(By Billy Evans)

Back in 1908 Fred Mcrkle failed to touch second in game with Chicago, Had he donc so 1t would have won the game. instead 1t ended in a tie.
 The race for that year also ended in tie. It was necessary to play over the game New York should have won. The Giants lost and with the defeat went the chance to play in the series,
 Here was the situation in that game Score tie, last of ninth. two out, runners on first and third Merkle was on first.
 The batsman singled, apparently scoring the winning run. Merkle. on first, went to within 10 feet of second and then raced for the Giants clubhouse.
 Evers, playing second for Chicago, finally got the ball and touched second base. Since Merkle failed to do so, 1t simply made a force play at second, retiring the side and erasing the winning run, and no run can score on force third out.
 Merkle, brainy ball player. merely overlooked a slight technical ity, failure to touch q base. It happens scores of times every year in the majors,
 Because his error caused the loss of the pennant, and with it thou sands of dollars, it has gone down in history as a collosal bone.
 Merkle became an object of rid- cule in the baseball world. A Jess courageous player would have quit. but Merkle lived it down.
 Now the So-called bone head" Morkle has been hired by no less a person than Miller Huggins to be his assistant at New York, a member of his board of strategy. A fitting tribute to his ability.
