A Case of Double Bonehead

THE fact that ball player is attacked with spell of
= bOnehead occasionally does not necessarily
that such condition is chronic. Some of the most in
teectual men in the game make breaks of that kind
and that what makes 1T hard to understand. Dis
gust will often bring attack of bonehead In fact
of the star bonehead plays of baseball have been
the result of players becoming disguised with themselves
at failures in pinch. An incident of this kind is told
on Dan OLeary, one of the most famous players the
game has ever produced.
OLeary was proud of his ability as a hitter and he
goried in the opportunity to to bat with
bases. He was playing on the Manchester New Hamp-

game sided.) Lowell the opposing team and

got three on bases with two out. Dan O'Leary

looked forward to for long time. long single would
two and win the game. One would tie it.
Dan set himself for his swing and missed the first
strikes. The next ball pitched out curve, and
OLeary it coming. He made vicious swing the
ball; but missed it by fully foot.
Three strikes!" yelled the umpire. and OI-eary
looked around to discover that the ball had struck the
catcher the side of his glove and had bounded away
toward the grandstand While the catcher chasing
the ball of the Manchester dashed
By last desperate effort the catcher grabbed
the ball and preparing to throw to first base to
stop O'Leary If possible; but imagine his surprise
when he found OLeary standing his side with his
bat still in his hand! He had made attempt to go
to first.

catcher in utter disgust Struck with the bases

OF course the catcher touched him, and he de-
