h0LYCR0SS AND
CRANCLE BATTEO
AFTER TWO WERE OUT
PITCHERS ON THE BENCH WERE
CALLED ON TO WIN THE
GAME AND THEY
DID.

Hughes on second base Richards, sec
ond baseman for the Cairo team
started for the plate bat in hand, de-
termined to, do his best. Holycross,
the iron man pitcher Of the Champi-
ons, who was on the bench, was heard
to remark Il wish they'd let me bat,
believe | could win the game
The remark was heard and needed
Richards was recalled and cheerfully
responded. Holycross stepped to the
plate. "One strike" called the UNI
pire.
The fans were rising to leave the
park believing the game was won by
the visitors. HoIycross watched for
the next one and swaying slightly to
and fro, he waited. It came and went
not from, catcher to pitcher. but
from the bat in Holycross's hands to
the left field fence. Holycross went
also--to second base - Dummy
Hughes crossing the home plate and
tying the score. Crangle. a Vincennes
CASTOR, now developed into one of
the best pitchers and hitters in the
league--was then called to bat and
with a safe little bingle he made ii
possible for Holycross to score the
winning run
1t was close call and the fans
wouldn't have bet the hole in dough
nut against good T. S. money thai
Cairo would win.
Sending Holycross and Crangle to
bat at the critical time was wise
move and Captain Rutledge deserves
much credit for his foresight.
