MISSED FOUR LAST STRIKES
Batters Famed, but Each Got on Bases
and All Scored.

The possibilities of baseball are
evinced in various ways. Freak plays
are recorded in amateur and profess
sional games that would be considered
ridiculous if propounded at a tanning
bee. In a recent game in the Ameri-
can league a player scored n run with
out a base hit, pass or fielding error.
His third strike was wild pitch, ON
which he reached second. 4 passed
ball put him on third and another wild
pitch sent him home.
\ new Federal league recruit tells a
story of how four batters, whom he
struck out in row while pitching for
his college team, scored, which is
unique in baseball annals His catcher
as he tells the tale, was a little fellow
who could not hold his fast ones, and
as he had nothing but speed the result
was disastrous. Tho first four batters
to face the amateur Rusie reached first
safely when the catcher let the thirC
strike 90 through. The first batter
scored when the fourth landed on first
and hit and error following scoret
the next three.

Sporting Notes.

Caldwell pinehed hit the Yankees to
another victory yesterday.
When one stops to think about it,
there seem to be more hitting pitchers
this season than ever before. There is
Caldwell &c the Yankees, Ruth and
Foster of the Red Sox, Sister of the
st. Louis Browns, Johnson of the Sen
ators. And there are others.
Catcher Sweeney, who has contract
calling for $4,000 year with the New
York Yankees, and which does not ex-
pire until the end of next season, has
been let out to the Richmond club of
the International league. With him
have gone Warhop, pitcher, and Mullen
a first baseman.

finds the local club going against the
West at nearly a 900 clip. Eight wins
and six defeats were chaIked for and
against them prior to hitting the ties
for Philadelphia, which figures a per-
centage of 80, or considerably better
than the showing made on any previ-
Gus trip. The figures show the Braves
and the Giants profiting on their trip
to the West while the Dodgers and the
Phillies slumped. Cincinnati, the tail
ender, was the only western organiza-
ton to benefit by the visits Of the
fasteners. Thus showing that, al
though the Braves might have done
much better, things are working out
very much in their favor.

October I, says the Washington Post.
At the beginning of the 1918 cam
paign his record showed that close to
79O batters had been turned back to
the bench during Alexander league
career, as result of failing to connect
with Grover s curves. When the season
opened he needed about PA strike
outs to complete his 1000, and as he is
wen past the 100 mark it appears rea-
sonably certain that Alexander will
fan this thousandth opponent by the
end of the season.
