During the exciting days that followed this tragedy

smothered. The chairnen admitted seriously that
they might well have closed their offices for a

Frank Hitchcock. chairman of the Republican
committee, with headquarters in New York, tells
amusing story in this connection:
Congressman had just come in from Iowa and
had to wait sometime in the anteroom before he
could talk to the chairman. He spent the time read

Story of Merk1e's Crime"
AHERkLE'S baseball crime though it threw the
IVA entire East in despair, brought out something
entirely new in baseball, and incidentally gave the
baseball world inside look at the remarkable
mind of Frank Chance manager of the Chicago Cubs.
The incident occurred in the ninth inning of hard
fought game between New York and Chicago After
two batters had been retired and there a
made good by driving out safe hit This placed a
on third and one first. Only
needed to win. Bridwell, the next batter promptly
smashed clean hit into centerfeld, and the runner
third trotted across the plate with the winning
run. The crowd thinking the game over, rushed on
the field.
Merk1e who had been first, thought likewise
and started for the clubhouse. He did not go to
second. The rules of baseball require the runner
first go to second safe hit to complete the play.
In other words he forced off first and though it
formality he should have advanced one
base Then the game would have been over. 1t was
not question of his ability to do SO; for he could
have walked and had ample time.
He did not do So however and then came the
quick thinking of Manager Chance. He gave the
signal to Evers, the second baseman, who immedi-
atey yelled to Hoffman, the center fielder, to throw
the ball to second. This was finally done amid great
confusion. Many assert that the ball never reached
second several of the players had left the field
and the crowd interfered. Anyway the umpres de-
cided that Merlsle had touched the bag he
out, and that retired the side the did not
count. This made the game tie, and it had to be
played over In the play-off Chicago
By this act of quick thinking Manager Chance
won the pennant for his club If the had counted,
the Giants would have had the championship. In
fash he upset of the oldest in baseball

Never mind the cost " he said; :" we must have that
mani Then, to the amazement of the baseball
world, deal was contaminated by which Brooklyn
got four good players for the Chicago

what is needed is cheap at any price. He then set
Brooklyn in the deal. He wanted Stenfeldt of Gin

regarded as calamity by Cincinnati. There
many players, however who wonders with

loser; Chance knew this, and when he got Stein
feldt's name to Chicago contract he was happy.
Those two men filled the gaps in Chicago's club
and the road to the championship certain as
quality of material could make it. Chance had
proved himself a winning manager at one stroke.
While Chance is popular with his players, because
he always stands by them, there is not the same
kind of affection between them the Giants have
he resort to harsh methods but at the time he
does not fraternze with his players and perpetrate
practical jokes upon them does McGraw. He
has more dignity and reserve than McGraw; but at
all times is absolutely fair and impartial with his
men. His players know that they can always depend
upon him.
Chance and McGraw at the Game
DURING game Chance will sit on the bench and
- figure a play for sometime before he issues
orders for its execution On the other hand McGraw
is likely to be standing the coaching line when
daring idea will suggest itself to him. Without a
moments warning he will start spectacular play
feet and gets the players completely ratified
One day in Pittsburgh, McGraw the first
base coaching line talking to Sammy Strang, who
was base runner at first. Sammy had made several
fents at starting for second and had the pitcher
puzzled.
Mac, I'm going to pull new one here, Sammy
whispered to the manager. / think I'll start after
the catcher gets the ball.
1t sounded like foolish move as the game was
close; but the quick witted and daring Mc(,raw saw
a chance to spring surprise.
Pull it, Sammy he said. You might get away
with it,
Strang made another fent as if to start to second;
but the pitcher didn't worry about him this and
threw the ball to the catcher. McGraw had signaed
to the batter not to strike at the ball.
The catcher, thinking that Strang would not start.
made motion as if about to toss the ball back to the
pitcher. Then to the amazement of players and
spectators, Strang dashed toward second. The
catcher dumbfounded that Strang had COW
cred half the distance before he could start make
the long throw. The second baseman and shortstop
also disconnected that neither of them to
cover second. The ball went rolling into the out
field, and Strang all the way to third. 1t
brilliant move, and proved the origin of what
known in the game as the delayed steal" 1t has
developed into of the most successful base steal

public standpoint, undesirable, are per-

is so far as possible to provide such
conditions that there shall be equality
of energy, fidelity, and intelligence;
when there is reasonable equality of
opportunity the distributor of rewards
will take care of itself.

Rener is charged with keeping a

claimed that he did not know the men

and others were playing with Shumate
at a rear table and Shumate seemed
to have it all his way, getting some

John was drunk in the several
various ways, but cocaine and dollar

that he did not know whether to be
vicious, to be friendly and make pres
