One or the Famous Old outfielder's
sensatIonaI Catches

Sensational Catches.
The greatest individual feat ever
performed was one by which Bill
LANCE saved game for Chicago and
$500 for himself In Washington Ia
1895. There Is an odd story connected
with the play. Lange had missed a
train In Boston two days before, fall
ed to reach New York in time to play
there. and Arson had fined him 500.
Thereupon he missed train to Wash
ington- arrived on the grounds after
the teams had practiced and just In
time to play, and for that Anson fined
linn another 800. The game that aft
ernoon went eleven innings, Chicago
scoring one run Ia the eleventh. There
were two men ont and runner on
the bases when "Kip" Selbach, then
one OF the hardest hitters IN the bust
ness, smote The ball terrific blow and
sent 1t flying over Lange's head to-
ward the center field fence The hit
seemed sure home run, but LANCE q
man weighing 225 pounds, turned and
without looking sprinted desperately
straight out toward the fence, racing
with the flying ball. At the last in
slant, as the ball was going over bis
head, LANCE leaped, stuck up both
hands, turned a somersault and crash
IA against the fence. The boards spIin-
tered, one entire panel crashed out
ward. and out Of the wreckage erawled
LANCE holding the ball IN his hand,
and the crowd went mad LANCE came
Iimping IN, with the crowd standing on
seats shouting, and he said TO Arson.
"Fines 90. Capri Nope, said Arson.

was Of the old style. consisting of all
tefnate layers of large and small
stones, gravel, etc, and of cementi-
