NEW YORK, April 29.-Boasting

: Star Catcher Of the Chicago
White Sox.

SAar Satcner OF the ChieaEo
White Sox.
1t always is a great game of
baseball when there is a fight
on both sides for one run. In
May, 1918. I took part in such
a contest when the White Sox
were playing in Washington.
Walter johnson. going in his
best style, was pitching for
Washington. williams was on
the rubber for the White Sox.
We battled for eighteen innings
before a single run was scored,
and during that time there were
a dozen spectacular plays. Out
fielders ran back and made won
derful, almost impossible
catches. InfieIders performed
lightning plays. But of course
it was the superb pitching on
both sides that was mainly re-
sponslDle Tor the long battle.
The break finally came in the
last half of the eighteenth when
Washington got a man on third.
Williams put everything he had
on the ball. trying to fool the
next batter up. One of his curves
went wild. 1t shot past me. The
man on third tore in to home,
safe. 1t was the only run in the
game.
1t certainly was hard to dose
a game like that.
One of the most remarkable
things about it was the fact that
only eighteen men took part,
neither side at any time sending
in a pinch hitter or a substitute.
