When Buddie Yancy negotiated the
last bilateral section of the quadrangle
and spiked out subway right into
the heart of the home plate, before
Nick Harnish could bump him with the

Joy unless there were a cessation of

heard shouting above the din stop de
game, me gallus has gone wrong"
This last maneuver on the part of
the giant outrider was the crown jewel
in the rarest collection of diamond
gems ever clustered into one gorgeous
ensemble in Savannah.
The rarest motion picture possible
was pulled off in view by Yancy, and
the first real frantic roofing of the
season shook grand stand and bleach
ers. This one daredevil bit of base
swiping was in the fifth and it will go
on record in this league as unheard of

to safety the straining sprinter heard
the ball PUNK into the mitt. The mitt
was at Harnish's shoulder. Time and

the plate where hurting slide would
land the human torpedo.
Quicker than thought the big fellow,
with outstretched hand. was in the
dirt ploughing his big body almost be-
meath Harnishs feet. His great form
stopped just as his outstretched hand
felt the Glad Gum and almost at the
same instant he felt the singing tag
of the horsehide on his shoulder. Safe
by the smallest fraction of a second.
Yancy starred all the way through,

admiring fans was more than earned.
