A MERKLE PLAY
ON WHITE SOX
Exact Duplicate of Famous
1908 Incident Is
Staged
BY 1. E. SANBORN.

Fourteen years is a long time. be-
tween plays in baseball. but that is
the period that elapsed before the
historic Merkle stunt was repeated
n major leagues at least. Con-
sidering the number Of games played
in thai time history certainly was de-
hberate in the matter of an encore.
There are 1892 contests scheduled
IN III big leagues every veal and all
except a few Of them are played off.
That means 1928 games in fourteen
seasons and you would think a play
would come up oftener than that.
It was in 1908 that Merkle forgot
to touch second and lost a pennant
for New York's Giants by the over
sight. Last month Joe Dugan of the
Red Sox committed the same gauch-
erie. but it is not likely to rob Bos-
ton of the 1922 American league pen
nant.
Perhaps that was the reason Dugan
wa almost Immediately traded of to
the Yankees. Frazee and Duffy may
have figured that the eccentric star
belonged in New York, where he
would have a chance to forget again,
when 1t might cost something more
than a mere ball game.
Dugan's Slip Not Costly.
1t isn't certain hat Dugan's slip
cost the Red Sox anything. but it
did cost Shauno Collins a two base
hit and everybody-except possibly
Dugan-regrets that. The White Sox
had the game won, S to 2, in the
eighth inning when the play came of.
Two were out in the Boston half
when Dugan singled. Shauno follow
made two bases on it, out Dugan neg
lected the formality of touching Sec
ond base on his way to the plate and
the oversight was detected by Um-
pire Brick Owens as well as by Capt.
Collins of the White Sox.
Hooper's return throw was relayed
to Collins by Shelly. Dugan was de-
clared out on a force play. retiring
