Not long ago the Cincinnati Reds
were playing series In st. Louis.
It was late in the game. Card
final runner was on third. another
was on second. One man was out
Big Rube Benton was doing the
pitching.
The big left-hander shot the ball
into Tommy Clark's glove.
"strike!" yelled Umpire Byron.
A lank, wiry bunch OF nervous
energy, rushed like a madman at
the pitcher shaking both fists,
throwing his cap on the ground,
dancing about like crazy man in
fact.
That's TIL pitching RUDE. Put
the ole ball In there" he yelled in
voice that could have been heard
a block away from the park.
The next one was strike.
Again the wild man, doing a der
wish dance, rushed at the pitcher.
They were not the antics of an en-
thusiast, pleased with the fact that
his pitcher was pitching good ball.
It was more like human dyna-
mo, trying by his voice and his
actions to instill into that pitcher
some OF the human force and
strength that he himself felt.
The man struck out and the hui
man pepper box repeated his gyra-
tions.

slow ball seemed to cut the heart
OF the plate.
