BASEBALL STORIES.
Connie Maok's Trick on Cap Arson and
the Foul Strike Rule.

Connie Msck's Trick on Cap Arson and
the Foul Strike Rule.
There may have been better catchers
than Connie Mack, but none any fox
Ter. Connie was with the Pirates back
in 1893, when he played little trick
on Cap Arson that won a game for
Pittsburgh.
AID Gumbert was pitching for the
Pirates and got himself into a hole.
Chicago filed the bases in hurry, and
only one man was out. Cap Arson
came to bat.
In those days Cap was a terror TO
pitchers. The situation was serious.
Cap had way of taking two strikes
end then lighting ON the third one for
,are-ye. well.
And so it was here. Gumbert 6oated
.wo across, and Cap didn't blink an
eye.
Suddenly Connie Mack stepped aside,
while Gumbert held the ball, and took
off his mask. he wiped his brow,
tossed his glove aside and started re,
moving his chest protector.
Arson was amazed. He looked
around and glanced with wide open
eyes at Mack. whats the matter,
CONNER" he inquired. "Ain't you 60
ing to give HE crack at the ballY
AS he spoke Connie signaed to Gum
bert, and be whipped fast one
straight across. Mack reached out his
chest protector and blocked the ball.
Then he grabbed 1t as 1t rolled away,
touched the plate, forcing the man who
was on third, and then, throwing to
first, doubled Arson. The Cap was so
surprised he didn't even try to run.
Behind every change In rules lies a
pretty little romance of one kind or an.
other. According to George Moreland.
1t was McGraw and Thomas who
forced the foul strike rule.
In the early nineties those two men
were so adept in knocking fouls until
they got one they could hit that they
delayed the game Indefinitely. 1t was
nothing extraordinary for them to
crack out twenty or so fouls in single
time at bat.
Like the expert cricket batter. they
could tick the ball at will, just meet
ing 1t. They worried pitchers so that
finally, In desperation. they would lay
zone across, waist high, and they'd
crown it.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
