BASE BALL GOSSIP.

A local player says he has discover
ed a new play now that they are so
popular. ills idea is to put a sharp
spike near the end of his bat. He will
hit the ball so that it will stick. and
he can then outrun it to first by car
rying his bat part of the way with
him. Great scheme!
They tells a good story on Umpire
Derrick. Last year, when the Seals
were playing Seattle, Parke Wilson
got on his high horse and became so
offensive that Derrick gave him a
minute to get off the field. Derrick
pulled his watch and it was not run
ming. He covered the face of it at
once, however, and Parke trailed to
the bench.
There have been many queer plays
pulled off on thed iamond and every
year brings out new one, but the
most unique of all was brought about
during the recent series with the Gin
cinnati Reds batter having struck
out was thrown out at first by the
third baseman. Can you beat it? 1t
happened thus: Wiltse had struck at
the ball three times The last one was
really a tip foul, and struck Schlei on
his shins, but the umpire did not hear
it on account of his ear-muffs. The
ball rolled in front of the plate, and,
thinking it a foul, Schlei threw it to
third, as is usually done when fouls
are hit To the establishment of ev-
erybody the umpire called it a strike, -
and Kane threw the ball over to first
and iWltse was out. That is the first
time on record that a third baseman
ever got an assist on strikeout.
