Bethel.
Meanwhile, Smith, noticing that third
was uncovered, amhled along to that
bag and anchored there. When Heinis
having served Bethel as an emergency
hatboy, arrived back at third and saw
Smith there, Heinie let loose a roar that
rivaled that Of a l6-inch gun.
Heinie ran over to the umpires and
demanded that they chase Smith back
to second. But the umpire gave Heinie
the razz.
