Text | The St. Louis Browns have a new trick to worry pitchers and deceive the umpire, and worked it several times in Brooklyn last week. The wrinkle is to hug the plate closely and lean away over it, thus making the pitcher deliver wildly or else hit them. In the latter case the Browns have a knack of stopping the balls against their bodies with their hands, so as to escape injury. Anything to get on base is their motto. |
