Text	When a player is on the first base and one on the third and the catcher holds the ball ready to throw to second, the short-stop should get nearly on the line of the pitcher and second baseman and have an understanding with the catcher to have him throw the ball to short-stop instead of second base, for on seeing the ball leave the catcher’s hands, apparently for second base, the player on the third will be apt to leave for home, in which case the short-stop will have the ball in hand, ready to throw either to the catcher or third base; by this means, though the player running to second will have his base given him, the player on the third will be likely to be put out, and the player nearest home is the party to be put out first when there is any choice.
