USE SACRIFICE ONLY IN CLOSE GAMES

Manager Stovall, of the Naps, believes the sacrifice should be used only in close games. “When the Nap pitcher Is going good we will use the sacrifice and play for one run at a time, which is the safe and sure way,” says George, “but when our pitching is not strong enough to hold the opposing team to a few runs we will play the hit and run, taking a chance on getting more runs than the other fellows. I be-

Ileve it is a good plan to mix the attack under either of these conditions, but do not believe In mixing up the styles except when the opposing team can be caught napping.”
