Hank Shanks. the Monaco Marvel. who
did this very thing yesterday in the
second game with the Chicago White
Sox.
In the eighth inning things looked bad
for George Mullin. Bodie had sailed
the pill over the right field wall against
the warehouse. Mattick had reached
third and Weaver second, with but one
out Quickly George Mcbride sneaked
in behind Weaver. straying too far
from the keystone cushion, and took
Henry's perfect peg. Immediately en-
sued an exciting chase up and down
the paths, Weaver being driven toward
third and forcing Mattick toward the
plate.
Suddenly Mcbride hurled to Henry
and the rush began to drive Mattick
back to third. Back and forth raced
the athletes, three or four coming in
to spike poor "Chink'' Mattick. No one
dreamed of seeing Hank Shanks in
his daring dash into the .nfield. But
there he was taking throw at third
and launching out in a sprint race for
the plate.

City lad could drive for the platter,
Shanks had hammered that ball into
his back and was on his way back to

Weaver. The latter. however. had
reached third safely and a double play
was out OF the question.

Shanks in making a putout near the
