But Anson was the perfect Judge of

Gumbert was trifie wild. and the first
two balls were wide. The third cut

Gumbert put that next ball over it

that he was expecting the pitch. He
didn't have his mask on, he wasn't in
position to catch, for he had been
standing three feet away from the
plate to distract Anson's attention.
Anson never got his bat off his
shoulder.

Connie just managed to bat the ball
down and touch the home plate, thus
retiring the man, who was on third.
Anson kicked and stormed for twen-

been out of the box, time wasn't called
and Gumbert had been in a legal po-
