WORKING A DELAYED STEAL Tha Way Thl? CUv?r Trick, That Wa? Invantvd by Harry Stpvay, U??d to ?? HulUd Off by "Biy Bill" Lanyo. Anton's Waat*d Sacrifio* Bunt. "Base stealing, the gentle art of ?prluting and 'bitting tho dirt.' Is the fluent druwu and most closely culcu la ted play In baseball and the one that, above all others, reveuls lbe nutllie" inatlcai exactitude of the nutlonui game," suya Hugh B. Fuller ton In Un American Muguxlue. "A player who call run elghty-tivo feet in three and one third seconds from u Hat footed ?tart ought to reach second buse e.\ actly tied with the ball, nine I line* out of ten starts, If .the play is per fectly nnide by the runner, pitcher catcher and haaemuu. The slightest Inaccuracy or hesitation decider the play. "It seems u Niiuple matter to run ninety foot while a bull Is helm; throwu sixty-eight feet and caught and thrown buck approximately KJ'J feet, caught uguin and held In position to .touch the runner. Vet there are art and science in the fetty "There were great Case runners in the ofd day*. This was chiefly because In the curly days stealing second base was the chief aim of the game Mike KeJly. Billy namllton. who in two successive seasons stole over IO(i bases, und 'Bin Bill' Lange. who stole mm) times In one scuson. were till greut runners who would be great under present conditions. I recall vividly lounge's one hundredth stolen bu?e, which established his record He was on second buse with no out* out. und Chicago needed one run to win the game. Anson was at the bat. and. after his stolid, businesslike style, lie poked down a perfect sacrifice bunt and went lumbering townrd first buse Lange started for third buse. stopped and trotted back to second II u If way to the bench Anson discovered where Lange was and came near having n stroke of apoplexy. Lunge hud de llberately permitted his captain to sue rlflce without advancing. Then by a wonderful dusltlng sturt Lunge stole third buse. Bcored on.'a fly, and the game *va? won Because he won the game Anson forgnve bltn, but the mod ern player who attempted such a thing would be, suspended and fined. "The jnost effective Kteal eypr do vis ed is the 'delayed' steal, which, al though used during the early develop ment of the game, was neglected for many years until revived by Manager Chance of the Chicago Cubs. It was used with great effect by Bill Lange and nppj':ir?Mo hav?? boru Invented Sy Harry Stovey, a wonderful base run uer of the early days. The theory of the steal Is to catch the catcher and tho Indelder unprepared and out of position, and its success lies entirely In Its unexpectedness. "I^ange, the leading exponent of the delayed steal, made It after this fash Ion. As the ball would be pitched tip would leave first base al top speed and sprint as hard as he could perhaps twenty eight to thirty-fiv(yb*,ftj0iU<.<th<m stop short, hesitate and act as If he had blundered and Intended to try to regain first base. If ho succeeded In drawing the throw to first base ho proceeded to second at top speed. Hut In the great majority of cases the catcher would not attempt to throw to either base, but would keep motioning as If threatening to throw, and all tho time Lango would be edging back, Inch by Inch, toward first. Jockeying with the catcher. The catcher, satis tied that danger was past and that It was useless to throw to 1lrst, would relax from throwing position, ease down his arm and get ready to toss the bnll back to tho pitcher, /flio moment Lange saw the arm drop and [ the catcher change the position of his feet ho would dash at top speed for second pase. The catcher would leap back Into throwing position, raise his arm again and throw, provided the shortstop and second baseman had not deserted the baso and walked back to ward their regular positions. If they lost a fraction of a second lti recover Ing the base Lango would beat the ball, Tho fatal hesitancy of the catch er and baseman gave him his oppor tunlty. "Stealing third base from secoud Is much easier In reality than stealing second from first, although it is at tempted much less frequently. The runner 'moving up with his arm* can ( take more than twice the lend from*" second base than from first, and. he sides that. It Is much easier to gain a (lying start. It has. however, been declared bad judgment to steal third except in cloBe games with one out and the opposing pitcher going well and preventing hitting. In such cases, where one ran will win or tie. stealing third is advised by many. It is more difficult to see the pitcher's movements from behind him than from one side. Still, the runner need not start as qufc;kly, bnt can start at top speed when be seee the pitcher swinging his arm, advance a- thirfl of the way to third .base and then retreat In safety because the catchers throW is much longer. Also he Is In much better po sition to tako advantage of anyjrtlght slip in the work of the battery." Wife's Mother, ?f Course. Mabel?If your grandma has lost al> her teeth, how doee she eat? Willie?
