go, pitched excellent ball. except In
the locally disastrous eighth, and
the holocaust of that inning was by
no means entirely his fault.
The day was bright and the wea-
Their of the Indian summer variety.
Ground rules, as usual, were neces-
sary. Philadelphia took the lead at
the outset when HartZel, who went
to left while Lord. played center in
place of Strunk, singled. The Phila-
delphians present cheered, for that
was exactly the reason that "Topsy"
was played instead of Strunk. He
stole second while Lord was striking
out and brought in the first run
when Collins hit TO center for one
base. Brown struck out Lord and
Davis in this inning.
Chicago Came Back.
Chicago came right back in the
second when Chance doubled to left,
took third on a sacrifice, and scored
when Steinfeldt delivered a belated
hit.
In the third and fourth stanZas,
the Philadelphians were not threat
ening, but Coombs did some stellar
pitching to save himself from trou-
BILE in ChicagO's half of the fourth.
Two hits and a pass had filled the
bases, with one out, but the young
Philadelphia, settling to his work,
famed the always-to-be-feared Tin
ker and Archer.
The Fasteners assumed the lead
in the fifth and were never headed
thereafter. Steinfeldt's tumble gave
Murphy life at first. Barry sacri-
feed and Lapp, who donned the
catcher's mitt in place of Thomas,
sent him home with a single.
Cubs Go to Pieces.
The Chicago team went to pieces
III the eighth. Brown held COOmbs
too lightly and the latter singled
but following which Collins raped
out another two-bagger and Lord
crossed the plate. Collins, taking
advantage of the confusion in the
Chicago camp, stole third, but was
out at the plate when Baker hit
weakly to Zimmerman. Davis was
allowed to walk, placing runners on
first and second. Then Chicago blew
up. Murphy singled to center and
Baker scored from second. Davis
was at Bakers heels and Holman,
who retrieved the hit, threw a block
away from Archer and Davis scored.
Murphy had reached second and
stopped, but Umpire O'Day invited
him to take another base under the
ground rules. Hofman's wild heave
having bumped the grandstand. Just
to top off the farce. Brown delivered
wild pitch and Murphy came home.
A moment later Brown gave Barry
base on balls. but Lapp ended the
hilarity with an easy grounder.

The blue ribbon apple is of the
Wolf River variety and from the X

The apple in question weighs 40

1t is true that Clarke must choose

HOME RUN BUNT.
Unique Play That Was Pulled of In

This Southern league furnishes q
story OF a home run bunt that won
game. Il seems that there was a man
on first and that the batter was in
structed to lay down a hunt. He put
a roller toward third, the first base
man was drawn in, and the second
baseman covered first. The third base
man threw TO first. Everybody saw
the ball on the way. 1t hit the base
mans glove and-disappeared. When
the hunt for the ball began the first
runner was hugging second. while the

man to run ahead of him home with
the winning runs. Everybody thought
the ball was lost IN the grass, and
finally 1t was found In right field How
ii got there was a mystery until the
man who hit the bunt explained. Il
appears that the ball bounced from the
second baseman's glove and bounded
up under the runners arm as he

It is therefore not strange that two
such teams should have furnished

For instance, there are McGraw. a

and Joe Kelley. three OF the men who
were foremost during the days Of the
old Baltimore team. Then there are
Wilbert Robinson and Bill Clarke Of
the same team, both Of whom have
shown managerial ability. Jack Doyle
was another who proved himself a
leader.
The Cleveland team also furnished
its share. Patsy Tebeau rose from the
