. In spite of that lesson Connie Mack did exactly the same thing in the World series in 1911, refused to let Marquard throw away his game in the first inning, and almost lost the game by It. v.,. One of the mysteries of baseball for many years has been the excessive hitting power of every team Connie Mack, commander of the Athletics, leads. -1 believe the secret of his suc cess lies in this Jockeying with pitch ers, waiting persistently . to get the pitcher outguessed and puszled and then breaking up the game 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 one thing In the first Inning. If it starts to wait on the pitcher It waits consistently; every batter doijg ex actly the same thing. Perhaps for three Innings, every batter will wait as long as possible before hitting. Then, Just as the opposing pitcher be gins to figure that the Athletics will take a strike or two and begins shoot ing, the first ball over.' the Athletics change and each man swings with full force at the first balL Sometimes they do this for two Innings, until the pitcher changes; then they wity let the first ball go and every batter will hit the second ball. They keep at It un til, in some inning, they get the clus ter of drives for which they have been playing, pound out a bunch of runs and win. ' . v ' There is no way of proving the theory,' except by the scores, as Mack is about as communicative 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 In certain Innings. The Idea of the sys tem seems to be to force the pitcher to do the guessing,' rather than to try to outguess him. And such a system, persisted in and changed suddenly, would explain thelhltless, fruitless in nings during which - some pitcher seemed to have the Champions at his mercy, and" the sudden, slam-bang on slaught brings victory. - There is science and skill in the actual hitting of a ball, but the real value of hitting' lies In advancing run ners who already are on bases; The sacrifice bunt the bunt and run, the hit and run and hitting as the runner starts, as differentiated from the hit and run. No club that simply at- ures of fragrance,' to withhold them from others, they vanish The colors and fragrance do not exist In the un opened bud. - It Is, only when the rose begins to open Itself, to give out its sweetness. Its life, to others that Its beauty and fragrance are developed. . So human selfishness defeats its own erjds.

The rin. i -V '.X. - i tempts to drive the ball safe can win consistently. - The batter must help the base runner and cover his moves Just as surely as, In war, the artillery must cover a cavalry or infantry charge. " " The hit and run consists of the bat ter giving or receiving a signal so that both he and the runner know that on the next pitched ball the runner Is going to start for the next base. The duty of the batter then is to hit the ball and toward the spot most likely to be vacated by the lnflelder who goea to take the throw at second base. But the bit and run, effective as It has proved, has been found inferior to the run and hit The difference Is that the enemy has no chance to dis cover in advance what the play is to be. in the hit and run the passing of signals often warns the opposing catcher or pitcher of the Intent to make the play. . The result Is that the pitcher "pitches out" (that Is, throws the ball to the catcher so tar from the plate that the batter cannot hit It) and the catcher, being prepared, throws out the base runner. Besides, either the runner or batter may miss the signal, with disastrous results. Still the signal Is absolutely neces sary when new players are on a team, and often between veterans especially when the runner is a dashing and in ventive player. The greatest of teams and players have been for a number of years abandoning the hit and run and playing run and hit; that Is, the runner starts when 'he sees the best opportunity and the batter, seeing him going, protects blm by hitting the ball or by hitting at It, so as to hamper the freedom of the catcher's move ments. Crawford and Cobb, of the De troit team, have used this system with wonderful success, and Crawford sel dom falls to cover Cobb's movements. . The "All Star" team of 1810, which prepared the Athletics for their first championship, was composed of about as quick thinking a crowd of play ers aa could be assembled. Tbey held a meeting before they went into the first game against the champions and discussed signals. The second base man, shortstop and catcher agreed on simple signs to . notify the infield whether the shortstop or second base man would take the throw at second. Then they decided not to attempt any other signal, but to play run and hit Not once, during the entire series In which they beat the Champions de cisively, did any batter fall, to see the runner start, or neglect to pro tect him. - . The run and hit is, of course, ex tremely difficult for Inexperienced players. It requires a quick, eye, a quick wit and a quick swing to hit the ball after catching a fleeting glimpse of the runner moving. . The run and hit is the most effect ive style of attack yet devised, and es pecially adapted to the new conditions. Its usefulness as a' run producer and In advancing runners being greatly Increased after the adoption of the livelier ball, late In 1910. There is not nor ever can be, any fixed rule regarding base running. It is all a study of the stages of the game. When one run is needed, any way to get to second base from first Is the proper way. Remember that in hase running, the more the situation seems to call for an effort to steal the less chance to steal is given. The oppos ing pitcher knows that, with two out and a run desperately needed, the run ner on first will probably attempt to steal on the first pitched ball; therefore he watches the bases more closely, the catcher Is expecting the attempt and Is fortified, the second baseman and shortstop exchange 'Sig nals and decide which will receive the throw. Therefore the , runner who steals on "the wrong ball," that Is, steals when the best authorities de clare a steal should not be made, Is much more likely to accomplish the steal than Is the one who runs at the 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 the major leagues the runners violated every previously ac cepted rule. They stole with none out with one or two out, stole on the first second, third or fourth ball pitched, stole even with the count one strike and three balls. The season was a reversion to the baseball of 16 years ago In base running. After reaching second base the prob lem of the steal Is much more compli cated. Most managers oppose steal ing third, except In rare cases, on the grounds that the risk does not Justi fy the gain, as a hit or a bad error will score a runner from second as easily 'as It will from third. In regard to the stealing of third. With a runner on second and no one out the sacrifice bunt even with the new ball, seems the play If the score Is close that Is, close enough for one run to tie, or put the attacking team In the lead. With one out the steal Is Justified, especially when the fielders around second do not hold up runners or when the 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, hits;- the chances of scoring on short passed balls, wild pitches, or fumbles that would not permit scoring from second are too small to be counted on. The only Justification for . stealing third with two out in my mind, is that the runner Intends to bump or interfere with the third baseman and strive to force htm or scare him Into letting the baH go past far enough ' to permit scoring. This evidently was McQraw's idea in at least two cases during the last world's series either that or his base runners blundered most aston ishingly, i ''',','.' : i . Stealing home la Justifiable only un- of his manhood dry up. His finer na ture becomes atrophied.' He grows deaf to the cries of help from bis fellow men. Tears that never are shed for others' woes sour to i string ing' acids In his own heart ' ' Refuse to open your purse, and soon you ' will cease to enjoy that which you have. Refuse to love, and you lose the power .to lore, and be li ved. Withhold your affections, and you Income a moral paralytic. But the moment you opn wider the door of your life and. like the rose, sid der the most desperate conditions or against a pitcher who palpably Is so "rattled" that be la blind to every thing except the man at the plate and allows the runner a flying start Then an Instant of hesitation by the pitcher may make the steal a success. It Is good Judgment, at times, for a fleet daring man who is a good slider, to steal when the batter Is helpless be fore a pitcher and when two are out The double steal, executed with run ners on first and third Is, according to, the closest students of the game, proper under the following conditions: When two men are out aid a weak batter or a slow runner is at the plate, and when one run is needed to win the game the play in the latter case be ing Justifiable with no one out or with two out but not with only one out Many Judgea object to the play unless two are out but last season I saw It worked repeatedly by clever teams with no one out With runners on first and third and a decent catcher working, the double steal worked to get a runner over the plate, ought not to succeed In more than two cases In seven. In the defensive end of the game every situation Is a study of the bat ter, and, going beyond the Individual' batters it is a study of the stage 6f the game. The great problems of the game are: When to play the infield close, to choose between attempting a double play when runners are on first and third and letting the run count and above all to place the out fielders with regard to the stages of the game. . The commonest blunders of really great managers and players are made In the disposition of the outfield. A great many captains who arrange their infield carefully pay little atten tion to the second line of defense, and really they rely more upon the In dividual brain work of the outfleld than they do of the Inflelders. This Is partly because they are more close ly In touch with the Infield and partly because of the fewer chances for the outfleld to get Into a vital play. The outfleld problems really are more vexing than those of the Infield. The situation mainly Is forced upon the Infield. With a runner on third and one or none out and the run means a tie or defeat, the infield Is compelled to come forward. In the early stages of the game the manager Is forced to decide whether to allow the run to score, or to try to cut it off, and must base his Judgment on the ability of his pitcher to hold the other team to a low score, and of his own hitters to bat In enough runs to win. Teama such as Detroit and the Athletics, hard-hitting and free-scoring teama, can afford to let the other team gain a run, rather than risk its getting two or three, as they can score more later. Teams such as the old Chicago White Sox, "the hltless wonders" of the American league, could not allow the opposing team a run and had to play the closest Inside game. Many of the better major . league teams, that Is, those possessing fast Inflelders, wlU vary the play when runners are on first and third, on out and a run to be cut off from the plate by playing the first baseman and third baseman close, and bringing the short stop and second baseman forward only part of the way holding them In position either to make a long fast throw to the plate or to try for the double play from second to first I have seen Evers and Tinker make the double play from second to first even When both were playing close, chang ing their plan like a flash, covering second and relaying -the ball to first at top speed, although they had played in to throw to the plate. .;, One of the greatest variations of the play I ever witnessed was made by Mclnnis of the Athletics. Collins and Barry were playing perhaps twelve feet closer to the plate than they ordi narily do, runners were on first , and third, one' out and a run needed to beat the champions. Collins and Bar ry Intended to try the double play If It was possible and to throw home If It was not Mclnnis and Baker were , i i 1. X V'.::t... .1 ; Connie Mack. drawn close with intent to throw to the plate. The ball was bit to Mclnnis on the second short bound, or rather to his right and as he was coming for ward and scooped the baU perfectly, he had an easy play to the plate. In stead of throwing there he flashed the ball like a shot to Barry at second base, whirled, raced for first and caught Barry's return throw on top of the bag, completing the double play. It was a wonderful play both In thought and execution, but I do not advise any other first baseman to at tempt It , - ' i out without stint your fragrance and : beauty, you let the sunshine of Ufa i into your own soul.

EATEN BY Fate of Maine Fisherman Who Fell Overboard From Dory. Physician Had Narrow Escape While Taking Plunge Right to Exter- . mlnate Enemy of Man ariU Fishes of the Atlantic, Rockland. Me. "And he said: 'My God, Frank, shoot me quick, shoot me quick, the dogs are' eatln' me alive.' "I hauled up my gun an' pulled back th' hammers, but I couldn't do It though I warnt more 'n ten feet from him, and could have blown his whole head off. I don't b'l've the Lord would hev called thet murder either. "I gasped for air, 'n dropped my gun on th' seat 'n' then I looked at Charlie again 'n' it waa all over. Jest a dark red In th' water 'n' a hundred ugly snouts, 'n' shlnln' rows of teeth Jest gleamln' 'n' snappln'' thar In th' gray of that October afternoon." It was Frank Oleson, a fisherman or Rockland, Me., who spoke. He was telling a little group of oilskin clad fishermen about a tragedy of 1885 when he and Charlie Freeman sailed out of Tenants Harbor, Me., one Oc tober morning. Oleson brought the lit tle sloop Alpine back the next morn ing alone. Freeman had fallen over board In the midst of a school of dog fish, which had eaten him alive be fore the eyes of his helpless compan panton. . They were bound tor the fishing groundsjjf Martlnlcus Island. Freeman had taken along a shotgun. When five miles from Criehaven a bunch of coots, flying low, came skimming along. Freeman fired into them, and three or four dropped. The Alpine was brought up Into the wind, and with her mainsail and Jib flapping the gunner Jumped Into the dory and started to pick up his game. f There was a shout, a splash, and Freeman waa struggling in the water. In reaching over the side of the dory he had lost his balance and fallen Into the choppy sea. In a moment the hun gry, sharkish dogs were after him. The opening paragraph tells all there Is to tell. , , - . Many stories are related to show the ferocity of the dogfish. It was not more than a dozen years ago that two New York yachtsmen were lolling along In a sloop yacht In Penobscot bay one July afternoon. One of the yachtsman, a physician named Bow ker, decided to take a plunge. He stripped and dived off the bow of the sloop, Intending to pull himself Into the tender trailing behind as it passed him. He had scarcely hit the water before he let out a yell. He Just managed to catch the gunwale of the rowboat when his companion reach ed him and hauled him in. Three ugly wounds showed In his legs where the voracious dogfish had bitten out c-unka. ; He was taken into Rockland where a physician treated him for several weeka before he was out of danger. That the extermination or at least the thinning out of the dogfish Is prac ticable has been demonstrated. Thirty five years ago the old Gloucester schooner Water Lily, according to Fred Lewis of Portland, who was a member of the crew, sailed from the Massachusetts port In command of Capt George E. Robinson on an ex perimental trip.'. The Water Lily proceeded to Kettle Bottom, about IS miles off Orr's Island. On the first day the high line dory from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m. had caught 1,300 dogfish. : From the total dogfish catch on the first day 285 buckets of MAYOR HOLDS UP A WEDDING New Jersey Men's Nerve Falls at Cruolal Moment In His First Ceremony.

Paris, France. Death la by no means the sudden change which our minds, laden with metaphysical tradi tion. Imagine. We talk of something the soul flying away from the body. It is seemingly all over. But It may not be, concedes the official bulletin of the French Academy of Medicine. A well known doctor has shown that every function of life save consciousness may be kept up. This authority sees nothing extravagant In the idea that medical science may some day go a step farther. It may restore consciousness even after it has been pronounced to be extinct provided fundamental chemical trans formations have not supervened. For a period as long as a decade French physicians have said it is possible to restore the action of the heart after "death" by means fo hypodermic In jections. Even In so-called sudden death there is a period which in French medical literature Is called "psychic twilight" The case mosttin point bearing up on the whole subject is that of a late noted French duke. He was a con spicuous figure In the old legitimist club life of .the French capital. He died recently at 10 o'clock at night His younger son would be of age at midnight For the sake of the two HUNTS 'DOG GIVEN BY RIVAL "Billy" Hitt, Once Fiancee of Miss (Catherine Elklns, Aids Her In Quest for Animal. , Washington.
