FAMOUS PLAYS

By RANDOLPH ROSE
POOR old Rube Wad
dell. I’ll never for
get the day be knocked ■ _\
a home run and won a Jf —»» (o||
game for the Browns in u
St. Jjouis. Of his won- 's -1i f

one knows, for it was

out record in the Amer-
ican League by strik- , ” ~

mg out sixteen players
in one nine-inning game.
But as a batter Rube was a joke. It
always looked to me like he took a
healthy swing at every good ball on the
hope that sooner or later he’d accidently
wing his bat in the same groove that
tie trail was coming.
But this time be made a home run!
It was a Sunday afternoon along about
■ aS. The game was hopelessly against
• Browns, but by good luck the Browns
‘opened to get three on and Hobe Fer
the Browns’ third baseman came to
. liobie drove a home run scoring
r • including himself and the 30.0(10
egs at that park went wild. Those
or runs helped a lot. <
.-lit tiie real climax came later. With
1 re man on and one run needed to tie
.1 two to win, old Rube Waddell came
He took one good, live swing. His
t and the ball met face to face and the
ill went sailing for a home run. I’ve
n crazy baseball crowds, but that was
craziest. That was one time the
be got a hit and it delighted the
.arts of the multitude and won the
-a me.
thwinie Mack had better success man
sing the Rube than any other manager,
: think, and for a few years, by provid
r Rube with a keeper to keep him out
trouble, managed to get some good
■ ,k cut of him. When he got too ob
reperous. however, Connie turned hint
. 'r to the Browns, where Rube was
•.iost of the time in trouble.
He died two or three years back, and
with hint went the best pitching arm
tiiat ever worked in a ball game.
Jointly with Walter Johnson of Wash
ington. Waddell bolds the strike-out rec
ord of the American league. In a game
against St. Louis, July 2!), 1908, he
: truck out sixteen men. Other pitchers
have exceeded tiiat years bark but un-
i*. r different conditions. No modern
major league pitcher has done as good
except Johnson.
Waddell's greatest strike-out &tunt
was in a game of iudoor baseball at the
Armory in New York between teams
composed of <riants and players from
Rochester. Waddell struck out twenty
five men.
