FREAK PLAYS
THAT WON GAMES
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON.


Once upon a time there was baseball
bug down in Cincinnati who figured out
that there were II .297 424 possible plays
in base ball This. of course. was counting
only straight and combination plays and
taking no account of the different kinds
of fly hits and grounders. which all are
different. He proved It conclusively and
the next day the team made one that
wasn't on his list.
Every play. every throw. every hit IL
tional game, and there are freaks in the
game that make even the case-hardened
regular sit up and yelp with surprise and
Joy.
An odd play came up in a game between
Detroit and Comiskey's team o few years
ago. Harvey. once pitcher. was put at
third base for Detroit. Harvey could hit,
but he couldn't field much. and the COM
plications Of infield play were too much
for him. White Stockings were on first
and second with none out, and Detroit
decided to make a play which is common
enough when bnnt Is expected. The third
baseman was to play In close an X for
the bunt, the second baseman and short
stop were to hold the runner close to Sec
baseman was to turn and cover third quick
iy, the first baseman or the pitcher getting
the bali, and throwing the runner out at
third.
Harvey knew tho play. When Holmes
hunted Harvey turned ike q Fash and
dashed back toward third. II happened
that the hit was = short pop ny straight
at Harvey. whose back, Of course. was
turned. The bali struck him on the top
Of the head. bounded mp. and Harvey. with-
out turning caught # and then whirlink

Athletics Easy Week.

On the basis OF previous performances
this week should be a good one for the
Athletics. Up to date the Athletics have
won OF the IL games played with De-
troit and captured all five played with ST.
Louis In the same time the Clevelanders
have won 3 of the I games played with
New York. Should the same relative per-
centage OF victories be maintained. the
Athletics should have a comfortable lead
when the next analysis of the dope ia
made on Monday. But in sizing up the
possibilities OF the week II must be re-
membered that the Clevelanders have not
been going the line at the gait they show
ed on their first trip while on the other
hand. the New Workers are playing bet
ter. The worst the HIghlanders should
look for in the coming series with the
CleYelanders is an even break. II the Ath-
letics could win five OF the seven games
they are carded to play between now and
Saturday they would start west with a
commanding lead. This is a good deal to
expect IN view Of the splendid ball that
the westerners are playing. but with their
pitchers going good II is well within the
range OF probability.

Last Week Was Warm.

Last week was a warm one for the con-
tenders In the American League race. Last
Monday morning the Athletics led in the
race with percentage of .614: this morn
ing they are tied with New York for that
honor. each having percentage of .6l3.
Cleveland lost ground in that time, win
ming three of the six games played. ana
falling of from 600 to .592-a loss OF eight
points, In the same time the Chcagos
moro than held their own, advancing from
.55I to -55S, making Il total gain of nine
points on the Clevelanders during the week.
The other western clubs also showed i'm
provement, Detroit jumping five points,
from 81 to .526. while st. Louis gained
thirteen-advancing from one game under
the 800 mark to one game over, or Is
points. The Nationals showed u net loss
OF two points, while the storm-tossed Bos-
tons went ten points % the bad.

Western Clubs Gained.

There Is no getting away from the logic
OF the figures. It is up to the Athletics
md the New Workers to extend themselves
TO the limit II the championship is to re-
main in the eastern country. The west
ern clubs collectively made a net gain or
eleven points, while the eastern teams
show net loss of nine points. OF course,
the bulk OF the latter loss is due entirely
10 the inability of Boston to make any
sort of showing against the westerners,
hut II ell counts in the percentage. The
result Of the games TO be played this week
Will have an important bearing upon the
outcome of the race. Today the Athletics
close up the series with Detroit. St Louis
opens there tomorrow for four scheduled
games and one postponed, Chicago opening
up on Saturday While the Athletics are
playing the Browns the Clevelanders will
be mixing II up with the New Workers the
Chicagos Will be playing our Nationals and

shelves OF the world are largely bare

Consumption VS.. Under.psoductlon.
