Funny Stunt That Once Won . Game
For the Wsshinstons.
Following IL an Interesting story
told by Hugh 3. Fullerton In the
American Magazine. In an article de-
scribing freak plays that have Won
baseball games:
"On the old Washington grounds.
when Washington was in the National
league. the players left the ield by
passing uuder the stands, and the en-
trance to the passage was closed by
a cellar door arrangement which
sloped dowr to the ground The doors.
of course. we're kept closed during
games, but at the top. cut tn the
planks Of the stand. was Q small
square hole to permit the players to
reach through ana unlatch the doors
when they desired to leave the field
"Dsrfng one game ! saw q ball.
which had been thrown wild to the
plate in an effort to cut OF the tying
run. roll up the doors and disappear
through that hole. The batter ctrcled
the bases and scored the winning run.
The Chicago club, under Anson. was
beaten and protested the game on the
ground that the opening existed In
violation of the rules. In the investi-
cation of the complaint an attempt
was made to force a ball through the
hole. and. although 1t was pounded
with a bat, the ban refused b pass
through the hole until the cover gave
way.
After that almost every team that
came op the grounds tried to put balls
through the hole and failed how
that thrown ball managed to twist It's
way through the aperture never has
been explained satisfactorily"
