Steve "Not thing. The best play
of the trip was launched by Fred
Merkle, in London, and the best
game was staged at the same place.
In the London game, with the
bases full and only one out, Merkle
made play that | never saw before
in baseball. Ruck Weaver dumped
a slow one down almost through the
pitcher's box, Merkle dived for the

at the plate with both feet off the

the ultimate position of the Un-

These two incidents concern the

The Blue Badge of Caution.

We have never charged that Willie
Ritchie was shy the Red Badge OF
Courage but neither can Willie be aC-
cused Of being detached from the Blue
Badge of Caution.
We have maintained all along that
Willie he's made up his mind TO TAX"
no chance on being diSp eced before
the big fair next year. y lightweight
champ plus a native son in California
through 1915 will have gold mine at
his feet. with no work left except to
rcist the nuggets with a ladle. Willie
knows this as well as anyone else. We
nave heard him mention the incident
in fact. And knowing this Willie, as
suggested above. has no idea OF alb
sol bling anv unnecessary risk until tho
sMag is properly apDortioned.

gone forever The training season is
now two weeks along and we have

Ii you desire-and perhaps YOU don't
to attach the goat of any of the re-

English slogan and suggest that the
game he is playing is nothing but 'Glor-
flied ruunders." That was the shot that
landed with a noisy thud seven inches
under the belt.
Some one was kidding Joe Tinker over
having eight or ten players on his pay
roll who had never been heard Of before
Sure" remarked Joseph. but then no
one had ever heard of Walter johnson
until he stepped out one afternoon and
shut Detroit out.
Considerable rebuttal-eXcept for the
fact that all this happened six years ago
and no other Johnson has stepped out
since. Nor will again very soon.
According to Fred Merkle. the pyra
mids comprised one of the best sets of
bunkers he ever saw. Nothing but
perfectly played niblick shot could car
