Kidnappers Are Fooled.

Atlantic, July 31.-Special: At the
point of a revolver, Ray Bowes, the
10-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. w.
Bowes, of Atlantic, forced a band of
gypsies to remove his two little
brothers from a wagon, and frus-
trated an attempted kidnapping. Ray
and his brothers, Russell and Teddy,
the others younger than Ray, were
playing in the yard at home when a
party of gypsies drove up and halted.
One of the gypsies demanded some
thing TO eat of the children, and when
told there was no one at home but
them, the gypsies threatened to steal
Rays brothers if their demand for
food was not complied with. The lad
ran into the house and Selling large
revolver, returned, pointed it at the
gypsies, declaring he would shoot If
they did not move on" The gypsies
already had the two younger children
in one OF their wagons, but they
quickly put them out and got out of
town as fast as they could drive.

Ward had dropped his hands to save
himself from falling when he lost his
footing, and it looked as If the acct
dent had beaten his team. But Piggy
was game. He saw the victory slip
ping away, saw that he would not be
able to get his hands up in time to
touch the ball. and shutting his eyes
he ducked that old shining bald head
of his and butted that ball as hard as
he could.
Piggy sat down rather hard, dazed
and stunned, and put his hand up to
the spot the ball had hit. The whole
trademark was branded on the top of
his head, and there was lump that
was swelling like balloon being filled
with gas. But the ball he butted
bounded as straight and true as II it
had been thrown straight into Spro-
gle's hands, and Sprogle turned and
threw Smith out at first base, old Sam
La Rogue getting the put out. And
in the next inning Lancaster won the
game.
In all my ball playing experience 1t
was the greatest heady play ! ever
saw, and 1t was heady In double
sense, for old Piggy thought like a
fash, and when he saw he could not
get the ball with his hands, he went
after 1t with his head. haven't seen
him for years, but I'll bet now II any
one can get him to take his hat OF

usually hard to pick the greatest, but
the one recall was in a long forgot

it was made by players who shone for
time in the big circuit and were
slipping back.
The play was the headiest, the most
surprising and altogether the most
wonderful l ever witnessed, and al
though 1t was made more than twelve
years ago l never. have forgotten one
of the circumstances.
The play happened during the lat
ter part of the season of 1898 at Ian
caster, Pa, In a game between the
teams Of Lancaster and Allentown.
Old Piggy Ward, who had been IA
nous before that, was playing second
base for Lancaster, and Sprogle was
pitching. The game was a close one
The score was tied, 2 to in the elev-
enth inning, and the two teams were
battling desperately for the victory
as they were rivals in the pennant
race, and at that time 1t seemed as If
one or the other would win the pen
nant.
Ollie Smith came to bat for Allen
town with a runner on third base and
two out, and another runner on first.
Sprogle was a slow ball pitcher, and
with two balls and two strikes called
he floated up a slow teaser, and Smith
hit that ball as hard as ever base
ball was hit. He had called the turn
on the slow ball, and took run to
meet it and hit it with all his might.
1t went like shot straight at Piggy
Ward. The ball was hit so hard that
Piggy set himself and braced to break
1t down and throw out the runner;
and just as he was setting himself his
foot slipped and at the same instant
