Eddie Roush, of Cincinnati, still
uncertain as toN his official batting
average, has just discovered that
he is the only man in base ball his
tory who knocked himself out of
an undisputed claim to the batting
championship by making a great
catch. Impossible, you say? Not at
all. USUALLY great catches knock
the hostile batsman out of base hits,
but Roush knocked himself out OF
the leading honors.
He made a desperate stumbling
catch of a fly in a protested game
in which he had made two >hits.
was thrown out of the records en-
tirely because. Of the doubt whether
Roush's catch constituted a mo-

gled the ball before he gripped it:
