night. 1t was something OF a surprise

AMERICAN LEAGUE.

Giants would land his new club in tie
for first place, because 1t was idle that
afternoon. He won that game in the
last inning with two base hit. 1t
was a sort of fiuky hit at that, for
Bescher should have caught the ball,
but he showed INDIGESTION in going aft.
er it and it went for double. This is
not the first time man playing with
one club has had an opportunity to
hurt or help the team TO which he
knows he has been traded.
George Moriarty's Base HIT.
Several years ago when George Mo.
rfarty was with the Yankees the De-
troit Tigers were fighting desperately
for the pennant in the final weeks OF
the race with the New York team en-
tirely out of the goin gand nothing to
gain or lost Before one of the games
in a series with New York Hughey
Jennings said incidentally 10 Moriarty:
How would you like to play with
Detroit?"
I'D be stuck on it. replied Moriarty.
81 think I'll put the trade through so
you can join the club tonight, an
swered Jennings.
Later that afternoon, in the ninth In
ming of the game, Moritrty came up to
the bat for New York when a base
hit would mean victory for the Yam
KEGS. If he made it he knew he might
be cheating himself out of a share OF
the worlds series money. One contest
might decide the race. At first he
thought of asking Griffith to let some
one hit for him and telling "Griff" that
he knew of the contemplated trade.
Then he changed his mind and went to
the bat. He made base hit and beat
Detroit, although the Tigers finally
won the pennant by small margin.
There isn't anything in my baseball
career that / am so proud of as that
base hit" said Moriarty afterward,
He was not traded to the Tigers
that year because of some hitch in the
deal. but went to Detroit the next sea-
son. Whether he was passing up a
share of the big money or not, he did
not know when he made that base hit,
but he did his best for the team whose
uniform he wore at the time.

In point Of time, the best meeting
of the evening was between the sailors

This is some comment on the slump
ing of a ball club-temporarily, at
least. Other clubs have blown up ma
chimes that were potentially greater
than the present Giants, but don't
think any of them cracked more sud
denly or completely. Still, this crack
ing of the Giants McGraw has been
afraid of all season. The whole team
went to pieces at once, pitchers, bat,
tiers and fielders.
The reason managers and not indi'
yiduals win baseball championships is
because they mold machine. All
great ball clubs have been great ma.
chimes, the products of managerial
genius. Look at the old clubs, the
Athletics and the Pirates s. in their
palmy days. There have been teams
of stars that never won flag because
every man was for himself. Take the
Philadelphia club in the time of Dele
hanty, Lajoie and the rest of that
crowd, or the Cleveland team later on,
