We will suppose a man at first; the next striker should keep his eye on the runner. If he attempt to make second, strike, but do not hit the ball. It cuts the line of sight and disconcerts the catcher. Let the umpire call a strike; you can afford it, for the runner is safely at second. We gave this point to the Athletics years ago, and they played it successfully.
