Two unusual plays in that gam
are causing the fans lots Of annoy
anee, and sehade and Al Blanehsf
are the men about whom opinion
diner
In one inning sehade raced dow
toward first base and when the bate
hit TO the shortstop and the latte
turned 10 throw 10 second for double
there was no one there 10 receive tn
ball.
Come think sehade erred. otheri
think he did right. Those saying NJ
erred claim that with a right handed
batter up he should have expected
a hit 10 the left side OF the fieid and
been ready 10 cover his bag. Those
backing his move claim that he raced
for first 10 cover the bag since II was
fair to assume that the Pirate hitter
would bunt
II Just seems TO be matter OF
Judgment, with schndo trying 10 out
EufSh inc nhitfft phh hh' 'ethNs 49,
guessing him by hitting.
ON the other play with n man on
first and none down, q grounder was
hit TO Al Blanchard near first. Al dis
regarded the initial sack and threw
10 second. but Barnett dropped the
ball and all were safe. Some hold Al
should have tagged first before throw
ing. since he was SO near. others
hold, and quite right, that the play,
with none down. was TO second re-
: CARELESS of first. Had II been per-
feet play all would have been well.
Yesterdays Besse-Corbin game fur
nished bit of a crab-fest In the
fourth inning. Nom Begley raced a
bunt to first but was thrown out.
Travers was racing in from third ana
as Nom approached the bag and just
as HI Blanchard was TO throw home
for double play Nom threw up his
arms, interfering with the play and
spelling the chance of two putouts.
Many fans booed Nom for 81 play,
claiming that he did 1t on pi';'pose and
scoring him for unsportsmanshlp
playing.
1t is not probable, however, that
Nom did this intended unsportsman-
ship play. 1t appears that in the eX-
citement she acted without thinking. |.
Nom always has been a clean, sports
manlke player and always has had
good reputation for fair play. 1t is
unfair to assert that he Intentionally
interfered with the play.
Yesgs Patrous. former Corbin sec
ond baseman, is back after success
full season with the northern New.
York league where he had good
record with Ticonderoga.
Today, it's Lefty Palmer's turn to
laugh at the Red Sox. They had their
innings a week ago. Lefty's hooks
we're working good yesterday.
Landry and Corbin furnished out
field thrills yesterday with their daz-
cling catches. Two good outfielders, +,
those boys. }
In the seventh inning all three bats !
men to face Bergs hot sizzlers to Wo- j
lax, bdt Chuck was there every time '
and it was one, two, three, over to
Al and out.
The series are proving more popu- ),
ar each week, and today the COM 4
nent is heard: We'll, l hope Corbins l.
vim next week. Not that it makes IS
my difference to me, but that will r r
make it necessary to play another I
,ame and we'll see some more good S
