He played shortstop, and his activity in picking up hot grounders and his wonderful accuracy in throwing to first base were the chief attractions which brought many to the place. He was equally successful at the bat, and, when only fourteen years old, repeatedly lifted the ball over the left-field fence a feat which was only accomplished very rarely by the heaviest batsmen of the visiting nines.
White hit one of the high fast balls Scott was serving and sent it close to the left-field foul line. The running Reddie Ray made on that play held White at second base. But two runs had scored with no one out. Hanley, the fourth left-handed hitter, came up and Scott pitched to him as he had to the others high fast balls over the inside corner of the plate.
The short-stop is expected to try for all such hits falling in his own position, and also all falling back of the third baseman and in short left-field. With runners on bases, a double play may sometimes be made by allowing such a hit to first strike the ground.
I'll put yer in left-field, and yer won't be long ketchin' on." "I'd like it bully," said Haywood. "I've always wanted to play baseball."
When the day of the game arrived, however, Reddy and Heady took their positions with the proud satisfaction of knowing that they had passed all their school-book examinations. Now they wondered what percentage they would make in their baseball examination. Sleepy, however, went out to left-field not knowing where he stood.
Say, fellows, now and then a thing happens which sets our blood tingling and makes every nerve in us want to send up a mighty shout. For instance, when the score is against us in the ninth inning, and with two men out and the bases full, our pinch hitter comes to bat, coolly waits, picks out the "good one," and swats the pill over left-field fence!
The name "bandy" is sometimes applied also to shinney or shinty and in England it is also applied to our American game of ice hockey. The national game of America. The positions are pitcher, catcher, first base, second base, third base, shortstop, right-field, left-field, centre-field. The first six positions are called the in-field, and the last three, the out-field.
Every boy knows that a baseball team consists of nine players, the positions being pitcher, catcher, first base, second base, third base, and shortstop, which are called the in-field, and right-field, centre-field, and left-field, which positions are called the out-field.
He should generally step directly toward the pitcher, unless he has special reasons for doing otherwise. For instance, if a right-hand hitter wishes to hit to left-field, he had better step so as to face slightly in that direction; and if he wishes to hit to right-field, he will stand farther from the plate and step in with the left foot so as to face somewhat in the direction he intends to hit.
