Covering a period of 10 seasons.
Wagner went to bat 321 times

Boston, Mass, Jan. lin assum-

Any position in the race other than

will be satisfied with nothing worse than
sixth in his first year and would like
to head the second division.
Chances biggest problem is his in

I have seen any number of great
pitching feats in world series games.
Joe Wood, now baseball coach al
Yale, performed a masterpiece in the
final inning of the first game of the
series of 1912 between the Boston Red
Sox and New York Giants.
In the last of the ninth with the score
standing 4 to 8 in favoring of Boston,
Wood faced desperate situation with
New York runners on second and third
and only one out. A base hit meant
the ball game.
Wood, who appeared t. be weakening,
put every ounce of his remaining
strength on each ball pitched and furn-
ished a nerve-racking finish to a thrill
ing game by striking out Fletcher and
Crandall.
1t was a remarkable exhibition OF
pinch pitching. Wood had been forced
to go at top speed throughout the game.
as shown by the fact that eleven of the
Giants went out on strikes.
However, in my opinion, to Hod Eller.
then with the Cincinnati club, goes the
honors for the most remarkable streak
OF pitching l have ever seen in world
series game.
Eller's memorable feat came in the
fifth game of the 1919 series between
Chicago and Cincinnati.
In the second inning OF that game.
which Cincinnati won by the score of
5 to 0, Filler retired Gandl. Risberg
and Schalk in succession over the
strikeout route.
In the third inning he repeated the
performance of the previous session by
setting Williams, Liebold and Eddie
Collins in order.
The spell was broken when the sew
enth man to face him grounded out to
the infield. Eller had performed the
extraordinary feat ~ retiring six Of
the hard-hitting White Sox in success

sion on strikes. Only few of the
strikes were called. In most casts the
batsman took healthy swing and miss !.
ed by wide margin.
Some of the lustcr of the performance
was taken away by the fact that Eller'
used trick delivery. He 30 roughene1.
the ball by use of emery paper, said toi

was able TO make the ball take all

At that time trick pitching was PEI

following year trick pitching was bar
red. Eller. who depended on that style
entirely, drifted 20 the minors.
