national game, perhaps none is as
we'll known to old-timers as the one
which happened to Cliff Carroll, on
the St Louis grounds, when he was a
member of the famous Browns. "
Perhaps you have wondered why base
ball players have plain shirt fronts,
and why so few players have breast
pockets. Cliff Carroll is the reason.
He was running forward to take a
base hit on the first bound. The ball
bounced crooked and hit him on the
chest. He grabbed at the ball hastily
and. as he clutched it, he showed it
down into the handkerchief pocket on
roll tugging and straining to tear the
ball out of the pocket and instead of
stopping at first, he sprinted on to sec
ond while Carroll. still trying to dis
lodge the ball, ran to second. The
batter passed the fielder and turned
for third with Carroll in pursuit. At
third Carroll stopped and tried in vain
to release the ball, and the runner
kept on across the plate and scored
the winning run. Chris Won der Abe.

cept by a few players who are willing
to risk the repetition of the accident
OF all the good luck freaks that l
ever heard recounted, the best was
that which happened to Frank IsbelI
when he was playing with St. Paul in
the old Western league. In those
days baseball on Sunday was not per
mitted within the corporation limits
of ST. Paul, and Sunday park had
been erected outside the citys juris
diction. The ground was extremely
small and was incIosed by a high
fence. So small was the Enclosure
that batters hitting the ball hard
against the fences were compelled to
sprint to first, because if the ball hap

As it required about four hits of their
equivalent in errors to yield run,
small scores were the rule. In the
ninth inning of this game Milwaukee
had two runs the advantage and there
were runners on first and second with
Isbell at bat. ST. Paul's only logical
hope was for home run over one Of
the high fences. Isben hit a hard
line smash to right field against the
fence. The runner on first was

expecting the ball to rebound to him
and to whirl and force the slow man
at second base. ending the game. But
the ball didn't rebound. It impaled
itself on a wire nail about ten feet up
the fence, and while the Milwaukee
outfelders were hunting ladder, Is

game.

This play reveals the manner in
which one turn of fortune may change
an entire seasons outcome and upset
all the calculations of the baseball
world. No one ever has been able to
figure out the percentage Of luck in
the national game. have heard play
ers estimate that luck is 20 per cent,
while others claim it is at least 65 per
cent.

Detroft'g Tigers and Pbiladglpbfa's

Detroit's Tigers and Philadelphia 8

series OF the baseball season in the
Tigers lair. Upon the outcome de-
pended the championship of the Amer

the Chicago Cubs for the worlds

Mack's team had not ripened to its
full strength it looked as if it would
hold its lead. The game was the first
Of four that were to be played in De

Tigers were leading by the narrow
margin of one run. Every member Of
the TWO teams knew that the first
game probably would decide the Sc
