FLACK'S ERROR
AIRED WITH
OTHER "bONERS'
Cub 0utfieIder Joins Quartet
with Zimmerman, Snod-
grass and MerkIe in
Stove League.

Chicago, Sept. 28.-Caesar, as Pat.
rick Henry said, had his Brutus;
Charles l, his Cromwell, and, as the
orator of Revolutionary days failed
to mention, the managers of various
runner-up clubs in the world series
have, in nearly every case, someone
on whom to unload the blame for
defeat.
The series just c1osed-the last
for the duration of the war and be-
lieved by some to have been the last
for all time-added another name to
the list of superlative unfortunates
whose sins of omission and commits
sion have made them targets for
the gibes of fandom throughout the
country.
Conrad Macmillan Flack, Cub out
fielder, is the unfortunate individual
whose error will be remembered as
long as the "hot stove" league meets
to rehght former base ball battles
and he numbers fourth among the
inen whose wobbles dissipated their
clubs dream of world dominion il,
the field of sport aud gained nation
wide attention, Merkle, Snodgrass
and Zimmerman are the other men,
bers of the quartet.
Flack probably will be known as
the Second Snodgrass." Strangely
enough, his error was perpetrated
on the same field and within few
yards of where the Giant outhelder
made his historic muff in 1912. 1t
was even more costly than Snod-
grass bobble, for Fred's merely
paved the way to victory, while
Flack's let in two runs; winning
runs, in the crucial game OF one of
the most bitterly fought series ever
staged.
Flack Muffs Drive.
In the third inning of the final
game Tyler wavered. He passed
Mays-an unheard of contretemps-
but was able tc get Hooper. Again
he crumbled and Shean walked.
Strunk was out and the Cubs tool;
heart again. when Whiteman, hero
of the series, sent a long fly to
Flack, whose canny fielding and
mighty arm had proved a distinct
asset in games gone before. And
Flack muffed. In romped Mays and
Shesn and the eagles of victory
rerched upon the banners of the
Red Sox. \ ~
1t is noteworthy that all three OF
the other plumbers put crimps
i'll the campaigns of John McGraw,
manager OF the New York Giants.
Probably the most famous of ali
was Mert'e's "boner" in 1907. not
committed in worlds series, Blu,
Omaha daily bee., 1918-09-30

which cost the Giants the peanant
and a chance to try conclusions
with the Athletics, then in their
prime. 1t was Merkle's failure to
touch second and John Evers' quick
comprehension of the hlunder which
gave the Cubs the dee siag game
of the series and the pennant. e,...
Again in 1912, the failure of Nc
Graw's legions to play in form COM
mensurate with their training cost
them the series. In the eighth game
at Boston Snodgrass, a tower Of
strength both in the field and at bat,
dropped Engeps easy fly. Ir-itself
the bobble was not necessarily fatal,
but it marked the beginning of run
of i'll fortune which cost the Giants
the title.
"Zim's" Foot Race.
Heinie Zimmerman, transplanted
from Chicago's west side park to
New York, in 1916 completed the
quartet. He classes with Merkle,
in that the error was one of Judg-
ment, rather thap. being unavoidable.
The plays for both Merkle and Tim
norman are classed by the base ball
public generally as "boners, pure and
simple" while Snodgrass and Flack
are excused in a measure on the
ground that ill-luck is likely to fasten
itself on any bail player, at any time,
inside or outside a1world series.
In the tllird game of last years
series, with two men on for the
White Sox-Eddie, Collins on thirda-
the batter bounded an=easy one to
the infeld and The Giants were try-
ing hard for EAeubEe play. One man
was out when the rally started and
the batter had been nabbed at frstI
while the 7ll was. relayed. to I'm,
norman. Il
Instead. of returning to third, COZ
Inns started home. Frantic efforts
of his teammates to persuade Heinie
to\ throw to McCarty at the plate,
failed to penetrate Zimmerman's
consciousness. Never noted for his
speed, Heinie, nevertheless, was i'm
bued with the idea that he could out
run Eddie Collins at any time, ,undef
any circumstances. He tore down the
base line toward the plate in pur-
suit of the Sox second baseman who
gained at every jump. The race ter
minated with Collins several lengths
in the lead with the winning run and
the Giants never threatened again.
The remark of Herzog, the Giant
shortstop, has gained almost as wide
circulation as the story of thinner
mans bobble.
Look" shouted Buck, hurting his
glove in the air; Look at that big
Dutch boob chasing $500 out of
the park"
Thirty-fve hundred dollars was
the winners share.

I WINNING GAME
IN HOT FINISH
Championship Of Greater
Omaha Won When Armours
and LongWays Meet in
Final Round.

The title of amateur champions of
Omaha was won yesterday by the
IMurphy-Did-Its when they drove
1Manske, ex-Western league pitcher,
from the box and defeated the Long
ways of Council Bluffs, 7 to 2. Add
ed to the title was the gate receipts
from four games amounting to
5000. go.
A crowd estimated at $500 attend
ed the championship game between
the three Greater Omaha league
teams. AS the tension as to whom
would finally win increased the
crowd grew until it was said to be
the largest ever in attendance at an
amateur game between local teams.
Playing Off Tie.
At the close of the season the
Murphy's, Arinours and Longways
were tied. A six-game playoff, each
team playing a double header with
the other two teams was then tried
and resulted in another tie. After
a conference last week, yesterdays
double header was decided upon and
a coin was tossed for playing posi-
tions. The Armours and Longways
played the first game and the Muir
phys the winners.
The Armours grabbed off one
run lead in the second inning which
only seemed to infuriate the Long
ways, vino rushed back in, the third
and hammered in FIVE runs which
proved sufficient to elect them to
play the second game. Stillmock
was the unfortunate man on the
mound when the batting rally start
ed and was relieved for the balance
Of the game by League, who held
the Bluffs boys scoreless. The pack
ers gathered in two more runs in
the eighth but the lead was too big.

FOOD INCREASE I

Says WAFFLE
Food Increased Three ant

The nations food bill increased
just three and one-half per cent dur

ton coming to Gurdon w. Wattles
Federal food administrator for Ne.

tiers.
Records compiled in Washington
are based on quarters and are d.
vided according to different lines of
foodstuffs. These figures, showing
the nations food bill, are arrived al
by taking the wholesale price and
computing the consumption at these
| prices.
For the second quarter Of 1918.
the total expenditure aggregated 81 \

$25.4l.
Corresponding quarters in 10
showed these expenditures: Secol
quarter, $2,563,6O0,904, per capil
$2473; first quarter, $25.6.
These expenditures are distribute
among the various commodit5

Breadstuffs, $349;625,283; ve,S

localities certain food products show

Ralph L. SPOTS. on two occasions
the amateur champion trapshooter
of the United States at 200 targets,
has been appointed a member of the
American Red Cross trophy COM
mittee as the representative of the
trapshooters of America and it will
fall to the lot OF Mr.. SPOTS to SUI
pervise all trapshooting competitions
for Red Cross trophies.
Trapshooting, golf and tennis are
the sports that have done most for
the Red Cross in a financial way,
Tournament after tournament has
been held andzthe receipts turned
over to the Red Gross so that hui
mainly may be aided. The Red
Cross appreciates this aid and in
turn is giving trophies TO the win
ners of Red Cross events. Gun clubs
and trapshooters planning Red
Cross events can get in touch with
Mr.. SPOTS at los Hudson street,
New York.
A notable absentee at the Grand
American handicap tournament this
year was Mrs. Ad. Topperwein, the
professional shot. 1t has been many
years since Mrs. "Topp" failed to
grace Grand American.
Shooting was taught at nearly all
of the boys camps this season.
Young America is awake to the sit
uation and preparedness is now the
watchward.
There will be a new Indian"
trapshooting organization doing
business next season. 1t will be
known as the Atlantic Indians. 1t
will be a select organization. A
membership committee has been
named for each state on the Atlantic
coast. The idea is to make it an
honor to be member of the organi-
cation. The annual shoot and meet
ing will be held at a seaside or
mountain resort in the east or south.
