Fatalities on the Ball Field.

July was a day of fatalities on the
ball field. While pitching for an In
dependent team at Midlothian, Tex,
Charles Harrington, who was recently
released by the Dallas club, of the
Texas League, was struck in the
stomach by batted ball. He recov-
cred it. retired the batsman at first
base and had resumed his position
preparatory to pitching when he fell
dead. Hubert Jones, aged IA, was hit
over the heart by foul at Belleville.
Ark. He kept his feet about ten sec
onds before he dropped dead. A 16-
year-old boy was killed at Cincinnati
by foul ball which struck him under
the right ear. The game at which
he was spectator was between anna
teur teams. At Michigan City, Ind, two
players, Ferdinand Seigmund and
Frank Browning, colliued. Seigmund's S
right leg was broken and he received
internal injuries which his physician
pronounced fatal. Browning was
badly injured. Many of the accidents
of the game can be avoided by the
exercise of caution. The pitcher is
alone in danger OF serious or fatal in
jury, winch IS not due to the neSn-
gence of himself or another member
of his team. 1t is out Of the question
for pitcher to eyade . line ball hit
sharply and directly at him, and he is
fortunate if he succeeds in breaking
its force with one OF his hands. I'm
less he is knocked unconscious a
pitcher will intu3tively attempt to
make the put out at first with the
ball which has injured him. The mask
and pad afford the catcher protection
for his face and body. but his throwing
hand or a leg is liable TO be disabled
every time a ball is pitched. Some
Of the catchers, who are regarded as
unlucky have themselves to blame for
many of the injuries which they re-
ceive.
