Freak Plays
That Decide Baseball Championships
BY Hugh S. Fullerton
1CorYrignf. 1918, by w. q. Chapman,


Athletics were struggling in the final
series of the baseball season in the
| Tigers lair. Upon the outcome de-
pended the championship of the Amer
lean league, and the chance to meet
the Chicago Cubs for the worlds
championship. The Athletics were
ahead in the race, and although
Mack's team had not ripened to its
full strength it looked as if it would
hold It's lead. The game was the first
of four that were to be played in De-
troit, and in the eighth inning the
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
ries.
Detroit was clinging desperately to
the one run lead that was earned by
two terrific drives by Crawford and
Cobb. Donovan was pitching magnifi-
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
derful fielding feats of Cobb and
Bush. The eighteen athletes were
strained to the breaking point and
each one was ION his toes" every in
slant. In the eighth inning the Ath-
letics got a runner to second base
with no one out. 1t looked like a tied
score, perhaps victory, when one of
the strangest freak plays ever seen
interviewed, saved Detroit, and turned
the entire tide of the season. The
batter twice attempted to sacrifice.
failed and was forced to hit. He
swung at a 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
Of the bag, and the ball was falling
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
man, the first baseman, turned and
tore down the foul line, his back di-
rectly to the plate, but from the first
1t was evident he could not reach the
falling ball. Schaefer, who was play
ing second. had been playing in per-
feet position to cut off a right-field hit
from the bat of a left-handed hitter.
He started the instant the ball was
hit and sprinted at top speed toward
1t. From short right came Ty Cobb,
who, seeing the victory snatched from
his team by sheer luck, had turned on
the wonderful burst of speed that has
made him the marvel of baseball. It
looked as if Cobb might reach the
ball by feat possible only for him.
yet Schaefer although lower, had
made a quicker start, claimed the
catch and reached the ball. His final
leap, made with hands outstretched,
brought him to the ball just inside
the foul line and, as he accomplished
the wonderful catch, and while the
crowd was roaring with applause,
Cobb, unable to check himself in his
frantic effort, crashed against Schae-
fer, turned a somersault over him and
as he went down, Schaefer allowed
the ball to fall from his hands. A
groan arose from the crowd. The
Athletic runner on second had tried
to get back to the base when he saw
that Scnaefer would reach the ball,
and now he turned and raced for the

need not be more than four feet high
in the rear and slightly more in the

roof for hog houses Is that of heavy

also makes good roof. and Is to be
commended for the movable houses
When iron of any kind is used for the
roof It should be laid on solid boards
as iron Is very hot In summer when

Since a hog house need not be too

sows and Is growing large number
Of pigs each year should have a half

farmers have all their hog houses

An average COW or beef animal may
be fed about thirty-five pounds of sill
