Anent Stealing Hoses
3 Base stealing in the majors is be-
fioming more and more a lost art.
I The hunt and the hit and run are
far more popular means of- advanc-
ing runners than the theft of a. base
through sheer speed alone.
“’One has only to glance through the
stolen base record of the American
and National Leagues to fully appre-
ciate the fact that one of the big-
g'elst thrills of the game is fast pang.
' n . '
l ‘With 90 games out of the way in
the two major’leagues. not a. sin-
gle speed merchant had reached the
ail-mark in stolen bases.
As a matter of fact just 13 play-
ers in the two leagues. seven in the
National and six in the American
6 amused a total of 10 or more
fts. . .
A most surprising state of affairs
was revealed by the base-stealing

last. relative to stolen bases. pre-
sents a most ridiculous situation.
In the first 50 games of the leap
son Johnny Mostil stole only 12
bases. Last season in the same time
he pilfcrcd twice that many.
In Max Carey's case the cold flg~
urea reveal an even more unusual
state of affairs. In 80 games he has
only four stolen bases to his credit.
I O C
Several Good Reasons
Why this apparent reversal of
form? As I have said before it can-
not be blamed on lack of speed. for
both are still among the fleetest
runners in the game.
Carey's failure to steal more bases
can probably be charged to ill-
healih. Out. at the start of the sea.-
son for possibly a month due to ill-
ness. Carey has never quite struck
his stride. No feature of his game
has suffered more thdn baserunning.
In addition his batting has also
been badly handicapped by lack of
condition. Always around the .300
mark. Carey's average since the
opening of the 1026 season has been
for closer to the .200 figure.
No one thing has slowed down the
Pirates more than Carey's failure to
run true to form at the bat. in the
field and on the bases.
If the Pirates. an odds-on-favorite
fail to repeat, the illness and subse-
have been the cause.
C U C
Johnny Gives Dope
Johnny Mostii of the Chicago
White Sox offers an explanation for
his limited number of thefts that is
logical as well as unusual.
"I am not making as many at-
tempts as I did last'year. hence the
shrinkage in my stolen bases. 1 am
positive. however, that my average
is better than last season. r. 1
"I'm working under orders to
worry the pitcher with false breaks
rather than try to go down on the
first or second pitch.
“Remembering how I ran wild
last season. catchers invariably waste
a couple of balls on me this year
when I reach first. ‘
“Signaling for a couple of pitch-
outs soon has the pitcher in the hole
with two balls charged against him.
That has a double advantage as it
gives the batter a chance to pick on
the cripple, knowing the pitcher is
going to"try to get it over or per.
mits the batsman to play out the
string. hoping to draw a. base on
balls. ,
'Last year I used my speed for
my own individual benefit. This year
1am using the reputation establish-
ed last. season for the psychological
effect it has on the play of the oppo—
sition. the repeated calling for waste
balls in the belief that I am going
down on each pitch." '
