Frank McNichOlS
Staged Freak Play

CHICAGO. Dec. &.-There have been
q lot Of stories written about the freak
plays of Ty Cobb and other stars. but
nothing they ever did in that line
compares with the feat Of Frank Nc
Nichols. Jimmy Callahan told Of it
Cal was one day playing short for
the Logan Squares with McNichols on
first. Owens was umpiring In the CEN
ter of the diamond and had unwilling
ly dropped a ball. Chick Fraser, who
y leB pitching, sent a fast one to the
batter. He hit it. The ball jumped
by Fraser on the ground. and hit the
lost ball behind the box. The hit ball
jumped to Callahan at short. and the
other ball went to third, where the
player there corralled it. Both .fielders
tossed fiercely to first base, where
Frank Nichols was stationed. Cal
lahans throw was wide and to the
right of the first baseman. The third
the left Of the playing line. McNichols
got them both. 3.

not only be a half dozen Of that kind
Of plays next season at the South

of Rain.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Dec. 2s.-The
American Association playing schedule
for 1912 will be of 154 games. opening
May 1 and closing about October l. The
magnates have tried the l6s-game
schedule and do not want 1t again.
Last year the season optned April Il
and for the first two weeks most of
the games were postponed on account
OF snow or rain. Climate in this part
Of the country is not conducive to long
schedules.
The postponement Of SO many games
right at the start of the campaign re-
suited in loss of interest in several cit
les Of the circuit and the fans did not
get warmed up to the battle until after
July 4. At the end of the season SO
many double-headers were made neces-
sary by the earlier postponements that
the players and fans alike were sick OF
the national game when the curtain was
rng down.

teams to make their first trip West
