Mansfield Starts It.

Two weeks ago, in his Memory Test"
feature on the back cover Of The Sun
day Stars magazine section, Cartoonist
Dick Mansfield asked:
who was the first Washington ball
player to catch q base ball thrown
from the Washington Monument"
That's simple" chorused the fans,
Everybody knows that Gabby Street
was the guy"
The surprise was general when, last
Sunday, Mansfield's answer gave the
name Of Phil Baker and the date as
January 8, 1885.
Thousands had never heard of Phil
Baker. The hoary old-timers recalled
him as q f1rst-class catcher; some re-
membered him as the man who first
tried to catch ball from the Monu-
ment. A few maintained that Mans
field was correct.
Newspaper files were thumbed dill
gently.
They revealed substantially what you
have Just read.
The question is: Did Baker hold the
horsehide long enough to constitute
legal catch? Rules of the diamond
game require that the ball be held only
"momentarily" to complete a play.
