location of his right clavicle and incidental
ly depriving him of the credit of making
home run. Two men were on the bases
when O'Brien came to the bat in the sixth.

off first base and he sent the runners away
when OBrien met an inshoot and shipped
the ball to center. 1t looked If Bernard
would knock it down, but the sphere
bounced badly and went past the Toledo
center fielder. O'Brien turned to the right
before reaching first in order to make the
turn for the run around the circuit. Tam
sett started across the diamond to coach
the other runners and O'Brien and Tam
sett collided.

instant they were Knocked out. Tamsett
recovered quickly, and without waiting TO
ascertain the extent OF y Brien'S injuries

the base so that he could not be put out.

that he was badly hurt Physicians were
summoned and they worked with him near
ly five minutes before they restored him
to consciousness. The force of the collision

base hit. Woodruff was substituted to run
for OBrien and he also filled O'Briens
place at short during the remainder OF the
game.
