DEPRIVED OF HOMER
Torporcer Hits Ball Over Fence, But Runner on First Base Fails to Leave That Bag.

New York. June 1T.-Jo ohm Heydler, president of the National league, vs- tied the game in Brooklyn yesterday and told of most peculiar happening at that record hitting contest between the Cardinals and the Phillies, which he saw early in the week at Philadel- phia. Heydler declared that it was the only thing of it's kind he yet had witnessed-so it must be sui generis. It's a yarn about a man hitting the ball over a fence for a home run, and yet not getting even a single.
 The victim was Torporcer, the be- spectacled pinch hitter Of the Cards. There were two Cardinals on base, with Lavan on first. Torporcer crashed the ball over the right field wall, but Lavan, thinking that the leather would be caught, did not leave his base. Torporcer, with an idea that the ball would strike the wall, ran like mad head down, intent on mak- ing second. Lavan remained on first and Torporcer passed him. Torporcer had to be called out-a home run gone to the dogs!
