margin of seven seconds. The effort.
however. was NOT enough 10 bring
him victory. strong field had been

markable at that for a ten-lap track.
II was only three and four-fifths sec

had flashed at the Wilso games on
Saturday. and on an eight-lap track
the Chica goan might have beaten his
own mark. He went after his field
with great show of speed at the
crack of the gun and gained appre
clably on Ritola and the rest, but.
after travelling mile and reaching
sixth place, Ray seemed to slacken
pace a Bit.

IN describing the greatest hit !
ever saw it is necessary to de-
termine what constitutes a great
hit-its bearing on the result, or
the mere force OF the wallop. The
several correspondents who have
asked this question did not give a
definition OF what they considered a
great or historic hit.
To me the greatest hit is the most
timely hit. That makes the answer
comparatively easy. The single made
by AL Bridwell in that famous game
with the Cubs in 1908. when Merkle
failed to touch second. stands out in
my memory as the greatest.
That particular line drive won the
pennant of 1908. though we did not
get it. / have never weakened in my
opinion that the awarding of that
pennant to the Cubs on a technicality
was unjust Bridw ellis hit really won
the championship.
Had Chance 10 Win Flag.
Very likely fans of today remember
that famous incident clearly. There
were two out at the time and Merkle
on third. Rridwell came to bat with
the chance of winning a pennant
staring him in the face.
AL was not the least disturbed by
the Importance of the moment. In
fact, Bridwell was one of the gamest
players / ever knew. We all had a
hunch that he was going to nail the
ball, and. sure enough, he did. 1t was
a clean line smack to center
Mccormick scored from third with
the winning run and then the trouble
started.
While 7 am on the subject, even
though I am a little ahead OF my
story. this is good place 10 describe
just what happened that afternoon
that day that still keeps an important
spot in base ball history. Here is eN-
actly what happened:

Sikh has got a hurdle in March a
bout with Mike McTigue who has
been knocking them cold in England
for about a year. The mixup is set
for March and will take place in Dub
lin. The Senegalese will outweigh
Mike nearly thirty pounds, but ex-
perts who have watched the negro in
action think that a pugilist of Nc
Tgue's stripe can afford to give the
wild man this much weight.
Sikh, on the other hand, has sur
prised the sporting world more than
once. If he slows Mike away then
there is little doubt that Dempsey
will receive a handsome offer to sail
for France and uphold the fistic
laurels of the white race.

Having shown that he could have
reached the bag had he wanted to. he
turned off and ran to the clubhouse.
He did not really touch the bag.

he did, at the time.
In a moment there was consterna-

1t seemed that a similar play had
been made by the Cubs week or SO

McGinnity, who also had run out,
grappled with kroh. In the meantime
the crowd was surging and milling
about them and Johnny Evers was
wildly waving his arms at second
base.
McGlnnity Threw Ball Away.
Joe McGinnity finally got the ball
away from Kroh and threw it into

that had been hit.
