Spelling of Fine Trick

DOWN at Baltimore many years ago;
- when the Orioles were defeating all
corners, some new and unexpected trick
was tried nearly every day. The
Baltimore club was made up of a lot of
quick wits, and it was on account of
their ability to think and act stimuli
taneOusly that so many pennants were
won. On that team were MCGraw,
Keller, Jennings, Kelley, and Robinson.
They did many wonderful things, and
in baseball to-day the Orioles are re-
garded as the greatest team of players
the game has ever known. There was
one man on that team, however, who
was constant thorn in the side of the
men who thought and acted quickly.
His name was Walter Brodie. He was
an excellent fielder, a crack hitter,
and fast base runner; but at times
he did not think in harmony with the
Others.
One afternoon Baltimore was playing
with Boston. her most bitter rival. The
score was tied, and the game had gone
into extra innings. 1t was also growing
dark.
Boston got a man on first base and
the next batter was noted for his
heavy hitting the Baltimore Outfield

went over to BrOdle IN center and
suggested that they try the planted
ball trick. Keller explained that he
would place an extra baseball in the
grass between him and Brodie and that
in case the batter hit one through that
territory he would make a feint at
stopping the real ball. If he failed, he
was to dive for it and roll over in the
grass. In doing so he would come up
with the planted ball and let the other
one go. He could then throw the
planted ball in and head off the run
ner. He figured that in the growing
darkness the Boston team and the spectators

This was all carefully explained to Brodie,
scnted to the scheme.
