COST maps PENNAN
Return OF Hinchman to Big Leagues
Recalls How His Loafing Cost His
Team Championship.

New York, jan 23-The re-entry OF
Big Bill' Hinchman into the big
leagues recalls the memorable "bone"
which he pulled back in 190S-the
bone that cost the Maps the pennant.
Hinchman, who graduates this sea-
son from the American Association to
the Pittsburgh Pirates, was with the
Maps in 1908 when they lost the pen
nant by half a game. On the last day
Of the season the Maps played two
games with the Browns. Had they
won both they would have won the
pennant. But they only won one, los
ing the other because of Hinchman S
mental lapse.
With a runner on third, in that
game which the Maps lost, Hinchman
damned a grounder over second base.
1t looked like a sure hit to him. In,
stead of sIrinting to first at top
speed, he simply loafed. The runner
already was crossing the plate with
the winning run So why hurry?
That's the way Hinchman figured.
But Hinchman loafed without TAX
ing Bobby Wallace into consideration.
The Brownie snortstop, then at the
height of his career, hurled himself at
the ball, made a miraculous stop. and
While three feet off the ground heaT~
ed the ball to first. 1t went straight
and true-and it beat the numbering
Hinchman by step.
Hinchman's out made the third cut.
The side was retired and the run that
crossed the plate didn't count. If it
had counted the Maps would have been
the victors in that game. AS it was,
they lost it eventually and the Detroit
Tigers, not the Cleveland Maps, bat
tied in the world series.
Jack Egen, umpire, was blamed by
the Nap fans for the loss of that game.
They declared his decision was unfair.
But the unbiased fans at that game
declared that Egan was right-that
Wallace's throw retired Hinchman.
