Now, What Do You Think of That?
By James Swinnerton
Cracker Manager Negotiates
Brookhaven Course in 81.
P. S.—For 9 Holes.
By 0. B. Iveelor.
O UR old friend, Billy Smith, is
positively the latest to take up
the Royal and Ancient Game of
Golf.
Billy is in it for fair.
Billy had dabbled with the Deadly
Sport before. Once upon a time Per
cy Whiting enticed Billy out to East
Lake and caused him to smear his
remains pretty much all o^er the fair
greensward, and then came back and
wrote an astonishing stor^ bout it.
But that was all in
Bill is in earnest now—and if you
think Bill’s tobacco consuming facili
ties are pretty good while watching j
an extra-inning struggle with Mobile j
you ought to see him square off at an j
inoffensive little gutta-percha pellet, j
Bill is in earnest, now.
* * *
T O date the fell swoop with which |
Billy fell for it, we have to go
hack to Tuesday of this week, when I
r couple of friends of the Hon.
George Stallings, manager of the ,
Boston Braves, were in town.
It was up to Billy and Major Calla
way and C. T. Nunnally to entertain
them, and when they found the vis
itors were keen on golf it was an aw
ful shock to all but Major Callaway,
who is a Regular Golfer himself.
However, Bill collected himself and
said he’d try a crack at it, and so did
Mr. Nunnally.
For some reason, best known to
William and Mr. Nunnally, the report’
of the proceedings did not leak out
until yesterday.
* * *
I don’t think we did so bad-
ly,” Bill said, blushing. “We
played out at Brookhaven. where the
outfield is full of little hills, and it’s a
tough diamond, but I made it in—in
81, I believe.”
An 81 for a beginner struck us as
something great.
“Why, if you did an 81 for 18 holes,
you were breaking all records for a
rookie,” we began.
‘‘Who said i8 holes?” Bill objected.
“It was a nine-inning game. And I
think* an 81 is pretty blamed good,
too. Mr. Nunnally made a 79 one
round and a 59 the next, and I got to
thinking he was a champion.”
* * ♦
B ILL diagnosed his principal trou
ble as follows:
“I can hit the blamed ball all right,
but it always goes out to left field. If
they could switch the lay-out so the
holes all went around that way, I’d
get along pretty well. If that can't
be done. I reckon I’ll have to turn
around and begin trying to hit ’em
down the right-field foul line. What
do you suppose causes that?”
We gave it up.
But Bill didn’t.
“I know that any guy that could
ever hit pitching with a jump on it
can hit a ball that lies down and
keeps quiet,” said Bill, “and I’m go
ing to demonstrate it before I quit.
For one thing, I don’t believe I strad
dle the ball quite far enough, and I
know I don’t dig up enough ground
with the bat. I notice these good
players generally cut out a hunk of
sod along with the pill. But I’m go
ing to keep at it. I had no idea there
was so much to that blooming game.”
* * *
e EEMS to us we’ve heard that be-
^ fore.
But here’s one thing:
We will get <down with a small bet
right now that if B. Smtih makes up
his mind to play golf, B Smith will
do that very thing. And as a codicil
to that bet. we’ll dig a bit further
Into the future and add that if B.
Smith goes very far with the game
he will be a tough man for any in his
class to beat. Any real ball player
has something on ordinary citizens
when it comes to the pinch, in golf as
well as in any other sport that tests
the limit of nerve and courage.
Christie No Match
For Jack Dillon
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2.—Jack Dillon
continued his winning streak here yes-
terday by handing Gus Christie, of
Milwaukee, a neat lacing for ten rounds.
Christie was no match for his opponent
and was a badly marked man when
he left the arena at the end of the
bout.
Dillon fought an aggressive battle
From the first round to the finish and
it was only Christie’s gameness that
enabled him to stick the limit.
After the fight Dillon issued a chal
lenge to George Chip for the middle
weight title.
FLYNN BEATS O'CONNELL.
LA SALLE, ILL.. .Ian. 2.—Maurice
Flynn, a California product, stepped out
into the front ranks ot the feather
weights when he defeated Jeff O’Connell
here yesterday afternoon in t’neir ten-
round battle. The Westerner won six
of the ten rounds.
AMERICAN NEGRO LOSES.
LONDON, Jan. 2.—Bandsman Blake,
the champion English middleweight pu
gilist, last night defeated "Dixie Kid,
the American negro boxer, on points in
a 20-round bout.

Pennsylvania League Catcher Pulled Funniest Stunt Harry Ever Saw
WELCHONCE TELLS OF FREAK PLAYS ON DIAMOND
By Harry Welchonce.
Captain of 1914 Crackers.
I THINK about the funniest play I
ever saw was while a member ot
the Steubenville, Ohio, club of
the Ohio and Pennsylvania League
in 1909. We were playing a series in
Canton, Ohio, and had won only one
game and lost one when we started
the game which brought about the
play I am about to describe. We had
a youngster by the name of Winches
ter catching for us, and it was his
first season in professional ball, and
to make things harder for him, he
had an impediment in his speech
commonly known as stuttering, and
he was nicknamed “Windy.”
To get back to the game, it was
very important to us that we should
win this game, and we were all doing
oiy- best.
When we took the field at the end
of our half of the ninth inning, we
were in'the lead, 3 to 1, and every
thing was moving along smoothly.
Burkett, who was pitching for us,
walked the first man to face him in
**
the ninth, and the next man hit for
two bases, putting men on second and
third, with none out. He then pro
ceeded to walk the next batter, who
was a heavy hitter, preferring to take
a chance on filling up th£ bases and
a possible double play. The next bat
ter hit an easy pop fly to the first
baseman, and was an easy out, with
no change in the situation on the
bases. The nejA man hit a ground
ball right back at the pitcher, who
made the play at home, and “Windy”
immediately shot the ball to first base
for a double play. As it happened
this day there was only one umpire
on the job, and he, being back of the
bat, ruled the runner out at the plate,
but declared the runner safe at first
base. “Windy” turned to argue with
him, and before he got started for
his stuttering the man on second kept
on coming and was now nearing the
plate. The first baseman, seeing this,
shot the ball home, but “Windy” side,
stepped it and kept right on arguing,
the ball going 50 or 60 feet to the
stands. In the meantime th^re was
a merry-go-round on the bases, and
before the ball was retrieved by the
third baseman everybody had scored
and we were defeated, 4 to 3. The
manager rushed up to “Windy” and
yelled, in angry tones: “What is the
trouble with you?” Imagine his sur
prise when Windy anstvered him as
follows: “N-n-not-nothing. Q-o-only
I-I -1-1 a-a-a-am t-t-t-trying to sh-
sh-show th-thls guy where he is in
wrong.” I will not attempt to tell
what the manager said, but I can
say this much: He did no stuttering.
* • *
W HILE a member of the Philadel
phia Nationals in lflO and 1911
a couple of funny ones came up, one
of which I was mixed up in myself.
We were playing the Giants at Phila
delphia in the early part of the 1910
season, and the game had progressed
along until the eighth initing. with
the Giants leading, 1 to 0. The “Peer
less” Matty was pitching as no one
else could, and it looked like a shut
out for us. The last half of the eighth
inning came, with two out and Eddie
Grant on first base. Magee came up
and hit for two bases, putting Grant
on third and himself on second. Kitty
Bransfield was the next hitter, and,
as he was always pretty successful
against Mathewson, it looked good to
us fellows on the bench, and we were
making all kinds of fuss, when imag
ine our surprise when on the first
pitched ball Magee made a break for
third, just as if the 1 base weren’t oc
cupied at all. Chief Meyers, catch
ing for New York, was so taken by
surprise when ho saw Magee going
for third base that he, too, forgot
about the base being occupied, and
fired the ball to Devlin, at third, to
catch Magee. In the meantime Grant
caught a glimpse of Magee coming,
and raced off of third a few feet when
he saw Meyers throw’ the ball, and at
the same time yelled to Magee,
“Where are you going?” Devlin, see
ing Grant had gotten away from him,
and Magee actually had beat Meyers
throw by a dandy fall-away slide,
started after Grant with the ball
They ran him up and down the third
base line, and Meyers finally hit him
on the shoulder with the ball, and
both Grant and Magee scored when
the ball rolled almost to our bench,
winning the game, as there w r as noth
ing doing for the Giants in their half
of the ninth. You might call this
8 bonehead play. Magee said it was
a trick play, but wjiat Charlie Dooin
said about it—well, w r e are not al
lowed to print It.
• • •
THK season of 1911 opened rosy for
* the Phillies, and we got away to
a gcod*lead. I whs being used in the
role of pinch hitter the first few weeks
of the season, and I will try to tell
you about the longest single I ever
ma<? We were playing in Boston
aloriy some time the first of May, and
it was very cold. Earl Moore was
pitching for us, and the game had
gone along for seven innings, .with
the* score 5 and 5. The first half of
the eighth inning found us with three
men on the bases, one out and the
score tied, with Moore, the pitcher,
coming to bat. Dooin, who was on
first base, gave his usual pinch hit
ting sign—that of swinging an Imag
inary bat—and I grabbed my stick
and started for the plate. Sam Frock
was pitching for Boston, and 1 was
so cold from sitting on the bench so
long that I could scarcely get my bat
to swinging while going up to the
plate. I took one ball and one strike,
and then swung on the next one. The
ball sailed out on a line tow’ard the
left field screen, and I started for
first at full speed, figuring on taking
two, and maybe three, bases on the
hit. I rounded first and dug for sec-
cond; when within about ten or fif
teen feet of this base I heard sr
one holler, “Where are you goln^
I looked up, and discovered that I had
Just passed Dooin. I immediately
scampered back to first as fast as I
could. It seems that Dooin thought
the fielder was going to catch the
ball, while the fact of the matter is
that he never had a chance to get it.
as it hit twenty feet high on the left
field screen. The other two runners
had scored without even hesitating,
while I was held to a single on what
should have been a two, or possibly
three, base hit.
AFTER joining the Nashville club in
midseason in 1911, 1 witnessed
about as weird an •exhibition of
throwing the ball away as it would
be possible to see without the thing
being prearranged. We were play
ing the Mobile club, and the game
was about an even affair up to this
time. Julius ("Doc”) Wiseman, who
was rounding out his eleventh con
secutive season—and, Incidentally his
last—with the Nashville club, came to
bat with no one on bases. He hit a
sharp bounder to the shortstop, who,
in his hurry to get the runner, threw
the ball over “Swat” Swacina’s head,
at first. The stands are very close at
Nashville, and the ball hit the stand
and rebounded to Swacina, who threw
in the direction of second base to
head “Doc” off. The ball went to
left field, and “Doc” kept on going
for third. ‘The left fielder grabbed
the sphere and cut it loose for third,
where George Rohe allowed the ball
to get through his legs, and Wiseman
kept on going for the plate. The ball
again bounded off of the stands, and
Rohe grabbed it and threw it twenty
feet over the catcher’s head, up
against the screen, >jn his effort to
head the runner off at the plate.
Wiseman landed on the bench com
pletely winded, as he had slid at sec
ond, third and home. After getting a
drink and his breath, he exclaimed:
“I am glad you don’t have to keep
on running in this league until me-
one puts you out!”
* • •
T HE same season, we were playing
in Mobile, and I will take blame
for pulling as neat a little bone as
you would wish to see on any ball
field. We were having a hard-fought
game, and for seven innings the score
stood 1 and 1. I was the first batter
up in the first half of the eighth in
ning, and cracked out a dandy two-
base hit. The next batter sacrificed
me to third, and it looked like dollars
to doughnuts that we would si*ore,
for Red Smith, now with the Brook
lyn club, was next up. He was a
good batter and long on pinch hitting
But the best of them fall down once
in a while, and as it happened Smith
hit a high foul right close to the left
field bleachers, and Rohe, the third
baseman, rushejl over and captured it
easily. As soon as the ball was caught,
I dashed offlfc'of third a few feet for a
bluff, thinking possibly Rohe would
throw the ball home, as there Is al
ways a chance for a wild heave in a
case of this kind. I had no possible
chance of scoring on the play unless
he did do something of this kind, and
I didn’t have any intention of trying
under any other circumstances. I
drew' the throw, all right, but not to
home. It was to third base, and Dee
Walsh put the ball neatly but gently
on my foot as I slid back into third,
and I was declared out for the third
out of the inning Walsh had started
after the ball the same time Rohe
did, J>ut, fleeing he could not get to it.
had stopped ut third base for just
such a play.
It was a smart piece of work on
Walsh’s part, as it showed some quick
thinking, but it was a rank one on
me. We went ten innings, and lost
the game. 2 to 1, which still made it
worse, as those kind of plays are
overlooked when you win. but other
wise, never. If you believe differ
ently, ask one Fred Merkle.
