was fortunate enough to make an
even better shot than this In the
qualifying round of the 1923 national
open at Inwood.
To my mind it all goes to prove
that it is foolish to be cast down
when things go wrong.
Once a bad play is made, forget 1t
and put your mind on not repeating
1t.

come your way.

In the recent world series there
was play of Meusels which, had
it not turned out successfully,
would have cost his club some
$4,000. In the 1912 series Fred
Snodgrass of the Giants muffed a
fly ball and because of that his
club lost the pennant and $4,000
besides. In 1908 Fred Merkle
failed to touch second base and
his mistake cost the Giants S5,-
600 and each player about $500.
These financial turns of the
wheel of fortune in base ball show
how complicated the game has
become. By the side of it base
ball in its infancy was indeed an
infant.
At the time the Knickerbock-
ers of New York were estab-
lished there were two games of
ball in vogue. New England
would have nothing to do at first
with ball as she was played in
New York, and it was just as
bitter vice versa. To the credit
of the New York game it must be
said that it was nearer the game
as we know it today, though both
in New York and in Boston they

JOHN BLACK TELLS:
The Best Iron Shot Ever Saw

my iron plays to the green, as these
two instances and another, which
will now relate, attest.
The day before the qualifying
round at Inwood. playing a practice
round, my drive on the 425-yard
eighteenth hole left me good $50
yards from the pin.
The eighteenth is not a particular
ly hard hole. To get on the green
you have to cross water hazard,
which they call the Lauder" while
voiding pond on the right, but
there's plenty of room on all sides Of
the flag, and if you get a straight
ball you don't ordinarily have trouble
on your second shot.
On this day my midiron sent the
ball straight for the pin. 1t holed for
birdie two.

opportunity before me, failed to

deed does it sound that wooden
stakes were needed for bases;
that one or two men were al
lowed behind the catcher to field
for him, SO to speak, in case he
allowed any ball to pass him.
They did not use a diamond, but
played in a square and the bases
were called bounds. To make the
four bases was to make round
or tally, and the players at the
bat took their knocks" The
jected four feet from the ground,
an instrument of torture for the
modern player, who wants bag
sufficiently inviting to break the
fall when a slide is necessary.
There were referees and tally
men, for a round of the bases
counted as one tally and seventy
tallies. counted a game.
AS in the New York game,
however, there were indications
that the New England game had
possibilities for future develop
ment. The men who came to the
bat in those days used to stall a
game numerically. Pitchers
served balls until the muscles of
their pitching arms fairly quiv-
cred with pain. But the 1860
Massachusetts rules put a stop
to this procedure; balls allowed
to pass that were considered
good were called strikes, and
three of them meant out" One
of the sport writer's of the day,
having his curiosity aroused by
the shape of the bat, said in an
article, the players have bats or
sticks something of the form of
a policeman's truncheon.'
The fan of those days who wit
messed a New York game or
Massachusetts, game was treated
to curious proceedings. Many
was the time base runner was
carried from the field, the ball
having soaked him in the ribs and
left several broken Many was
the time fielder whipped his cap
from his head, thus catching the
bail. Soak a man with ball to-
day and see what the umpire
would say; resort to cap catch
ing and hear the modern fan
roar. The square field of the
Massachusetts, game was a relic
of four-old cat or town ball.
