i. GREATEST PLAY EVER SAW l
 i. 1

By Jack Bliss.

There are great plays and great players-I have seen Frank Schulte leap, grab line drive with one hand against screen and after the ball had driven his hand through the screen jerk il out and throw home. have seen Miller Huggins slide on his ear and stab, one-hand. ed, line drives going through There are all sorts of great plays, but when one is made that combines nerve. quiCkness, courage, brains great to my way of thinking.
 IL was that kind of a play made by Konetchy on the Boston grounds, that believe was the greatest l ever saw. He took chances on his life, and. on the game. to win it, and made the only play that could have saved Us. | don't recall all the cir CumstanccS connected with the play l remember that the score was tied late in the game and that Mattern had been giving us a lot of trouble while they were pecking away al our pitcher and threatening to win almost every inning. Both sides had done their scoring early and we were sticking to that one run lead desperately, as We figured on the way they were hitting and We were not, that if they ever tied us the chances were they would beat us out.
 l do not remember whether it was ill the seventh or eighth inning, al though that makes little difference. when they got men on first and third bases with one out. cant even recall who was at bat, but know We didn't figure him hard nit ter.
 Did you ever notice how often those fellows you don't figure on to hit hard break up game? We'll, this one came mighty near it. had signaled for a curve and the ball broke over the outside corner fast and perfect. This dub batter tooA a swing and thought We had him struck out. We hadn't He hit that ball almost over the inside corner of first base as if he had shot it out Of cannon. It was going SO fast that it didn't seem possible for konetchy 10 reach it. The biz :el- low, however, was moving with the ball and by a hard effort he reached it near the foul line and about fifteen feet back of first base, and reached it on the fly with his mitt stuck down against the ground while he was diving after the ball. The ball stuck there, the runner on first base saw it stick, and came diving back to first to escape being doubled In his effort 10 catch the ball kOney had turned entirely over. He got half way mp and tried to dive clear to first base before the runner got back That was impossible. He dived and fell short, and by that time tne runner on third had retouched the bag and was coming home at top speed. With kOney stretched on the ground it looked all over but the shouting, but the big fellow hadn't lost his head. He rolled over, sat up, and while sitting on the ground fired the ball home like a shot, beat ing the runner ten feet, and the dou- ble play ended the inning and say ed us. And the crowd instead of appreciating what marvellous play the big fellow had pulled, yelled tough luck"
