Text	The Harvard base-ball men have hatched up a trick which they claim will catch nearly every opponent who is lucky enough to steal second base. The player who has succeeded in reaching second base, on seeing that baseman step back to his usual position, about ten feet back of the base line, steals several feet down the path toward third. When he is about in front of shortstop that player makes a dash toward second base, which causes the runner to dart in that direction also; but the shortstop's run is only a feint, and the runner, on seeing the shortstop stop, also stops before reaching second, and the pitcher throws the ball to the second baseman, who is on base, and whom the runner has entirely forgotten, and the runner is out.
