Text	A well-trained battery works together with one apparent thought and movement. There are certain signs agreed upon between the two players which no other players of the nine are cognizant of. It is by these signs that their strategic movements are governed, so that the pitcher can let his catcher know when he is going to send in a ball low or high, to the right or to the left, fast or slow, with a curve or for the catcher to hold for a throw, etc., etc.,; and the catcher can make his pitcher aware of the time for throwing to a particular base, or when to send in a high or a low ball or one either wide of the plate or over it. Each judges his batsman, and it is by their trained system of interchanging signals that they are enabled to outwit the man at the bat.
