BY BILLY EVANS.

| During the recent worlds series a
group of the games greatest players
were seated in the lobby Of a Boston
| hotel, discussing the big series in particu-
| lar and base ball in general For various
reasons I will not mention the names OF
the players in the tanning bee. On the
day previous Buck OBrien had made a
| balk in the first inning of the game al
New York. 1t proved to be very costly
! mistake.
| Il see the papers are making a grea;
deal of comment on that balk made by
O'Brien," ventured one of the players.
THAT is the unfortunate part of play
| ing in big SERIES replied another
| Make a balk during the season and the
| mistake is forgotten in few days. Pull
a false move in the worlds series and
| the happening is soon spread to all parts
of the United States, and few foreign
ports.''
Il really believe Brien thought he was
| off the rubber was the comment of an
other member of the group. who is re-
that ever lived. And by the way, that
was the very thing that caused OBrieH
| to make the false move that proved sc
costly. / was umpiring the bases that

About the eighth inning. with two down.
the opposing team got man as far as
third. The Fellow at bat was a pretty
fair hitter. and naturally l worked my
hardest to set him down. He must have
fouled Off a dozen balls before he finally
got q pass to first. 1t seemed to me s
if l lad pitched a couple of innings to
that one man.
When the next hitter stepped to the
plate. the perspiratiOn was simply rolling
off me. Just as 1 started my delivery,
several beads of persp.ratiOn rolled down
my eyelid and felt l would me momen-
tar.ly blinded if the perspiratiOn got in
my eye. L also figured that it might
cause me to make a wild pitch So l sud-
denly stopped in my motion, flecked the
perspirat;On away, and was about 10 con-
tinue my delivery, when to my surprise
the umpire yelled 'balk.' balk. Imagine

Tried to Steal Third Base.

81 once worked for manager who was
the authority for the sarcastic statement
that the best play he ever saw was a
base runner stealing third with a man
on that base. / never pulled that stunt
but it is no fault of mine that my name
has not been enrolled with those who
nave stolen a base with some one in
possession of that particular cushion 4
well known major league catcher was
now doing the talking.
1T was rather late in the season, and
our team was hopeless.y out of the race.
In this game we were about eight runs
to the bad when the eighth inning rolled
around. l was once all but a member of
the club we were playing, the manager
finally passing me up because he insisted
1 was too slow on my fee. During the
series a number of the scribes had kid
ded me considerably about how slow l
used to be, and how much slower l was
getting.
When came to the bat. there was
man on first and two out. It pleased
me very much wnen ! hit safely, sending
the man on first to .hird. / figured the
catcher would never think of ME going
down eight runs behind. SO I decided 1
would try to add a stolen base to my
record. and incidentally show my ac-
cusers that I still had some speed.
strangely enough, II was the only Ilme
had reached frs: in the three games
played | got a good start and went
down on high speed. The catcher didn I
even make a throw to second. Imme-
diately l forgot there was another thin,
in base ball aside from stealing bases. On
the very first ball pitched I dashed for
third. The batter OWNED what l was
trying to do. hit at the ball. and luckily
for me made foul. ! had taken such
lead that 1 had rounded third when he
made the foul. IN second the crowd
was hysterical with laughter. ! felt like
the biggest boob imaginable.
