6 BIG BATTING RALLY ENABLES REDLEGS TO TURN VICTORY CINCINNATI. O., April 14 A big batting rally coming off, the veteran Babe Adams, in the eighth inning gave Pat Moran's young and aggressive team a well-earned victory over the Pittsburg Pirates in the opening game

of the national league season, winning j by the score of 5-3. j Luque was given the honor by Manager Pat of working in the opening game and came through with flying colors. Though hit freely throughout he was strong with runners on the paths, turning back the Pirate batters when hits meant runs. His support was exceptionally good and fast, th-3 team hitting with men on the bases. Bohne and Fonseca led the team In hitting, displaying as much power with the war club as they did in the exhibition games. Their triples in the eighth frame were hard smashes into the crowd that lined the left field wall. Pitches Heady Game. Adams pitched his usual steady, heady game, but weakened in the eighth when he allowed a pass and four hits including two triples. He was replaced by Hamilton. The Pirates staged a desperate rally In the eighth after two men were out. Higbee lined out a double and went to third on Carey's single through the box. Maranville shot a single into center and by a bit of clever base running stretched it into a double. See's throw-in took a bad bound and both Bigbee and Carey scored, Barnhart ended the rally by fouling out to Daubert. The teams will play the second game on Redland field Thursday afternoon.

Defensive Team Play By WILBERT ROBINSON, of the Brooklyn Dodgers

EDITOR'S NOTE i The follower article -nam written, for Frank G. Heake by Wllbcrt Robinson, rrffardrd by many as baseball's master strategist and universally proclaimed tbe best tator of yoathful baaebsllers. While It la of tbe moat vital latereat to yoaaicatera, It also furnishes apleadld reading- for the ndnlt fan, for It details the methods which Robinson nsed .to reach baseball arreataeas. Roblasoa'a article Is the tenth of a series that Is appearing la tbls column dally oa Hw to Play Baseball." Articles by Staler. Colllaa. Maraavllle, Ciroh, Speaker, O'Neill. Alezaader aad Cobb appeared prevloaaly. Tomorrows article will be "Offensive Team Play" by YVtlbert Robinson.) Baseball is a battle of wits. Simmer the whole &ame down and the basic rule is: "Prevent the batter from reaching ;iuy base in safety." It's one man, with a club in Ills hand, pitted against nine men whose sole intent is to stop him from eettine to first base in safety. One unfamiliar with baseball would conclude that it's a simple matter to throw back any attack by the lone batsman. But those who know the game, know that only perfect playing by those nine men can accomplish the purpose. The brightest stars of the game already have tipped you boys in the real way to defend each individual position on the diamond from the attack of the man with the club. But. they haven't told you anything about team work, after all, is the most vital factor In success. The nine greatest individual stars in the game, working individually and without harmony and . co-ordination would be beaten in every start by a mediocre club which had team work down to a science. Must Have Team Work. . For what good would it do to have O'Neill back of the plate and Collins on second if they weren't working together in perfect understanding in perfect team work? How would Collins know when O'Neill was going to throw to second? How could Alexander pitch successfully if there wasn't team work between him and his catcher as to what ball to throw? It takes nine men working together to make a ball club. Nine men working individually never would get anywhere. The first thing to devise for the success of team work is a set of signals which the entire team should know. i The catcher signals with his fingers ! for tlio sort of pitch he wants. One l finger may mean a fast one; two fingeis an out-curve; three fingers a drop. The fist clenched tight may call for a slow ball. By a movement of his arm. the touching of his cap. or the pulling of iis belt, the catcher can signal whether he wants the ball close end inside or whether it's to be a wide one. Various Signals. Some catchers signal for a pitchout by waggling their glove vigorous slap on the knee may signal the pitcher fnv an intentional pass to the batter. A catcher, by kicking around in the dust may be signalling to one baseman or another that on receiving the next pitch, he is going to throw to that base in en effort to catch the runi er napping. 'Or by some other motion the catcher tells the pitcher to make a throw to the base to try to cstch a runner off the bag. Make up your own set of signals. They are not difficult to devise. But when you do, school your whole team in those signals. Drill them until they are absolutely certain they understand them. The catcher, as a rule, starts the signals. It's the duty of the- shortstop, because he can see every movement of the catcher to catch those signals and relay them immediately to every other player on the team. In that way there is perfect understanding by the team as to what is being planned by the battery. The advantage In tipping the inficlders and outfielders As ,to what sort of pitch is intended is obvious, because batsmen generally hit certain pitches to certain spots in certain fields. If the outfielders and infielders know what the pitch will be, it is of great value to them in placing themselves in the pathway of the drive. Must Study Batsman. Every man on the team must study each batsman. Every ball player has certain hitting peculiarities. Some can't hit anywhere but to right or right center. Others invariably drive to center while still others are left fielder hitters. Some whack most of 'em for long distances; others are "Texas League" swatters. The game knows many batsmen who rarely lift the ball but drive on a line through second or short. Others favor sizzling bounders along the left or right field foul line. Study each batsman. Learn into what direction he is prone to hit. Learn what sort of a hitter he is long or short distance, line driver or lofty lifter. Then never forget it. By remembering, you can, with considerable success, place yourself right in the position where he'll drop or drive the ball. If a new player joins your club, the

first thing to do, as each batter unfamiliar to him steps to the plate, is to signal your new mate where to station himself. That's part of the team work system. Call Out Flys. Appoint one of your infielders the second baseman to be the "callerout" whenever lofty flies are lifted. He Is to yell which man inflelder, catcher or pitcher, is to take an infield or "Texas League" fly. Then heed his call as to which man should try for the fly. But if you are nearest to the man trying for the ball, don't walk away from him. Stay near him but back of him. tie may drop the ball. If he does you're there to pick it up. But don't be too near him to confuse him. The same rule applies to the outfield with the center fielder the "caller out." When a runner reaches first, the second baseman and shortstop decide who will take a throw to second. Having done so tbe second eacker signal the whole team. The advantage of tipping off the whole team is especially beneficial to the other two infielders. If the second baseman is to take the ball, the first baseman moves as far toward second as is consistent. That's for the purpose of covering part of second base territory while the second baseman is on his way to take a throw to the bag. If the shortstop is to take the ball, the third baseman shifts a little nearer to short. He's there to block any possible hit-and-run play which may be attempted through short. Must be Alert Whenever a play is made at any of the bases it's the duty of the outfielder back of that base to race in and be ready to pick up any overthrow. Countless games have been saved by just such alertness. All bases are important but home plate is tbe most important of alL A team may get 30 runners a round to third but if none scores that team can not win. So, after all, the vital place i to guard is the home plate. No play in the game Is more daring, more dangerous, nor greater than that of blocking a runner coming Into the plate. It requires courage and fearlessness for a catcher to stand there as a runner comes at him, spikes first. But a great catcher does it. The catcher should stand with his legs apart, so as to invite the player to slide into the trap. He should stand solidly so he won't be upset by the impast. But be should stand so that he can move quickly to either side of the plate to tag the runner, in case the runner elects to slide to one side or another, instead of plunging straight ahead. Always when a play is made at the plate, the pitcher, unless otherwise occupied, should back up the catcher. If the first baseman isn't guarding some other runner, he should be backing up, too. In conclusion, on the subject of "Defensive Team Work," these are the vital requisites: 1. A set of perfect working signals. 2. A careful study of every batsman. 3. A perfect working arrangement with your mates on every play. 4. Never let any play go unprotected if it's humanly possible to get you to back up your mates. 5. Keep your eyes open all the time. 6. Follow the ball always.

Wabash Drops Fifth Contest to Havolines CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind., April 14. Inability to tighten down with men on base coupled with the support which was at times inconsistent, caused Vandagriff to drop the fifth contest to the Havolines Wednesday, Wabash losing by an 11 to 0 score. Ten hits were registered off the big right hander's delivery, and the four errors made by the local team were disastrous. Friday pitched a neat contest for the winners, letting the Scarlet batsmen down with six hits, several of the scratch variety, and no two of which came in the same inning. The score: Wabash 000 000 000 0 6 4 Havolines 000 320 24' 11 10 2 Batteries Vandagriff and Gullett; Friday and Martin. "PUG" WINS GOLD WATCH ALONG WITH BALL GAME INDIANAPOLIS, April 14. Tiller (Pug) Cavet was awarded the gold watch presented by Leo Krauss to the Indianapolis player in Wednesday s game who was the roost valuable to his team. The selection was made by the three sports editors of the local papers, who decided that the logical man for the honor was the veteran twirier, who did not allow an earned lun in the opening contest. Pug richly deserves the watch for his coolness under fire of the Columbus sharpshooters, the big southpaw allowing only four hits, one coming after the fcide should have been retired in the Bixth. Caret's version of the affair is that the rabbit's foot sent to him on the bench just before the game by Mrs. F. W. Earhart had a lot to do with the victory. PLAN ALL-AMERICAN DAY. WINCHESTER, Ind..
