a unique play came. up several wears
ago in one of the smaller leagues thai
is, of course, out Of the question on the
major league grounds because OF the
construction of the parks. The umpire,
ruling against the home club on the
play, naturally made the crowd sore
and trouble for himself. He was cor
rect in his ruling, however, so he did
not care what happened.
The owners of the ball park in the
city where the play happened had been
much troubled with fans cutting holes
in the fence to see the game rather
than come across with two bits. Pfi-
vate police protection failed to remedy
the trouble, so, at the close of one sea-
son, the owners decided that the proper
thing to do to kill of the knot hole
fans would be to erect a double fence
with about foot OF space between.
This stunt killed the knot-hole en-
thusiasts, but made possible a freak
play.
in the eleventh inning of a game in
which neither team had been able TO
score, the first man up for the visitors
hit the ball, not out of the park. but
dropped Ii between the two fences
When IL became evident to the batter
that the ball had dropped between the
fences, he began to jog around the
bases, believing he was entitled to a
home run. 1t so happened that the
ball came back on the field through
