IWINTEE BASEBALL
FROM THE INSIDE
"What constitutes team work,"
1» a question often asked of any
one directly connected with the
playing end of base ball. The
fans are constantly reminded that
this feature of a clubs play Is
one of the most important essen
tials In its success.
Naturally they wonder what
really constitutes team play, and
hence, the reason the question Is
so often asked. Team work Is
nothing more than a perfect un
derstanding between all the mem
bers of a club as to what Is to be
done on a particular play.
For instance: There is a man
on first with but one out. If the
runner decides to try for second
he first Imparts this information
to the batter so the man at the
plate can in any legitimate way
help him reach the base in safe
ty. Or vice versa.
If the man at the bat doesn't
know what the base runner is go
ing to do, it can readily be seen
that his chance to help the run
ner advance is not near as good
as If he were aware of the inten
tion.
This same theory applies to
every play, when two or more
men are connected with the play.
We will say that with a man on
first the guardian of the sack de
cides there la a chance to catch
the runner napping.
The first sacker accordingly
signals the catcher to throw to
him there on the next ball pitch
ed. For the backstop to be sure
that his end of the play is to be
made right, he must let the pitch
er know what he is going to do,
so the box artist can hand the ball
wide of the plate, that the batter
will not have a chance to hit at
the ball and spoil the attempted
play.
Any number of plays of this
nature might be cited, but they
all come back to the fundamental
point of a thorough understand
ing between the players.
When this understanding is
not thorough it certainly works
havoc with team play. With a
man on first and one out, the hit
and run Is attempted. The batter
decides on this play and gives the
signal. He takes it for granted
the man at first Is going down on
the next ball pitched and to help
him swings at the ball, no matter
where it is.
If, instead of the base runner
| starting for second, he remains
i glued to the bag because he has
missed the sign, the man at bat
goes through with his end for
nothing.
When he see* that the base
runner is still on first his con
fidence is shaken and he is afraid
to give the signal for fear the run
ner will miss it again.
A play of this kind may easily
lone the game and It emphasizes
the importance of an understand
ing between every member of the
club. It the team expects to be
{contender for the championship
honors.

EXPERTLY EXPLAINED
BTRATJXIY OF THE GAME.
BLOCKING TO GIVE CHANCE AT GOAL. THIS BLOCK IS A.
FOUL.
■ . By John J. Schommer, [
Captain Chicago University Basket
...-■.■.: .'■_■• Ball Team. ", - r •
Every basket ball team should
have a number of plays that work
by signal. The skeptical ask,
"What will the other ; team do
while these plays' by signal are be
ing ■worked?" ' This is easily an
swered. ■ Nothing ! works as; well
when done at random as when
done by system. "fi The first trusts
to luck, the latter :to concentrat
ed effort.:: , -..■■■- t,i ' '
Most teams in the past have de
pended upon scrimmaging the ball
all over the floor and trusting that
eventually a:J man would ■; "get
loose" to receive a pass for a try
for goal. > *-, - ■■%■■';■< *■-"' -'•.■ "' -w???' ■
By the system, a trained team
plays for a • vantage V, point* and
passes the ball at the signal. The
system' gives 'an " opening •at the
jump-off for an attack. Each
man I knows i what - Is to be done
with ' the . ball the Instant he . re
ceives it, and thus time and effort
are saved/;-.- f-:■■./■■"*''*-. ;<^zy-:,”
A rudimentary play fa the one
known as "left forward to % right
forward Sln i, left forward's posi
tion." The i left j forward rushes
for a I position to i the left V side of
the center. Just ■■ as X the jg referee
throws | the' ball :up ; between the
centers. ";■'•'; . '■■■, r *«".^'-*..-:- W

left forward, who Instantly passes
it over his shoulder to the position
he left, where it 1b caught by the
right forward, who has crossed
over. The right forward then tries
for a goal, or If closely guarded,
passes to the center, who Immedi
ately after the Jump covers the po
sition vacated by the right forward
and is therefore in a position to re
ceive the pass and try for goal.
The left forward, after passing
the ball, sprints to take a posi
tion in front of the basket. The
men are well placed in case the
goal is missed and the ball re
bounds. The center is on the right
side of the basket, left forward in
front of it, and right forward on
the left side.
In case the opposite center gets
the jump tha guards must get the
ball and complete the play. *
The same play is used on the
opposite side, "right forward to
left forward In right forward's po
sition." The center bats the. ball
to his right, whare the right for
ward gets it and passes it to the
left forward, who crosses and
then tries for a goal or passes to
the center for a try.
The three men cover the basket

for the rebound, only the center is
now on the left Bide of the basket,
the right forward in front and the
left forward on the right side.
The system of signals may be
either words, numbers or gestures.
Such familiar phrases as "come
on" or "play hard" or "right at
them" may be used to designate
certain formations. Numbers or
letters may be used instead of
the phrases alluded to, or gestures
may be used.
A team ought to have its best
formations, by which I mean
those that work the best, designat
ed by gestures, or, as they are call
ed, "silent slpnals."
The advantage of this Is plain.
Where an audience is yelling, to
call out signals would be useless.
because none would be heard
Therefore to overcome this diffi
culty a team must resort to ges
tur"<! or "silent Hfsrnals."
These may consist of raising the
left hand and tnen the right, 0)
both. Then, to increase th<
number of gestures to cover th'
different plays, the hands may l>.
clenched, or one or two fingers
and so on, held up.
The next article will be a fur
ther discussion of the strategy o!
the game, and plays involving th<
guards will be given.
