Merkle, Schrekengost, Niles
Most Famous EXploiters
of Skull Baseball.

NEW YORK, oct. 23.-The phrase
"he pulled a MerHle" may he dropped
from basebali's classic parlance to
make room for q brand new bit OF
sang by substituting the name of Iim
for that of the former Giant first
baseman.
Heinie Zimmerman's name certain
ly deserves to go down in baseball
history as the only man who ever ap-
preached Merkle's famous bonehead
play
Heines famous 3O-yard sprint down
the third base line aften the fleet
footed Collins is one OF those eXh bl
tions of ivory which come up in bah
game when even the smarteSt players.
playing at a high tension lost their
heads foi an instant and pull play
that the vericst sandlotter would
jeer at.
The greatest bone, prior to Zim's
was " hen Merkle failed to touch sec
end on Brldwell's hit in the last game
of the series in 1908. Merkle started
for the clubhouse believing the game
was won when Sheckard recovered the
ball, threw to Evers and the Giants
were declared out by Umpire O'Day,
the winning run not counting. The
game was played over and the Giants
lost.
Merkle added to his fame as an
ivory merchant in the world series OF
1912 by failing to go after high
foul which would have won the series
for the Giants.
One of the famous boners of base
ball was similar to Iim's. Ossie
Schrekengost. a slow-footed Athletic
catcher. chased a baserunner clear
around the bases without attempting
to throw the ball. The runner scored
and the Athletics lost the game. 1t
happened that the game was not of
particular importance and Ossie did
not get into the Zm and Merkle class.
Another famous bone was pulled by
John Anderson, who tried to steal sec
ond with the bases full. Red taber
duplicated this in the 1917 World Sc
ries.
Harry Niles one of the speed mer-
chants of baseball, was so famous for
his bonehead plays that he was finally
driven into the minors in spite of his
otherwise brilliant mechanical play.
Playing with Boston against Wash
ington in 1903. Niles was at bat with
two out, Boston one run behind an
Danzic, slow baserunner, on first.
He hit to second, ducked his head and
didn't stop until he had reached third,
disregardng the fact that DanZig had
stopped az second
Once with Cleveland Niles caught
a fly ball when the bases were clogged
with Boston baserunrers. only one
man was out, but Niles disregarded
the freuzIed howls of the other play
crs and the fans started for the club
house. Three Boston runs scored.
Hap" Myers, former Boston first
baseman. once raced from first to
third on Hejne Wagner's sacrifice with
two out. Boston was playing New
York and Hal Chase, playing first
base. was so dumbfounded that he
threw wild to Austin and Myers
scored, wagner reaching second.

The answer would be easy with
the problem of war eliminated. The
SoX would be hard team to beat in
1918 under any condition. but with
some of the other teams riddled by
draft it should be runaway for the
titleholders If they themselves are not

 As to Great Britains war aims, the premier referred the conference to his speech on the adjournment of parlia- ment, and expressed the hope that this speech would remove any misunder- standing.

 We accepted the challenge thrown down by Prussia the letter continued, in order to free the world once and all from the intolerable menace of militaristic civilization and to make possible a, lasting peace by resorting the liberty of oppressed nationalities and by enforcing respect for those laws and treaties which are the protection of all nations, whether great or small.
 The premier concluded that he was never more convissed that the purposes for which the allies were continuing the war were not imperialistic or vindic tive. but that their achievement was essential to the future freedom and peace of mankind.
