Billy Evans Puzzle Plays
Written Especially For This Paper by American Umpire

Merkle, Bender sent up a fast break
ing curve, low and on the outside
Merkle had made up his mind to hit,
and started to take a healthy swing at
the ball Seeing that it was sure to
be a ball, he tried his Dest to stop his
swing, but was unable to do so, and
went clear over the plate. Often, on
such plays, the umpires vision is OBJ
scured at the last moment, so that he
is in doubt as to whether the batsman
actually went over or not. Merkle, as
the batters usually do on such play
started for first base, creating the be-
lief that he had been given base on
balls. Catcher Schang of the Athletics
knew Merkle had struck at the ball.
so he regarded the side as retired.
AS is customary '. it'll most catchers,
he rolled the ball back into the in
field. and started to the bench. The
other Athletic players also started TO
come in. Merkle, as he rounded first
base noticed this fact and dashed for
second. Shortstop Barry perceiving the
confusion, recovered the ball and
started for Merkle.
McGravv Injected Strategy.
The very mo- Mt that Barry started
for the bali. McGraw made his en-
trance into the mixup. He had been
coaching at first base. One of the
balls that had previously been fouled
into the right field stands had been
returned to him. He held it, awaiting
the completion Of the play. Undoubt-
edly, McGraw believed that Barry
would be able to retire Merkle. so he
decided to confuse the play further.

ANAGER McGRAW Of the Giants
is one of the wise men OF
baseball. His record with the


sew York team is cczcIusiye proof
Of that statement. McGraw is success
ful because he sees the little as well
as the big things as they happen on
the diamond. He Overlooks mighty
few bets.
Jack Egan of the American league
staff is a successful umpire, because
like McGraw, few things escape him.
In this connection, EEan relates an
interesting happening that came up
during the 1913 worlds series. NO
doubt, AIeGraw's part in the play went
unnoticed to most Of the fans. 1t Old

The play that gave McGraW his
chance to show his ability to think

sixth inning, the score stood 3 to 4 in
