well known to old-timefs as the one
which happened to Cliff Carroll, on
the st. Loris 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 BALI
bounced crooked and hit him on the
chest. He grabbed at the ball hastily
and, as he clutched 1t, he showed 1t
down into the handkerchief pocket on
his shirt front The runner saw Car
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,
who at that time was at the head of
enfuss and Diddlebock which operat-
ed the club, was furious and ordered
an pockets removed from baseball
shirts. Other teams followed and the
pockets never have been restored, ex-
cept by a few players who are willing
to risk the repetition Of the accident
OF all the good luck freaks that
ever heard recounted, the best was
that which happened to Frank Isbell
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 city's juris-
dictions The ground was extremely
small and was inclosed by high
fence. So small was the Enclosure
that batters hitting the bali hard
against the fences were compelled to
sprint to first, because il the BAH hap

As 1t required about four hits of their
equivalent in errors to yield a 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 nome run over one OF

Freak Plays

DetrOitS Tigers and Philadelphia 8
Athletics were struggling in the final
series OF the baseball season in the
Tigers lair. Upon the outcome de-

Macks team had not ripened to its
full strength 1t looked as if 1t 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

Detroit was clinging desperately to
the one run lead that was earned by
two terrific drives by Crawford and
Cobb. Donovan was pitching magnii-
Gently, yet he could not prevent the
Athletics from hitting; time and again
the Tigers were thrown back on the
defensive and saved by the won

swung at fast ball, high and out
side the plate, and sent a twisting,
teasing fly over the head of the first
baseman, perhaps seventy feet back

almost on the foul line, one OF the few
spots on the entire playing field where
balls fall safe almost every time, Just
out Of the reach of any fielder. Ross

TANcLE IN MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS
TO COME UP IN SUPREME
COURT MONDAY. IS

jackson, Miss. Nov. 21.-A case Of
statewide interest that is to be called
before the supreme court next Mon
day is the case of the state ex rel At
torney General VS.. w. D. Ratliff ct al.
in which the supreme court is called
upon to decide the questions.
: Ratliff is acting mayor of Lucedale,
in George county, having been elected
to fill that office last spring while hold
ing the office of alderman. The allega-
ton against him is that while serving
as alderman the matter of an increas-
ed tax levy came up in which he nat
urally took part This, it is claimed,
makes him ineligible to hold the may
orally. :
At the same election at Lucedale
G. G. Undertake received more votes
for alderman than P. P. Bailey. But
Bailey's name was printed on the regu-
lar ballot and Undertakes was not.
However, the voters wrote the latter's
| name in ink on the ticket anyway.
Therefore, the attorney general noti-
fed the secretary of state that Timber
lake was properly and legally elected.
