athlete who pulled the stunt and
showed him up before the multitude.
1t is strange. but true, that one can
condone a mistake that he has made
through his own fault far more than
some glaring error that is turned
through a move on the part of the
opposition. The hiddenbal1 trick is
not at all common. but each major
league campaign produces a couple
of spots where some player in
mighty critical situation falls the
victim.
Last year ] was umpirng a game at
Boston in which Jimmy Austin of the
st. Louis club pulled the ''hdden-ball
trick for the final out of the game. He
did 1t so smoothly that a big majority
of the crowd didn't know what had
actually happened. They simply figured
that since both teams and the umpires
were leaving the field, the game must
be over. The st. Louis club up to the
last half Of the ninth had held a fairly
safe lead. Then the Boston club staged
a rally that had the big crowd in an up
roar. The Red Sox had climbed to
within run Of tie. and had runner
on third and two out. A base hit. an
error. a passed ball or a wild pitch
meant tie score. and a chance to win
game that a few minutes before had
seemed beyond recall. On the play that
sent the runner to third. Jimmy Austin
had in some manner got the ball and
secreted It in his glove AS the runner
took his customary lead. Austin 1unged
at him. touched him with the ball. the
umpire ruled him out and the game was
over. 1t left the crowd in a daze. and
Of course sent many a patron of the
game away with rather disguised feel
ing at the sudden turn of events.
The pulling of the play caused storm
Of protest from the Boston press over
the happening. 1t was not because the
play had spoiled Boston's chances. but
a criticism actuated by a spirit of fair
play. 1t was argued that the hidden
ball trick" was decidedly unsportsman-
like. The same argument would have
been advanced had it been pulled by
Boston player. / have three times
seen the play happen in Boston. On
the two other occasions Boston play
ers turned the trick. yet the same
point of view was taken. OF course
the very first rule in base ball, is to
never lose sight of the ball. Know
where the ball Is. and you will stay
out of trouble has always been a truth
of the ball field. To be a victim of the
hidden-ball trick. means that coacher.
runner-in fact. every one directly
interested-has slipped up on one of
the cardinal principles of the game.
Is the trick unsportsmantike? have
heard some of the leading lights of
the game say emphatically yes. while
others take oec1oeo view 10 the con-
trary. 1t has been argued that the
''hidden-ball trick" should be elimin-
ated. 1 have my doubts. even though
it often creates a displeasing situa-
ton. as it did in the Boston game.
Doing away with the stunt would in
a way. erase the premium that is now
placed on keeping ones head up. and
being alive to the situation. How
ever. there are two sides to the hid
den ball trick. What do you think
about it?

Doyle said he might take part in this

for Columbia in the Washington Ten

from the Chevy Chase tourney would
rob the event of local flavor. AS the
play will be confined to mems singles
