MEMBERS OF BRAVES
WILL RUN OUT HITS
No loafing Between Home Plat
ter and Initial Bag.
Incident In Exhibition Game Demon.
strates That There 10 Always
Chance for Unexpected-Is-
bells Reputation Saved. !.

The members of the Boston Braves
are running 'em out this season.
There's no loafing between the home
platter and first base.
II isn't because every member OF
the braves doesn't know that he
should hotfoot IL to first on every
ball he hits either. The Braves know
ball that looks like made-to-order
putout, or fly ball that Is about to
drop into "well."
But an incident that happened this
spring during an exhibition game be-
tween the Braves and Yankees at
Charlotte, n. c., made a lasting inn
preston on the Braves, and what
George Stallings said-deleted by the
censor-will last even longer.
Big Ed Konetchy slapped hot sin
gle TO right field in the eighth inning
or the game In question. II was a
clean hit If there ever was one, but
as Honey didn't figure he could get
farther than first base he took his
time running II out. Result was that
Honey went to sleep for about two Sec
onds, and in those two seconds Frank
Gllhooley scooped up the ball and
threw the big fellow out at first base
by about two feet.
Honey was not only robbed OF hit,
but his professional pride was pretty
badly bent, and what he heard In the
way of oratOry from the direction of
the bench will not be forgotten. All
the other members of the Braves saw
the play and heard what Stallings hat
TO say, so they are not liable to for
get TO run 'em out. They've run out
number Of long foul drives already.
The incident of Honey being thrown
out recalls game played by old tim
.ers at San Antonio, Tex. several year,
ago during the meeting there of thu
National association. Old Bald Eagl,
lsbell OF White Sox fame, was in tn,
game. He singled cleanly to right feel,
and stumbled as he started towart
first base. The right fielder's throw
beat 1zzy to first by about a step. an,
when Izzy saw he was out he yelled t
The first baseman to drop the throw.
"Muff II, you big stiff; muff it,
shouted Ivy, cor my reputation
ruined. Remember, I'm the only gu
that ever got four two-baggers in
worlds series game"
And the first baseman muffed 1t.

There is something about the wor-

harmonious blending OF shades and
the atmosphere of solemnity which
pervades the spacious interior.
