‘BONERS I HAVE PULLED”
—No. B.
AS TOLD TO BILL BAILY BY
FRANK CHANCE.
T HIS was back in the good old
days when the Cubs would
grab a war club, a fungo stick
or anything else that happened to be
lying about, walk to the plate and
malm an inflelder or chase an out
fielder into exhaustion.
There never was a bunch like that
and there never will be. They had a
better idea of what a baseball bat was
turned out for than any crew that
ever got on a field, and I never figured
they could do anything to get me in
bad.
But they did and the worst boner I
ever pulled was when I let them con
vince me that the Irish on the club
could play the Germans for the cham
pionship of the squad and schedule
the game for St Patrick's Day.
But 1 would have got away with
even that if it hadn't been for a
young catcher named Afthur Evans.
He undoubtedly was a type. We were
training in Vicksburg. Miss., and the
first day we reached the field he dis
appeared. I started a search and dis
covered him burying his lone ring in
the soil underneath the grandstand.
When I asked him why, he told me he
wasn't going to trust it to the hotel
clerk.
• • •
T HE next day we had batting prac
tice and 1 had him back of the
plate. He was all rigged out with his
chest protector and mask on and aft
er a fierce session I let him rest. He
Just sut down on the ground near the
squad pulled out a little meerschaum
pipe that was his constant compan
ion. and began to smoke. II was the
first time I ever saw a ball player
smoke a pipe while w earing a mask.
I merely tell you these things that
you may see what kind of a fellow
Evans was, for he figures later.
Well, Evers and Schulte and some
of the fellows got to arguing about
whether an Irishman or a German
made the better hall player, and it
wound up in the usual way—a dare, a
bet and the game was on. There was
considerable more argument and they
asked me if they could play on St.
Patrick's Day. I gave them permis
sion and Evers took charge of the
Irish team, while Schulte and Hof-
man managed the Germans.
• « *
P EOPLE who suddenly come Into a
Jot of money and need a family
tree should place any member of this
trio on the job. If a member of our
squad looked a promising ball player,
Evers could prove that there was
Irish blood in him. while Schulte and
Hofman were just as certain to prove
that he possessed a Teutonic strain.
They w'ere so keen that if a fellow’
confessed that he had played with a
German doll when he was a kid he
was Immediately made a member of
the Dutch team. •
Well, they finally got their teams
arranged and then the tight began.
The members of the Irish team wore
shamrocks, and the Germans, wishing
to add more fuel to the flames, got a
lot of orange bunting and decorated
the stand. The game started after
this was torn down, and. of course,
everyone was fighting mad.
* * *
L UNDGREN pitched for the Ger
mans. and since Kling hadn’t re
ported, for it was still early, Schulte
and Hofman were compelled to rely
upon thi3 same Evans. The Germans
were away to a running start, mauled
the Irish pitcher.® chased the Irish
outfielders, wounded the Irish infield
ers with line drives and taunts, and it
prrifiised. to be a most unhappy St.
Patrick’s Day for the Irish.
That lantern jaw of Evers was
wagging in a w'ay to sidetrack any
train, and he was rallying hia man.
cussing the Germans, kicking on the
decisions of the umpire and generally
running true to form. I was enjoying
it very much, for I couldn’t partici
pate. being decidedly neutral in this
combat as well as compelled to re
main idle because of a sore foot.
Every now and then I had serious
doubts about whether I had been wie*
in permitting the game, but it was so
funny that they*always disappeared
with a big laugh.
* * *
F INALLY came the nin/h and a bl£
Irish rally. They gave Lundy a.
touch of high life, and Schulte and.
Hofman were alternating in going to
the fences after line drives. Lundgrem
settled finally, retired two men and.
had a strike on the batter, with Ever*
standing on third, ready to com*
across with the run that would tie.
Bedlam reigned, everybody talking,
shouting, howling, swearing, threat
ening. Lundy wound up, let go of the
pitch, and the batter took a strong,
healthy sw ing and missed.
Then this Evans slowly rolled the
ball to the pitcher. Evers, away like
a flash, tore for the plate as if it
meant the world's championship, went,
into it like a ton of brick and knocked
Evans head over heels.
“Safe!” howled the ump and th*
score was tied.
And what had gone before wan but
a gentle zephyr. The Germans sworn
that the Irish had palmed off one of
their nationality as a German catcher
and that they really had ten men in
the game.
• * *
T HE Irish retorted that, the way
Evans played the ball proved him
a Teuton. They raged and they
talked and they were willing to bet a
million of another game could . be
played.
But I was right there with the veto
and 1 sent them all to the field akd
started a batting practice. When it
was ail over they were so tired that
their anger had faded; but never
again was there a ball game between
the Irish and the Germans on St.
Patrick’s Day.
