The Bull Pups started the evening
off with clean win over the Bis
bee kittens, the final score being
16 to IL. It was not until 'Lanky'
Wheelin tossed a pair of baskets in
the final minute that the game was
won as the Kittens clawed their way
to lilo lead with two minutes to
play. Douglas scored first with a goal
but Bisbee evened up the count in a
moment and from then on the game
was nip and tuck all the way. Doug
las led at the half 8-5 but lost the
lead toward the close of the third
quarter, only. to take a one point lead
toward the close of the game.
Wheelin, Levy, Saunders, Morrow
and Critchley all played well for the
winners, while Policy Medigovieh and
Wohley starred for the visitors.
Wheelin got his eye on the hoop
in the second half and kept his
team in the lead by spectacular
shooting when points were needed
most.

KILLIFER's BATTING FEAT

Batting offers the opportunity fol
more unusual situations than perhaps
any other feature of baseball.
In a previous article described how
Roger Peckinpaugll, recently appointed
manager of the Cleveland Indians, re-
ceived five bases on balls in one game
Getting five bases on balls in one
game is decidedly unusual, but the
manner in which Reckinpaugh regis
tered was even more So Not once die
he offer at a single ball. He never
once took his bat off his shoulder
Each time the count was three balls
and two strikes before he finally
walked.
Possibly it would have been better
had Peckinpaugh's performance beer
heralded as a hon-batting feat. II
keeping with Peck's peculiar day al
bat, that of afeaching first base five
successive times without being charged
with a time att bat and making ne
effort to hit the hall, was day which
Wade Killifer experienced back II
1910.
In five successive trips to the
plate KilIifer failed to reach first
base in single instance, wasn't
charged with time at bat, yet In
each case accomplished the thing
he set out to- do, move a runner
or runners up.

baseball, major league baseball at
least, where the same player made
five sacrifice hits in as many success

Just another example of the fact
that baseball is filled with uncer-
tainties, that it is dangerous to take
anything for granted.

MADE FOUR SACRIFICES

The many situations ltnaC come up
in a ball game seldom call for the
same player to sacrifice in his first
five times at bat. Yet that is just
what happened to Killifer.
4, I might add that he stretched his
unusual performance over part of two
games. AS I recall it, four sacrifices
is the record for one game. Killlfer
merely tied this mark, probably be-
cause he was up only four times in the
game and therefore really had no
chance to break it.
Washington and Detroit were the
contending clubs These two teams
were scheduled to play double-header
on August AZ, 1910, at washington.
The first game was a pitchers battle
and each of the four times Killifer
came to the bat in the opening battle,
proper baseball called for Washington
to play for a run, making it Killifer's
duty to lay down bunt.
When the opposition knows the
bunt is the play, because OF the
cIcseness of the score, the infield
sets itself for such procedure and
it isn't the easiest thing in the
world for the batsman to deliver.
HAPPENED ONLY ONCE
Yet, in this game, in which I hap
pened to be the umpire, Killifer on
four distinct occasions laid down what
is called in baseball perfect bunt.
While he was retired he advanced the
runner or runners, the task delegated
to him.
Unless my memory is in error, KILL
fer was in second position in the Wash
ington batting order. This is what is
known as the sacrifice spot. Yet, in
over % years of umpiring, this is the
only instance in over $500 games in
which I have seen the same player
called upon to bunt on four successive
trips to the plate and deliver each
time in the most approved manner.
Then to cap the climax to the un-
usual day, in the very first inning of
the second game, after the lead-ott
man had reached first in safety, proper
baseball again called for Killifer to
attempt his fifth bunt in row. once
again he turned the trick.
"*
All five bunts, by the way, were
down the third base line and SO
accurately placed there was no
chance to make play on the ad-
vancing runners, the team in the
field being fortunate to retire Kill
Iifer at first.
IL
NOTHING FOR GRANTED
1t wasn't until the fourth inning of
the second game that Killifer had a
chance to swing at the ball. AS far as
I know this is the only instance in
