Columbus has been playing a hard,

HISTORIC BONES—V.
“Pop” Anderson’s Famous Steal.
IF YOU WILL BACK-TRACK far enough up the pathway of Time you
«11l reach a forgotten era when the Browns had a chance for the pennant.
Yes, it Is true. It is almost impossible to believe, but such is the case;
and it was in that moss-grown period that this incident occurred.
There was at tills time a first baseman on the St. Louis club known
as “Pop” Anderson. He was of now obsolete type. Ho disappeared with
Jake Beckley and Dan Brouthors. et al., when the squeeze play and the
hit-and-run from second base began to be the fashion in baseball.
Ho was built more as a. coast defense craft than a scout cruiser. As a
mental giant he stacked up marvelously when it came to keeping accurate
tabs on those who had borrowed a dime to buy a box of cigarettes, but.
though there were not many of these, most of his intellect was devoted
to this exercise at all times.
There came a day when the Browns were playing the Yankees. New
York was a run ahead. There was but one out, the bases full and Anderson
on first base wiht a dangerous hitter at bat. It Is understood that at this
time a teammate owed Anderson a quarter, and this may have had some
thing to do with the frenzy that seized him. It had also been years since
he had stolen a base, which may account for his considering this an op
portunity.
At any rate, before a bat could be swung to stay, he lowered his head
and dashed down to second. It was a clean steal, hut the fact that second
base was occupied led to a double play; and the Browns lost the game.
Just what Manager McAleer said on this occasion is not known. But
Anderson remarked that night that "McAleer was certainly getting cranky."
♦ * *
WHEN EVERS SIGNS up with the Federal League we will probably
hear a lot about how ungrateful he is.
« * *
IT IS INTERESTING to hear that Evers was canned not because he
didn't have a good team, but because he believed in paying ballplayers a
fraction of what they were worth. It costs a lot of money to "perpetuate
the great game to the American people." and very little of it can be squan
dered In salaries.
* • •
CHARLEY HERZOG WILL have practically a new team in Cincinnati
The same old directors will be on the job. however.
* * *
THE RULE OF THE Fight Commission against introductions from the
ring will work a distinct hardship on a lot of fighters who never appear
before the public at any other time.
• • *
WE NOTICE THERE IS no talk of placing a minor league club in St.
Louis, two being all one city can stand.
• ♦ ♦
REPORTERS ARE GETTING careless. One of them quotes Charley
Murphy as saying. "We have been talking too much," whereas everyone
knows Murphy believes it can't be done.
