MERGER OF CLUB
APPEARS CERTAIN
Commercial and Y. M. B. Or
CARNATIONS Committees
Both Indorse 1t.

Committees representing the Young
Mems Business Club and the CONNER
cial Club met yesterday afternoon in
the Commercial Club rooms In the
Masonic Temple and discussed ways
and means for the proposed merger
of these two organizations. 1t was the
first meeting of the two committees
and the keen interest taken in the ef
fort to consolidate the two clubs prac-
tically assures the affiliation in the
near future, The committees were
composed of George Seidel, Sharon E.
Jones. Charles w. Jordan and 8. e.
Swayne from the Commercial Club;
Demas 8. Coe. William NJ. Bailey, Ray
mond b. Mather and Will w. Keller,
from the Young Mems Business Club.
1t was the concensus of opinion that
in event the merger is contaminated
the new organization shall be known
as the Commercial Club. There are
several propositions pending before
the Commercial Club and it is feared
that a change in the name might lead
to confusion. The respective commit
tees from the two organizations will
meet separately some time this week
and will come together in joint ses-
sion again next Monday afternoon at
which time it is expected definite &C
ton will be taken.

PLAY / I..1
EVER SAW2!
AS TOID,TO
Hush fullerton
Catcher Chicago White sox, and Who
10 Regarded ~ One Of the Most
Reliable Catchers In the
American League.
BY FRED PAYNE.

There never has been a doubt in
my mind as to the greatest play
ever saw. It was the one that hurt
worst.
The play that consider the great
est was one that Mordecai Brown of
the Cubs pulled OF In the game
that really decided the first worlds
championship between Chicago and
Detroit. was with Detroit then and
you can imagine how it hurt. 1t pre-
vented US from winning that game
and II we had won that one we
would have had a chance for the
money and the honors. I think the
play broke Detroit's heart and killed
the last chance we had to win, al.
though we were playing great ball.
In fact, we played good enough ball
that fall to beat anyone except the
Cubs-but they played better ball.
The play came. / believe, in the
fourth inning Of the game. The Cubs
had gone out into the lead right at
the start Of the game. and up to that
decisive inning we hadn't been able
to do anything with Browns pitch.
ing. He was going strong and it

looked as II we never could beat him.
Then O'Leary and Crawford cracked
out line singles to start the inning,
and with runners on hrst and second
and no one out it looked as If we
would at least tie, and perhaps win
the game right there. Cobb was at
bat-and II there is a better bthter
or faster man going to first want
to see him. Brown planned the play
all himself. We fellows on the bench
knew exactly what was going to be
tried. 1t was a million to one Cobb
was going to hunt toward third base.
He had been signalled to sacrifice,
but we knew he would try to puck it
down the third base line and beat 1t
out. Brown stopped the game and
consulted with Steinfeldt. He might
as we'll have told US what he was 60
ing to do. He was intending to make
tho play to third base and it looked
~ II he was going to throw away the
game. Cobb laid down q perfect bunt
just inside the third base line, Just
the right distance and speed. Brown
couldn't have had q chance to catch
followed tho ball, cut across to the
third base line, grabbed the ball on
the second bound and shot to third,
forcing OLeary by ten feet. The
failure Of Cobb's great play upset NJ,
and . minute later King snapped the
ball to second and caught the runner
OF that base, Tinker playing the ball
perfectly and timing his arrival ut
the base to tho tenth OF a second;
and on . strike out a. Cobb was try
Ing to steal, King fired high over Sec
ond. Evers leaped. grabbed tho ball
with one hand and came down on top
Of Cobb. The succession Of wonder
fully executed plays was enough to
break the heart Of any team, and the
fact that the Tigers kept fighting
clear to tho end proved their game
ness, although It didn't win the game.
l believe every player on the De-
troat team that night gave It to
Brown for making tho greatest play
they ever saw, and it certainly was
the most wonderful I ever looked ut.
