| Text | The Baltimore Club does not practice like the rest of the American Association clubs, and seems to rely on chances. St. Louis practices all sorts of plays under Comiskey’s management. For instnace, a player is on first base. Comiskey plays a deep position and suddenly runs to first base. The catcher knows from the sign received previously that he must throw the ball. He does so, and frequently the runner who is not on to the trick gets too far off and is caught. The same thing works on the other places. Another thing they practice is bunting the ball, which has brought in many runs for them. ... ...but with Baltimore it is different. All managers should have a regular catechism of the different tricks and have regular days for instruction. Players often forget the plays told them, and to keep them fresh in their minds they should be put through a course of questions, and in pracitce should be given a chance to make difficult plays. |
