WHEN POP ANsoN FELL
 VICTIM TO KID TRICK

There have been many freak and tricky plays in baseball, but there was one engineered years ago by the late Buck Ewing and George Gore, two popular Giants of the early eight ies, in which Pop Anson, the famous old leader of the Chicago White Stockings, fell a victim The play took place on the old Polo Ground, then located at 10th street and, Fifth avenue. The performance stood out as one of the smartest pieces of baseball strategy at that time. Gore had been let out by AnSon. and, while he did not object to playing with the Giants, he looked upon his transfer as re- fiection on his playing and so was de- termined to get even with his old boss. He never overlooked a chance when one came along.
 In the game in which this freaky two all. Anson led off in the sixth inning with a two-base hit along the third base line and then proceeded to 1 take a long lead off second. Pfeffer was the next batter and as he was i natural left field hitter the outfitld i was drawn way over in that direc- i ton, the right fielder being almost at | the centre field position. while Gore in | centre was drawn well in. almost back of the infield, the left fielder. of course, playing his field very deep. l That was the situation as Anse hop l ped about between second and third, anxious to get. off with the crack of 1 the bat. And right here is where the cunning Gore and the brilliant Ewing worked the cruel trick on the Chi l cago boss. The coachers were below | ing instructions to Anson, but for | some reason or other never noticed that Gore was creeping closer and closer to the infield with every move of the pitcher.
 Then, all of a sudden, with the sig nals working in absolute harmony Gore was seen to race directly to the seccnd base, and Ewing, having start ed his throw the moment Gore raced toward the base, the big Chicago cap. tain was trapped. Ewing's throw wa! a perfect one, and IS the astonishet
 Anse plunged toward the base thers
 was Gore waiting for him with the
 ball.
 The whole thing happened so fas
 that many of the spectators missed
 the play, but when it dawned upor
 them that Anson had been thrown ou
 nt second base and that the centr,
 fielder had taken the throw they gay
 Anse great jolly. Of course, Cor.
 was the happiest man in the ball park
 tor he got even with his old leader.
