NEW SCHEME TO KILL SACRIFICE HITS

The diagram on the left shows the confusion attending the present
etyle of playing bunts. The first, seocnd and third basemen are drawn from
their positions, and the runner on firstls given a big lead. Too many men run
after bunts, which often results In an Intended sacrifice going as a hit and
allowing the man on base an extra sack. The diagram on the right il-
lustrates Tinker's new scheme for fielding bunts and blocking sacrifice
hits. The first baseman holds his base and keeps the runner close. The
pitcher, third baseman and catcher field all bunts, and with every base
covered there is a good chance for forcing the man on first and breaking
up the cacrlflc*.
The Modest Model.
The late Julia Ward Howe, though
i woman of very good appearance,
KTas extremely modest.
"She once posed for me." said a
Boston painter (he other day. "But
the hesitated a long time before con-
tenting. To urge her on 1 said:
" 'Don't be afraid. I'll do you Ju
rice, madam.'
" 'Ah, she answered, 'it Isn't Justice
1 ask for at your hands; It's mercy. "
Not Just Off the Shelf.
I.lttle Marget has the cbildlst trait
at curiosity, especially In regard to
the age of her elders.
"How old do you think I am, dear?"
counter-questioned the spinster aunt
to whom the clilld had put the Imper-
tinent Query. The little girl consid-
ered earnestly before replying
"Well, I don't know, Auntie Allca,
but you don't look naw!"
Joe Tinker, who plays shortstop for
the Chicago Cubs In summers, acts on
the stage in winters and still finds
time to devote to his family and
friends, has just devised a scheme
which, If put into operation and prop-
erly executed on the ball field, will
break up the bunting game and cause
epeedy baserunners to stand stone
■till on the base lines, bewildered and
helpless. It may revolutionize base-
ball tactics of the day.
Incidentally, Joe confided that this
scheme was the main reason why he
wanted to play third base, because in
the new plan the third baseman is to
play the leading role, and, like all act-
ors. Joe has pictured himself In the
(tar part.
Now, at first sight this scheme may
not appeal to some of the wise follow-
ers of the national game, but a bit of
careful consideration of the thing un-
doubtedly will convince him that it is
one of the most sensible suggestions
for improving the defensive part of
the gatne that has come up since So,
when Charley ComUkev began playing
far back of first base and taught the j
pitcher to cover the bag when balls
were hit to the first baseman.
Joe's scheme is so simple that one 1
wonders why some shrewd major
league manager had not thought of
It before, but if such is the case, it
has never been put into practice.
The scheme is simply to keep the
first baseman out of the muddle of
fielding bunts and have him stick to
the bag. have the pitcher always go to
his left to cover ground only in that
territory, while the third baseman
takes care of every chance to the
right of the pitcher, and the catcher
handles everyone that Is dumped just
In front of the plate.
In this way first base Is always cot- j
ered by the regular man, while the sec
ond baseman is always stationed on
the middle bag. ready for a play there,
and the shortstop runs down to third
to prevent the baserunner from going
from first to third on the play.
"It's very seldom we see a runner |
j forced at second base on a bunt," said
Tinker. In talking over the plan "But
with this scheme In operation I can
see no reason why the play couldn't
he pulled often and once you get to
doing that the bunting game Is broken
up You see, the first baseman be-
ing on the bag would hold the runner
close to that spot and prevent his get-
ting a big lead before the batter
touches the ball.
There's too much confusion in
handling bunts, anyway, and there's
no reason that I can see why the third
baseman and pitcher, with the aid of
the catcher, couldn't handle every-
thing. The pitcher would go to his
left as he delivered the ball and al-
ways be on the spot ready to handle
the ball. As It is now he runs
straight in and has to be prepared to
jump to either side, then probably be-
comes entangled with the third base-
man or the first baseman in getting
the ball.
Then, knowing that the second
baseman would always be stationed
on the middle bag. many a play could
be made there that would not b« at-
tempted otherwise because of fear
the baseman would not be on the spot.
A third baseman with a good arm and
active on his feet could rush In. scoop
• ball and whirl and shoot It to sec-
ond without hesitating that instant
that loses so many runners. He would
always be assured that there was a
man on each base ready to receive the
ball.
"I should Judge that, having the
first taseman stick to the bag would
take about six feet off the lead ob-
tained by the baserunner. That's
enough to permit many a play at
second that would not be made other-
wise. The second baseman would al-
ways be there, you see, for he wouldn't
have to be playing half-way between
the bags, ready to cover first. If the
first baseman was after the ball.
"I've been thinking of that scheme
for a long time, and have always be-
lieved 1 would put it through if given
a chance."

My Dear Doctor:
"Owing to some disagreement with
- magazine several years ago
they have become quite vituperative,
and of late have publicly charged me
with falsehoods in my statements
that we have genuine testimonial let-
ters.
"It has been our rule to refrain
'.rom publishing the names either of
laymen or physicians who have writ-
ten to us in a complimentary way,
and we have declined to accede to the
Jcmand of attorneys that we turn
hese letters over/to them.
"I am asking a few men whom 1
i deem to be friends to permit me to
. reproduce some of their letters over
' their signatures in order to refute the
I falsehoods.
I "We have hundreds of letters from
j physicians, but I esteem the one that
| you wrote to me In 1906 among the
I very best, particularly in view of the
I fact that it recognizes the work I have
i been trying to do partly through the
I little book. 'The Road to Wellville '
"I do not sell or attempt to sell the
( higher thought which is more Impor-

"In order that your mind may be re-
i freshed I am herewith enclosing a
copy of your good letter, also a copy
j of the little book, and If you'will give
me the privilege of printing this over
| your signature I will accompany the
printing with an explanation as to
: why you permitted its use in publl-
I cation in order to refute falsehoods,
and under that method of treatment I
feel, so far as I know, there would be
no breach of the code of ethics.

My Dear Sir:
"I write to express my personal ai>
preciation of one of your business !
methods, that of accompanying each !
package of your Grape Nuts i roduc-
tlon with that little booklet "The!
Itoad to Wellville." A more appro-

sentation of health-giving auto-sugges- j

"The only hope for the betterment j
