1t is a necessity for the majority OF

add three cups Of stock or water; let
this boil. In a casserole put thin
slices Of a small carrot and onion, and

thrown on the line to the o%utfelders,
for he had me 30 nervous and angry
that I was wild. We were leading
them by one run In the ninth inning
when, with one out, they got runners
on first and third bases and he was
noisier and more abusive than ever.
He would run up and down in the
third base coacher's position, clear In
to the base lines, and yell at me. ]
was looking for them to try a double
steal and I decided that If they did I'd
throw anyhow and to third base,
which looked bad as a play. The ball
was pitched and the runner started
down from first. I guess I shut my
eyes and cut loose the ball as hard
as I could throw toward third base.
That throw was five feet wide and 1t
wouldn't have stopped short Of the
left field seats, but that monkey Of a
coacher who had been at me all after
noon had run in toward the base line
to yell something at me. He lodged,
but he couldn't dodge quickly enough.
The ball struck him in the middle OF
the back and rolled away. I thought
it was all over and felt pretty sure,
until the umpire called out the runner
who had scored from third because of
the interference Of the coacher, and
sent the other runner back to first
base. The next batter struck out
and I walked down and told that
coacher what I thought Of him. I also
told him I had thrown on purpose to
hit him and that I knew the umpire
would call the runner out. He must
have believed me, for never again did
be start after me in a game.

The worst b~one-headed play / ever
made didn't count against me at all
and really won a game for me. 1t
wasn't the fault Of my head that
caused us to win, but the fact that In
those days l could throw a bit. The
thing vas as lucky a bit Of baseball
as l ever saw and it taught n willy
old ball player that sometimes 1t
doesn't pay to pull off too many tricks
on young ball players. l was some
what younger than I am now and was
working one Of my first professional
games. I had caught a lot at school,
but coming into professional ball
made it different. For fear someone
will recognize the old player l will
not name the club he was with. He
saw I was young and a bit nervous,
and he commenced as soon as the
game started to try to get me going,
hoping I would throw the game away,
and how near he came to making me
do 1t only he and I knew until long
~afterward. BY the fifth inning he had
me all in the air and he did not stop
at anything to keep me there. Luckily

Suppose for an instant-of course it
couldn't happen, but just suppose any
way-that Marquard, Walsh and John
son we're ever gathered on the same
club. Together thiC trio has won 20
of their first 80 games. Which leads
one to remark that it is a remarkable
piece of finging. Of the three, Walsh
can stand more work, while Johnson
and Marquard carry a trife more bril-
liancy. Walsh and Marquard are
pitching for better ball clubs and have
that advantage.
