ball, and Callahan started TO come
out at top speed heard him coming
and yelled three or four times to him
that | had it, but | could hear him
still pounding along at top speed. Tn
runners all held their bases, kacwin::
that with my arm I could throw OFT
the man at the plate after catching
the ball. WE'LL didn't catch It. !
backed up a bit, mufred it, and it
rolled perhaps five feet back OF me,
ana all the runners started to move
up at top speed. I thought | could
get up the ball and shoot to second
base in time to force out the runner
coming from first, so | turned,
grabbed the ball and cut loose for
second at full speed. Callahan's
head was in the way not ten feet frSni
me. l hit him squarely ON tbs sop OF
the head, the ball shot on his bean
down under the r2pes between third
base and the left fielder. four runs
scored aud we were beaten,
You could hear Arson praising that
play clear to Chicago, and | lodged
the bench until the game was over.
The play ended my career as an out
helder and changed my opinions re.
garding playing other positions.
