HODGE AND WARD IN
ANCIENT IVORY PLAY
Chicago and New York Players
Figure in "Bonehead" Stunt.
White Sox Pitcher Thought Ball Was
Unfit to Play With and Threw 1t
Into Detroit Dugout-Ward
Atoned for MispIay.

Throwing the ball away without the
permission of the umpire is some
thing a bit new in the way of ivory
stuff.
In the old days, every now and
then some coacher would ask a rookie
pitcher to see the ball. Occasionally
the obliging rookie woulC throw it to
the coacher, who would Their let the
ball go by, while the runners dashed
for the plate.
The players to be involved in the
latest escapades of that sort were
Charley O,Ieary of the Yankees and
Bob Hasty of the Athletics.
Several years ago in a game at
the Polo grounds, with II on
second and third, OLeary, coaching
on third, requested Hasty to let him
look at the bail.
The umpire saved Hasty. Feeling
that he should pass judgment on the
ball if anything was wrong, the UNI
pire called time just before Hasty
obligingly tossed the ball to OLeary.
OF course, O'Leary stepped out of
the way and both runners scored.
However, the umpire sent them both
back, as he had previously called
time, ~suspending play.
Pitcher Hodge OF Chicago and Sec
ond Baseman Ward of New York fig
ured in two "bonehead plays" of 1922.
Due to the concrete stands. a ball
is usually rendered unfit for play
when it hits the rough concrete. If
the player discovers the ball is rough,
he is supposed to throw it to the UNI
pire for his inspection.
Failure to do that little thing caused
some very UNPLEASANT moments for
Hodge and Ward.
In a game at Detroit, with Chicago
leading by one run, Detroit got rum
ners on first and second. Hodge,
pitching, made up his mind that the
ball was unfit for play, and deliberate
ly threw it into the Detroit dugout.
The umpire in charge was forced to
score the runner from second and ad.
the other rune to third. That
runner also scored. Chicago man.
aged to win out with a run to spare.
so the bone" on the part of Pitcher
Hodge wasn't so costly as it might
have been.
On Decoration day in New York,
the Yankees were leading the Athlet-
les 2 to l up to the eighth. In that
inning with one down, Johnston sim
gled against the right-field wall. The
contact with the stand cut the ball
badly.
1t was thrown to Second Baseman
Ward, who, seeing that it was unfit for
play, threw it into the New York dug
out, which entitled Johnston to go to
third. He scored on a sacrifice fly, ty-
ing up the game.
Ward himself scored the winning run
in the last of the eighth, so he atoned
for his bull.

Deyore's Unique AIibi

In the matter of the most

ball player for making a bad
play, the prize has been awarded
to Josh Devore.

Devore exhibited his hands,

to catch that ball the u hit
