WHEN YEAGER
STOPPED BALL.
Fans Recall Star Local Player at Get
ting His Transportation to First
on Being Hit BY Pitched
Ball.

Speaking of batters getting hit By
pitched balls, Keokuk fans recall the
record of Charlie Yeager, veteran sec
ond sacker and manager Of the local
team in the Iowa state and Central
associations. "Yeag" was hit by a
pitched ball probably oftener than any
man in the league, and held the rec
ord among the local players.
There were times, fans recalled,
when Yeager's body was mass of
black and blue marks. He got the
ball usually around the shoulders and
upper arm, but frequently was struck
in the ribs and around the hips.
No one could recall his having been
beaned, however ''Yeag7 had a pc
culiar crouch at the plate, and he
seemed TO have a faculty Of holding
in a shoulder until the right moment
and then spreading out and getting
nicked with the ball.
AS lead OF man for the Indiana one
year he usually managed TO get hit
or work pitcher for q walk At IeaSt
