The climax play came in the fifth.
Kilduff, the first man up for the
Dodgers, singled to left. Miller fol-
lowed with a single to center which
sent Kilduff along to second. Up
stepped Clarence Mitchell to give
Bill Wambsganss the chance to write
his name largely and indelibly and
forever, in baseball's hall of fame.
Mitchell smashed a vicious liner
toward right center. 1t looked like
a center hit and both runners started
to sprint homeward. But Wambs-
ganss, by mighty leap, speaked the
ball with his gloved hand, and like
a lightning fash, darted for second.
He stepped on the bag, putting out
Kilduff, who by that time was nearly
turning for home. Then Wamby
looked for Miller and found him
right at his elbow, standing there
dazed by what was coming off. So
Wamby tagged him, retiring the
side.
For few seconds there was 81
lence in the stands. The startling
play was slow in seeping into the
brains of the mob. When 1t did, it
infiamed the multitude to the might
lest riot of frenzied cheering that
was ever witnessed.
Every man, woman and child in
the vast field, leaped to his feet and
began to yell. A thousand horns
barked and screeched, myrads Of
flags waved in wild fashion. Hats
were tossed into the air, canes were
tossed into the air. Men tore of
their coats and tossed them high and
other men, picking up those coats,
joined in the throwing.
