The man whom / believe to be the
greatest player that ever wore spike
made what l think was the greatest
play that ever was made. The player,
of course, was Hans Wagner, and the
play was made against Philadelphia
two years ago.
The play that I think was the best
I ever saw was made on the Philadel-
phia grounds, and not only saved the
game for US, but I think won the PEN
nant for Pittsburg. 1t was late In the
season of 1909, and although we had a,
fairly comfortable lead In the race,
every game counted and we couldn't
afford to lose any, as that Chicago
club kept coming back after US and
giving us a hard chase. Every time
. we lost the Cubs were right on our
heels, and every time they lost and
we thought we had them they came
back harder than ever.
We had the game won at Philadel-
phia by two runs and looked TO be
going along all right until the sew
you ever notice that just when you
think everything is lovely and that
the game is easy, trouble starts?
Well. 1t started right. Before we
could get them stopped the bases
were filled and no one out, with Bates
at the bat-a fast man and danger
GUS hitter.
The play that came seems rather
commonplace to tell, but to me it was
wonderful Bates hit hard line
drive low and almost over second
base. Wagner started before the ball
was hit, and going back Of second he
made enc of those wonderful one-hand-
ed running scoops that he alone
makes regularly. The great part Of
the play was what followed. I have
tried TO figure out how Wagner knew
what to do II he had caught the ball
near enough to second base to step
on the bag and then throw, he would
have had q triple play. But he was
back of the bag, overbalanced from
the effort of catching the ball, and In
6tinctively he knew that before he
could turn and run back to the base
the runner would slide back, safe. The
runner off first base was diving back
to keep from being doubled. Wagner
didn't hesitate or lose a second. He
whirled and whipped the ball straight
10 third base-and the runner was
nipped of that bag.
1t seemed that the moment the ball
hit Hans hand he knew what to do.
He realized that the play was Sc fast
and the catch so wonderful, neither
the runner on first or second would be .

White Sox had such a big lead that
there was practically nothing that
Schaefer and his teammates could do
to bring a victory. So. when he stood
on second base, with another Wash
ington runner on third, he got his
fertile brain to working Before any
one could realize what he was trying,
he was off like a shot for first base.
The catcher pegged to Zeider. hold
ing down the bag. but Germany" slid
in before him. 1t was the first time
man had ever stolen first base Then
Zeider winged the ball back to the
catcher to head off the other runner.
who had started for the plate. Pan
demonium reigned, and the entire Sox
bunch squad marched on to the field
to see what the umpire would do. In
the excitement. Schaefer raced back
to second. and the other runner re-
turned safely to third. After the game
his jumps explained that, If Zeider
had tagged Schaefer while the latter
was on first base. he would have
been out, as second base was the only
safe, ground for him until he reached
third.
Pat Newman the former first base
man of the st. Louis Browns, now
once more a member of the Houston
team, of the Texas league. was the
victim of an odd ruling recently. An
other Houston runner was on secon
when Pat knocke ed the ball out of the
lot for a clean homer. Pat never loafs
on the bases He didn't this time, even
though the ball was out of the park.
So he teamed around the bases. catcf
ing up to the other runner at thir l.
He passed him and crossed the plate
first The umpire ruled that Pats run
counted, but that the other man WIS
out because he didn't cross the plate
before Pat. The decision was based on
the force-out rule.
Ever hear of a center fielder tag
ging man out at home plate? So far
rs we know. that has been done. but
once in the history of the game. En-
NETT Heidrick of the old St Louis
Browns of 1902. was the hero. A hot
one was lined over second base. Hell
drick came in on the dead run for 1t.
but the ball slipped through him.
Jesse Burkett. the left fielder, finally
captured the ball and hustled 1t in to
Heidrick. who had coasted on almost
to second base The runner by this
pegged to the third baseman, but the
progress towards the plate. Heidrick
kept running and took the throw of
the catcher, who had backed up the
third baseman. He was just near
enough to make a head first dive for
the runner. who was sliding for home,
and he slapped the ball on him in the
nick Of time ending the comedy OF
errors and putting the runner out.

THE UNEXPECTED IN
BASEBALL GIVES
SNAP To LIFE
New Things Are Constantly
Bobbing Up Where None
We're Expected
(By NIontel

New York, n. Y, Aug. 2S-The I'M
expected happens in all walks of life,
in all work and play. Baseball is no eX-
ception. Every season yields its quota
of new stuff" At the end of any
year it is easy to look back over the
doings,, and say that everything pos
sib1e in baseball has now been done.
But 1t hasn't, as the following season
will prove. 1t is said of the game of
chess that there is an endless number
of possible arrangements of the pieces
I on the board. The same seems to be
true of baseball, excepting that the
diamond takes the place of the board
and men take the place of the pieces.
One of the Queer Things.
The other day one Of the queerest
things in the history of the game hap
pened-that is, from the standpoint
of the official scorer. After much pom
dering over the play. he recorded an
error for the catcher, strikeout and
wild pitch. 1t all happened on one
thrown ball. A runner was on third,
and the batsman had two strikes
against him. The pitcher cut loose
one that was SO slow it hit the ground
before 1t reached the plate, but the
batter hit at 1T for the third strike.
The catcher could not stop the ball
and the runner on third came home.
While the DdlIeT got 10 IlTSl DdSe- AS
to the scoring-a pitcher gets a
strikeout whenever the batter swings
for the third strike whether the
catcher gets the ball or not. The
catcher gets an error whenever he
fails to catch a third strike unless
he throws the runner out at first
which he OF course could not do in
this case. AS the runner from third
scored on the obvious crooked throw
of the pitcher. the latter had to be
held responsible for a wild pitch.
Therefore one thrown ball produced a
strikeout, wild pitch and a catcher's
error
Two Funny Ones.
Two funny ones were perpetrated
by Germany Schaefer of Washing
ton. in recent games. With the New
York Yankees opponents, Schae-
fer rolled slow one down the first
base line to Hal Chase The latter
was about to tag ScEaefer out, h4lt
Germany had an inspiration. He
put on the reverse and turned back
toward home. with Chase after him.
Germany" touched home, but didn't
stop. He set sail for third. Chase stiJl
in pursuit. After rounding third and
aiming towards second. the situation
proved too much for him. Holding
his aching sides. he stumbled and fell
to the ground, Chase tripping aver
him. The two lay there a full minute
roaring to Their hearts content, wkiIe
the bowls of the crowd echoed the
humor of the situation

big league. got off another good one

amusing and much more unusual The

far enough away to catch. Also he
knew they were both smart base run
ners and alert for every move. He
knew that the runner on third would
be away from the bag and slow in get

play without stopping to see IL his
figuring had been correct-and then

right. l tried to get John to tell

much to knock another player that he
wouldn't even admit that he figured
