A Queer Play in Baseball.

Here is a play in baseball that hap
pened long ago. Perhaps it never will
happen again. Did any one ever hear
of a base runner scoring from first
base on a line drive that was caught
by third baseman and when the ball
never left the third baseman's hand?
The play happened in this way: Andy
Moynihan was playing third base for
the Pastimes Of Chicago in 1868 when
tournament was held. The Occiden-
tails of Peoria were the opposing team.
In the first inning, with a runner on
first, the batter drove liner straight
over third. Moynihan showed up his
hand, the ball struck it and stuck fast
in the hand. The crowd cheered. An
instant later they saw something was
wrong. Moynihan, writhing with pain,
was running around third base. The
base runner at first saw something was
the matter and ran down to second.
Then he ran to third and finally trotted
home unmolested.
The trouble was that the ball, strik-
Ing Moynihan's hand. paralyzed the
nerves. The ball was stuck tight in
his hand 1t was FIVE minutes before
his fellow players could pry his fingers
open and get the ball out.--Chicago
Tribune.
