Baseball's Prize
Bonehead Plays

Usually failure to follow some
eimnle rule of baseball produces the
worst kind of bonehead plays on
the hall field.
NNinety-nine times out of a nun
bred the failure to properly com
plete the play, is cot due to lack OIL
knowledge on the part OF some
player.
Failure to touch a base is the
easiest way to create a honehead
Ilay. AS long as baseball is played
players will continue to tail to touch
the bases.
If such failure does not prove
costly, the omission is 500 forgot
ten. Otherwise the careless player
goes. Gown in history in the list
OF "bcl.eheads."
In all probability the most costly
failure to touch a base is charged to
Fred Merkle.
Chicago was playing New YORK.
1t was the ninth inning. the score
was tied. two were out. and runners
We're on first and third. Merkle,
then playing first base for the
Giants. was the runner on first.
The batsman hit cieanly to The
outfeld, and the runner logged
across Ole plate with what was APP
rarently the deciding run. Merkie,
on first, ran within a few feet of
second. and seeing the runner had
crossed the plate, dashed for the
clubhouse.
Johnny Evers, playing second for
Chicago. called for the ball. which
was thrown to him by Hoffman. In
the meantime the crowd was surging
on the field. Evers touched second
and Merkle was called out. His
failure to touch the bag. simply
made a force play at second.
This retired the side and the rules
state no runs can cor on a play
in which the third out is a force
Play. That erased the run that
apparently had won the game.
The game was never finished as
II ended in a tie score. New York
and Chicago tied in the pennant race
that year. 1t was necessary to play
an extra game to decide the cham
picnship. Chicago won the game
and the right to play in theNseries.
Meikle's bone" vas the costliest
ever made. Had he touched second
the Giants would have won The
remnant. The me would have
realized a small fortune and each
player a fancy figure.
