The game was about half over when

an Oakland, Cal. critic who watched
Hal Chase play ball in the bushes,
play Hal @ n second base, ever il the
Californian is a southpaw thrower.
Il recall distinctly" avs the critic.
that second base was Halls favorite
Dishes around San Jose before Morley
discovered him n put him in a Los

incidentally: it might be we'll TO
observe that If there is n position

baseman md Il shortstop and an ideal
outf1elder. Also the writer recalls
having seen Chase in Il marvellous
play behind the bat on the campus of
Santa Clara university. Chase was

inning with one man down and three

the bat. evidently saw the signal for
a squeeze play, for he ordered Kill
burn TO waste the ball.
"Kilburn apparently got ratified. for
he served up a straight fast one that
seemed about to cut the plate. The
batter was left handed. and as lie
shaped himself for a quick getaway,
Chase threw off his mask and leapcd
from his position. Just as Hal had
OWNED the bunt was perfect and the
ball rolled down the first base line
just q wee bit faster thai the runner.
The latter. starting six feet from be-
beat. them both before they had gone
twenty feet. Like q flash Chase
grabbed up the ball. blocked the run
ner to first and shot the ball TO sec

there and complete the double play

"The pla VAS done SO fast that no
one seemea 20 realize for IL moment
what had happened. Chase. however.
seemed quite unconcerncd. SO those
fellow. who think Chase can't play at
second or anywhere else, ought to Just
try him and then keep quiet.
I'm almost the first game he played
in IL Highlander uniform he came in
from first base and collected a hunt
on the third base line in time to tag
the runner who was sliding for the
plate. Any time he can't play any posi-
ton on the old hall field. they'll have
to chain him. hand and foot"
