bat at the start Of the sixth inning and
he pretended to think that Tesrcau

telling him he could not get the ball
over the plate. Carey stood holding
his bat with the end resting on the
ground and dared Tcsreau TO pitch
over tho plate. Tcsreau heaved a fast

and raced for first. The ball bounded
straight to Tesreau or the trick would

caught natfoOted. Everett fifteen or
more years ago used TO make the same
play. Save that he hunted with the
small end of his bat, and he used to
get away with II once or twice against
a club in tho circuit each season.
