1--WE seen freak homers in the
Southern, Pacific Coast, American
and National Leagues, but will take
of my hat TO a couple l saw on the
Brooklyn grounds this season. George
Cutshaw, OF our club. made the first
one, beating the Phillies in II innings,
when his drive climbed up the right
field wall and dropped into Redford
avenue, back Of the park.
Bethel, OF the Cardinals. made the
second freak wallop in a recent series
with us. He hit a low line drive 10
left in the fourth inning. Wheat came
tearing in for a shoestring catch, but
the ball squirted OF his leg and into
the bleachers. where II was grabbed
by fan. The latter shot Il to Wheat,
who held Bethel TO second.
1T looked like an assist for the
fan. but Umpire Rigler ruled the hit
homer. so the fan didn't get the
assist and Bethel was credited with
a circuit smash"
