5 D
OF TWO FREAK
By J. H. Heisman.
P ERHAPS the most singular thing
F ever saw happen In a baseball
game was during a contest be-
iween Oberlln and Allegheny Colleges
about twenty years ago. The game
was being played on Allegheny’s cam
pus at Meadville. Pa. The baseball
park.was very long, but It was quite
ike narrowest baseball park I ever
saw. Both the right and left field
ers always played but a little way
back of and out from first and third
base respectively, and let line drives
to their outside hand hit the fence,
and then play them on the rebound
like they would a ball on a pool ta
ble.
The near proximity of these fences
also meant that many balls went over
the fence, and so they’ had to keep
a couple of boys on the outside dur
ing the game to return the balls. At
one time I remember, there were six
balls outside the fence. The boys
on the outside simply returned the
balls into the field by a throw over
the fence, and so they were liable to
come popping back into the field of
play at any old place and time.
• • •
AT one stage of the game there was
a man on first and one on sec
ond for Allegheny, with two hands
down. The batter hit a slow line
drive that started right for third base,
but when It had traveled about tw-
thirds of the way there It suddenly
encountered another ball that came
from outside the field. This other
ball appeared to be headed for second
base, and of course from the side of
ihe perk. The two balls were Jour
neying e&out the same height, and
when they' collided they were both
deflected from their former courses
and both rolled almost together right
down to shortstop. Being called upon
at ahort notice to handle not one but
twe balls, neither of which he had
expected to try for, the Oberlln short-
etop went up In the air for an instant,
but valiantly decided to try for both.
They were not rolling with much
speed so he managed to flag one with
hie right hand and one with his left,
but as he handled neither of them
clean he managed to roll them both
from one hand to the other Just
enough to confuse himself and every
one else as to which was the batted
ball and which the thrown. But be
ing near third he simply tossed one
of them to the third sack with his
left hand and landed It there before
the forced runner from second Ar
rived. Hs now whipped the other,
which he had picked up with his right
hand simultaneously with the grab
of the flret by his left over to first
base. He made a pretty good heave,
but it was clear the batter had beat :t
out by a step.
• * *
THEN came the argument. If the
t ball that short threw to third
was the batted ball Allegheny had
been retired; but if the one he threw
to first was the ball that had been
in play then no one was out and all
hands were safe. There were about
849 people at that game, and 424Vs
persons were ready to make affidavits
that the ball that went to third was
ihe one that the batsman hit, white
about 424% others took their oath
then and there that the batted ball
■was the one thrown to first. The
poor umpire was the only individual
In the grounds who seemed to have
no opinion whatever on the subject.
But he heard all about it from the
captains, the players, the waterboys,
scorers, lawyers, doctors, expert wit
nesses and. I believe, every cat and
dog in the grounds.
• * •
H K wound up by giving a decision
that of course pleased nobody.
He declare!' that, inasmuch as his
right eve had seen the play one way
and Ills left eye the other way, the
best thing he could do was to put
t l>e runners back "where they started
from and the batter back at the plate,
and all hands try It over again.
Wouldn’t it be a funny old game
tf two batters and two pitchers and
two balls were put Into the game at
the same time?
Here’s one I heard Treasurer Ban
croft, of the Cincinnati Reds, tell n
year or two ago, which I have told
once or twice since and found It was
as well enjoyed by others as it had
been by me.
• * •
W HEN Bancroft was a young man
—many, many years ago. he
was connected with a professional
team of bush leaguers whose mana
ger found himself In sore need of an
lnflelder. He recalled having re
reived a number of letters from a
rvovioe living In a neighboring state
who had over and over again assured
this manager regarding his, the writ
er’s wonderful ability and of the cer
tainty of hts becoming the game's
greatest star at no distant day, could
he but secure a trial. In desperation
the manager wired him to come on.
The recruit arrived in due time and
was promptly thrust into the breach,
but, sad to relate, he booted and
bungled and threw away about every
ball that came down to him, and they
were many. That night he mustered
up courage enough to approach his
sorrowing manager with an Idea of
squaring himself as best he could.
"I was a little bit ofT to-day,” was
his propitiatory offering.
‘Yes a little.” conceded his mana
ger, with a tinge of young grape fruit
In his voice, "Just a little, but not
near as far off as you will be this
time tomorrow.”
And then, “like the Arab, he folded
his tent, and silently stole”—HOME!

CUBS^; GIANTS, 1.
NEW YORK, May 10.—In the pres
ence of a host of friend? from Troy,
Manager Evers, of the Cubs, whacked
a double in the eighth Inning that
busted a tied count and beat the
Giants, 2 to 1, in the opening com
bat of the present campaign. Cheney
pitched a bright battle against Dema-
ree, and while they broke even In the
matter of hits. Cheney displayed
greater genius in slipping out of trou
ble. He fanned seven of the enemy
and allowed six hits. A muff by Evers
In the seventh permitted the Giants to
tie the score after the Cubs had made
one tally in the seventh. In the eighth
Evers atoned for his fault by whack
ing the only two-bagger of the day
and winning the game. The score:

OUISVTLLE, May 10.—Donerall,
91 to 1 shot, carried the colors
of Thomas P. Hayes, of Lex
ington, Ky., to victory In the thirty-
ninth renewal of the historic Ken
tucky Derby, while the great Ten
Point, imported from the East espe
cially for this one engagement, fin
ished second, with Go Well, a filly,
in third pocket.
Neither Foundation nor Yankee
Notions, tw’o heavily backed Ken
tucky favorites, finished inside the
money, though they did flatter their
backers by chasing Ten Point close
ly for the first mile. They quit bad
ly when the real pinch came.
The track record for a mile and &
quarter, made by Meridian in win
ning the Derby two years ago, was
lowered a fifth of a second, the dis
tance being negotiated in the sen
sationally fast time of 2:04 4-5.
Eight Horses Start.
Eight horses faced the starter and
were sent away to a perfect “break,”
with Ten Point setting the pace and
Foundation the runner-up.
The balance of the field were
strung out for the first three-quarters
of a mile. After that Donerail and
Gowell commenced to move up on
the leaders, and had it not been for
sharp interference at the turn for
home Gowell might have won, for
she was coming like lightning at
the time.
The greatest crowd that ever passed
through the famous Churchill Downs
turnstile witnessed the derby. Con
servative estimates placed the paid
attendance at 30,000 with about 20,000
taking advantage of the manage
ment’s generosity in placing the in
ner field at the free disposal of the
populace.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 10.—The
rallbirds at the speedway track are
daily being treated to some flashy
driving on the part of several of the
entrants of the 500-mile international
race Memorial Day. The drivers in
their practice spins take advantage
of the fine weather and the clickers
snapped quite a few' laps under the
1:5ft mark for two and ofie-half miles.
Bob Burnam celebrated his appear

Don Herr with his Stutz got some
good speed out of his mount and

Johnny Jenkins was tuning up his
Schacht at a two minute lap clip.
Howard Wilcox, with his six special,

MKMPHIS. TENN., May 10.—M<>m-

day when by dove-tailing hits with
error* they defeated Birmingham in a
game marked by brilliant pitching.
Score, 3 to 1. Harrell opposed Thomp
son, the former Georgia collegian,
and for eight innings it was nip and
tuck in the matter of effectiveness,
though Thompson was nicked for two
scores in the second, these ebing due
largely to errors by Mayer and El-
lam. In the eighth Thompson weak
ened perceptibly and was hit hard.
Fast fielding kept the score dow^i to

WhiteSox AreNewSpeed Marvels
© o © © o o ©
Cal’s Men Rank High in League
By Bill Bailey.
D ID It‘over occur to yp’u that the
White Sox team, os composed
at the present moment, la one
of the fastest aggregations In the
American League? It never did? Ap
parently It has occurred to few.
Mighty little has been written
about the speed of the white-hosed
boys, and It’s an asset that is rarely
mentioned when the Sox fans get in;o
a discussion.
Omit the pitchers, for thsy ere al
ways in a speed discussion, a.id put
Schalk behind the bat and the White
Sox line-up looks one of the fastest
In B B. Johnson's organisation. Baker
Borton wouldn’t be acoounted a fast
man on the bases. He len t horribly
slow or anything of that sort. But.
when you have said that the flret
sacker Is not a fast man you have
mentioned about the only fellow In
the llne-u.p who wouldn’t be account
ed swift on any team.
Take the Infield. Rath at second 19
a faBt man. Weaver at short Is a man
who Is deceptive In his s^eed. Lord,
the third baseman, Is anything save V
slow man when he gets on the bases
Weaver should really be a grea,t
base runner. Not only has he the
speed, but he has the vicious slide
which the reallv great base runner
must possess. There isn’t anything
gentle about the shortstop. He Is
vicious when he tags a runner. And
he goes Into a bag the same way.
That's a big asset, because any time
that the basemen get the idee that
you are going In there with all you'-
weight back of you and with those
spikes glistening they become a. trifle
timorous. Which is only natural.
...
T HE outfield, especially with Shaller
In the line-up. also Is fast. Col
lins looks like a speed boy. Mattlck
is another fellow who can cover a lot
of ground In the outfield or who can
get over the base paths in a hurry.
And Shaller Is fast enough to hold his
own.
Here Is another deceptive fellcw.
Shaller la a daring man on the bases,
yet a fellow whose work will fail lo
attract a great deal 'of attention. He
Is of the Schulte type—a fellow who
makes difficult plays look easy rather
than one who makes the easy plays
look difficult.
"What’s the use?” queried Shaller
when he was told that almost any
other outfielder would have made the
chance look difficult after he had
who run* ring*
then grabs tt wltp
d to the fan*,- ni
grabbed a l!»e drive at the sad of a
hard run. Qe got It ao easily that
half the spectacle waa taken from the
play.
“But the fellow who
round a fly ball and i
one hand looks good
the answer.
"But don’t you suppose tha man
ager knows?" was thp retort.
• • •
IT’S possible that Bchalk would net
1 be accounted a fast man tt you
compared him to some of the in ana
out fielders. But catchers, as a rule,
are slow and you couldn’t call the lit
tle backatop that. He’e ao much faater
than the average run of receivers that
he has the right to be classed with
the fast ones.
Rath, Lord, Weaver. Collins, Hat-
tick, Shaller and Schalk would be ae<
counted fast on any ball club. And
on top of that the fellow who would
give any and all of them a Taco for
the base-running honors has not been
mentioned. Rollie Zelder is the led
No, sir, there are mighty few hall
clubs In the American League pos
sessed of more npeed than that South
Side aggregation.
If they ever arranged a nine-man
relay race with a team representing
every club in the American League
as the contestants, the Sox wouldn’t
be eighth in the betting. And you
can wager on that.
