GREATEST BASEBALL
PLAY BY KING KELLY
He Thought 1t Out While Ball
Was In the Air.

'The greatest play from the stand
point Of quick thinking that I have

Of the Giants, "was one made by Mike
Kelly years ago. 1t illustrates why
they called Mike the king.
"Kelly was catching in a close game.
In the ninth inning his team led by a
run, when the other side stepped to
bat. Two men were. retired easily
Then a base on balls and an error put
the tying run on second and the win.
ming run on first.
"The next batter shot a hot single to
right, and the man on second tore for
the plate. The outfelder's throw came
in true enough, but to Kelly's left, on
his gloved hand. AS the ball was in
the air Mike say that he had to take
it with his left hand. If he used two
hands he would miss the runner. Yet,
taking the ball with the glove and
swinging into a sliding man, he ran
the chance of dropping the throw.
"Kelly figured this out quicker than
it takes me to tell it. He flung off his
glove, caught the bounding ball with
his barred left hand and touched the
runner out.
"Tve seer many great plays in my
twenty-seven years in baseball. This
one has always stood out as the head
lest play Of them ALL"

Years Ago, Gays Oonovans
Some veteran American leaguers

cause it hasn't as many good pitchers.

cause Bill was one Of those good pitch

1 had to do it I could go down to Hot
Springs next February, train off some

any first division team. That sounds
like bunk, but the old souper is much
stronger now than it was when I quit

to do the stunt. but he finally cam across with a record game. Bob
took part in both games of a double header with the White Sx and
pitched eleven consecutive hiless inning two in the first game and nine
in the second, this being a unique stunt. In the seventh inning of the first
game Plank, who had relieved Sohorn in the fifth, was removed to make
game. He did so by letting the sx down without a blow up to the finish of
the contest Bob appeared to be in sush excellent form that Jones nominat-

. ONMONEY
Gold, Silver and Precious Metals
Can Be Exported Only
When Licenses Issue

WASHINGTON, September s-(As-
soeiated Press)--In order to conserve
the treasury resources of the United
States the President yesterday placed
an embargo on the export Of all gold
coin, gold bullion, silver coin, silver
bullion and currency, and made this eff
feetive on Monday next.
Licenses must be obtained for the
expectation Of the precious metals or
money after Monday of next week, and
Secretary of Treasury MeAdoo is au-
thorized 10 issue such licenses where in
the opinion of the federal reserve bank
board IL would be not harmful TO pub
lie interests TO permit such expectation,
II is believed that this method will
conserve the large store of gold and
money that has poured into the United
States and much Of it found its way
into the treasury during the three
years of the war when the United
States has been the main source of sup.
ply for practically everything which
the belligerent nations have needed.
Recently this stock of wealth has
been heavily drawn upon by Japan,
Spain and Mexico. Especially heavy
drafts have been made by Japan. In
explanation Japan merely replied that
such drafts were required to meet the
current demands Of the extraordinary
business with the Allied nations which
was coming 10 japan. But such drafts
continued and the quantities of gold
and bullion became such as to cause
alarm to the administration. After
casting about for means to check the
large Withdrawals of the nation tan.
gible wealth the plan of the embargo
was considered, approved, and is now
finally to be put into operation.
