New Yorker had swung wildly al his
curves he was stiH on the job. and ap-
apparently able 70 stick there until dooms-
day. During the afternoons festivities
Mr.. Smith struck out ten OF StalliHgs'
men. and allowed only four Dingles which
bore the slightest resemblance To hit
II may have been that President Taft
himself was responsible. The New York
ers were all keyed up 10 playing the game
Of their lives before the President Then,
az the late minute. some affairs Of state
got in the road, and before Big BIN could
get them Gntsngled the game was over.
All this time the New Workers were
saving up their swats 20 show 'em 10

had hops that the two bands would s1d-
denly strike up Nobody Loves Fat
Man. and that the President would ap-
pear and release their bingles. But he
never came. and so the Yanks never
really EOt started
But two OF the players showed up
splendidly. Engle made several nice
catches out in the field, and one that was
a wOrld-beater. A ground rule. on ac-
count Of the crowd. allowed only two
bases on a hit into the audience out In
left garden. With three men on bases
and only one out Street lifted a high one
right 10 the edge Of the fringe Of fans.
Engle took it on the run. jumped into
the air. got the bali 5ackhanded with his
left mitt. and then turneG several flip
flaps through the astOnlshed spectators
Nobody imagined he had held on %
the ban, but when he landed on his feet
he still had IL. and pushing through the
crowd he got back 10 the held in tine 10
relay the catcher in for another out. IL
was a great catch, one OF the greatest
ever seen on this or any other grounds
