SMALL BITS OF SPORT

a writer IN the Toronto MAIL
says: Baseball has some funny
freaks, but none ever beat one which
a writer recalls happened in a game
back in Indiana on May 80, 1890, when
the Anderson club got three triples, u
double and two singles in one inning
and yet they didn't score. Ireland.
the first batter, hit for d triple and
tried to score on a short passed ball
but was tagged out. WiSWell, the mex
batter hit for what looked like a horne
run, but was caught at the plate by
good return. Shumway, the next bat
ter tripled- The next batter, Derby,
hunted, and While the third baseman
was waiting for the ball to go foul the
batter made second, thus giving him
two bases. Faatz also hunted, and was
safe, as ShumWay on third was held
from scoring. This made five hits, aud
the sixth came when Fear hit a liner
to right, the ball hitting Faatz on the
way to second, thus retiring the side.
Manager Fred Clarke of Pittsburg
failed to land his team a winner of the
National League pennant this year,
but the leader of the Pirates will WIN
so many bets that he will have enough
neckties, shoes, hats and suits of
clothing to stock a good sized sto: =.
Last winter Clarke declared that he
would not play ball this season. Ee
said that he would not even go to bat
in a pinch. No one took him seriously
All figured that Clark could not resist
the temptation to get into the game.
Clarke offered 10 wager that his name
would not figure in a box score all
season. From all sides he was flooded
with offers to bet that he would play
in a game Clarke took the wagerS
as fast as they were offered. In few
weeks more Fred will begin to collect
his winnings. If all those who tct
with him make good Clarke will be the
most dressed manager that baseball
ever had.

In Memory of ..Bugs., ;,

BY William F. Kirk
His frame was once frame of steel
That turned into a frame of clay
The hours he whiled as might a child
Living and laughing in today
As babies chase bright butterflies
He chased the phantom known as JOY
Pray pity him, your critics grim
Remember, he was just boy.
Who knows, in all the world of cant.
In all this world of right and wrong,
If those who preach and those who rant
Will hear a Sweeter welcome song?
He was a wastrel, nothing more,
With strength Fate told MIN to destroy
But you, still strong, who called him
wrong,
Remember. he was lust a bow
