pitchers head, bouncing high into the
air. Hubbell collapsed in the pitching
box as if he had been shot.
Immediately his teammates rushed
to the fallen player and were followed
by players from the Brooklyn bench.
For fully five minutes an effort was
made to revive Hubbell. Then, still
unconscious, he was carried to the
clubhouse. where finally he regained
consciousness.
The accident came so suddenly that
many of the fans in the grandstand

The game was resumed when Jess
