There were two ways for Josh TO M.

After tho game he said that he should
have figured on Lobert being fast
enough to score on m ordinary single
n consequently should have gone back
to prevent a two-baSEer. Lobert, being
OF the fastest men in the league,
could have scored N most anything.
That II q pretty good iilustra on OF

was out before they knew what had

allowed Lobert to score on C~ravath's

Josh decided It better to play in close
so thst II Crsvath happened to hit a

throwing Lobert out at the plate. As

MATTV HAD RIGHT TO THROW
BALL TO FIRST.


WheA the inning was yer Matty went
to Klein for an explanation of his queer
decision. There IL q rule by which an
umpire can call 4 ball on q pitcher II he
deliberately takes up time by throwing
the ball anywhere but to the plate.
KLEIN forgot. however. that II was a
foul bah. and that Matty had not got
back to the b0x He had the right to
throw the ball whore he pleased. as II
was not In play until he got back on
he mound. II WAS too late then. but
Klein was confronted with the sudden
KNOWLEDGE that tho wsrhks duties Of the
afternoon had sent him up In the air
and he had pulled . bad one.
II wouldn't have cared" said Matty
last night, except that Il pat me In the
hole and forced ma to groove the ball 10
Titus instead Of trying him with n
curve. It shows. however. that umpires
can sometimes lose their temper as
well a. the players"
The most spectacular play OF this his
toric game was made by Herzog. and
for quick thinking and daring In a
pinch II was q world heater. The
Giants needed n run TO tie IN the
ninth and the bases were full. with two
out. Arthur Wilson was at the bat.
There wero two strikes ana two balls
on him. Alexander took "a big wind up.
Suddenly the crowd saspsd. Heroes
had made a flying start from third as
Alexander began to wind up and by a
great slide heat the ball to tho plate
by inches. II was a clean steal Of home
and tied the score. While tho Philies
were dumhfounded over this unexpected
play Meyers lit out for second and Sha-
fer for third. On tho throw To second
Shafer should have scored. but he didn't
think quite quickly enough. and when
he dAd start Knabe's throw nailed him
at the plate.
