BULLSEYES OF
BASEBALL

In the 20 years have been UNI
bring | have seen hundreds of re-
narkable plays.
Some OF the plays have been per.
'ormed by outfclders, although ma
ority of them go to the credit of
The infelders. And then again
awe seen the catchers--yes, even the
pitchers, turn in same brilliant piece
If fielding to feature game.
The element of luck very oftc,
plays Il prominent part in the com
.)letion of some brilliant play, Jimmy
McAleer, in his day one Of the game
greatest outiicldcrs, once told me
hat the greatest catch he ever made
was largely an accident. Here is
the way Jimmy tells. it.
"Just before the ball was pitched
I noticed the glove Of the outfieldar
playing my position on the othc.
team was laying in such a position
that it annoyed me and I started in
to remove It from my path. AS /
logged in the ball was delivered to
the batter, who hit liner to center
field.
Had / been playing my proper
position, it would have been suicide
to try to make the catch. | would
have merely held the hit to single.
Having started in to remove the
glove, | continued to come in after
4 the ball / made shoe strint
catch, did couple of somersaults,
came UP with the ball and the game
was saved.
1T was heralded as the greatest
catch Of my career, when in reality
Il pulled the play largely through
accident"
To my way OF thinking, the credit
for the most sensational play | ever
saw on the ball field goes to Bill
Wambsganss. second baseman of the
Cleveland Americans.
More difficult plays have been
staged. but for great many reasons
Bill Wambsganss' triple play, unas-
sisted, stands out as the most sen
sational stunt l ever saw pulled.
The setting helped to m k e
Wamby's play great. The stunt was
pulled in the world series of 1920.
With Cleveland enjoying COM
Portable lead, Brooklyn was battling
gamely to cut it down. Jim Bagby
was doing the pitching for Cleve-
land, being hit hard but was getting
away with it.
The first two men up for Brooklyn
got on-Miller was on first, Kilduif
on second. Mitchell, the Brooklyn
pitcher, hit line drive toward right
cented. 1t looked like real base
hit. The runners were in morion at
the crack of the bat.
Wambsganss leaped in the air,
made a wonderful catch of the ball,
ran few feet to second, touching
that base and retiring Kildutf. then
Miller out on the line, fer
triple play, snufiing out Brooklyn
rally.
/ doubt if there will ever be a play
that will equal Wambys feat as far
as its sensational features are con-
cerned.
