|Title=short throw on a delayed double steal
|Text=<p>A point played last season with good effect at times was that of the catcher throwing to short-stop when a runner was on third, and another ran down from first to second to get the man on third home.  This was not done in the old style of throwing to short-stop’s position, but in throwing a little to the left of second base, the short-stop jumping forward and taking the ball and promptly returning it to the catcher in time.  When the ball swiftly thrown and accurately returned, the play invariably yields an out.  But it must be understood by signal to be done effectually.</p>
