COSTLY WILD PITCHES.
More Than One Pennant Lost Because
of Wild HeaVe-clarkson Lost One.

If YOU were baseball player and
played with a team that led in the
race most Of the time and then lost
the championship on a wild pitch in
the last and deciding game of the
season you'd feel pretty sore, wouldn't
you? The death OF John GARRISON
recalls the fact that not only have at
feast three league pennants been lost
on al single wild pitch. but that once a
miscue of that kind by a pitcher cost
his club the worlds championship.
It was in 1886, when the Chicago
Nationals and st. Louis Americans
battled in the worlds series that this
occurred. Clarkson pitched the last
and which proved the deciding game
for Chicago, and st. Louis scored the
winning run on wild pitch made by
John.
DR.. Rushong, the brainy catcher of
the Browns, now dead, was at bat
with Curt Welch on third base. Clark
son let loose a wild pitch which got by
Mike Kelly, and WEIGH scampered
home with the run that won st. Louis
the worlds championship.
The old timers remember how the
Athletics won the championship in
1888 on wild pitch. 1t was in the
last game of the season. The Athlet-
les needed one more victory to insure
them the pennant. They wound up the
season at Louisville with a series OF
four games.
The Louisville players, spurred on by
offers of big money from Chris Won
der Are. whose st. Louis Browns had
chance to tie the Athletics, tried all
they knew how to earn the cash prom

straight games from the Philadelphi-
ans. The Athletics had played them
selves out and were sadly crippled

HERE'S CONTROL FOR you.
Tony Mullance Could Curve a Ball
Around Batter's Body.

Fred Pfeffer, himself one OF the
best players that ever walked on the
diamond, says there never was a
pitcher who could equal John Clark
son in the matter of control. Pfeffer
declares that Clarkson always could
put the ball exactly where he wished
to. He may be right but long ago there
was a player in Philadelphia, named
Ferguson, pitcher. second baseman,
a peer. Ferguson, just to show his
control. was in the habit Of standing
a bat up on the home plate. Taking

that the committee rad found the team
