Like well hit drive from the tee,
WrDat's liner burtled high above HO.kc
headed for one OF the most conspic-
nous signs near the foul line of the
r,cb. fTid fence. As Zach swung into
J. - s,rido he had visions Of the $50

particular spot entailed. Never, APP

sfter one Aecting glance over his left
sboulder. turned almost up against the
fence and after leap high in the air
succeeded in getting his bare finger

cot mo far enough for clean catch,
iut .ucceeded IN breaking the force
of the han so that II bounded up sew

his bare hand then snapped the leather

clutch was made Robertson had ue
ball started back like a bullet 20 Her

OF the midway almost before he rea-
lied his danger.
There have been wonderful catches
tcrore no doubt. There never was p
greater one than this by Robertson nor
,rc that had greater psychological
eject upon d team and upon crowd.
The Dodgers simply were Knocked

Sensational and unexpected as was
his double killing. il was but one Of
