Street in various stories, has been
credited with suggesting the stunt, but
he says the idea originated with Pres
ton Gibson. Washington journalist and
playwright, a wearer OF the CroiX de
Guerre and reputed descendant OF Pat
rick Henry.
Gibson was an ardent base ball rooter
and suggested Street try the feat after
wagering with skeptical friends that it
could be done by the star young
backstop.
Gabby was willing, the arrangements
were made and Gibson, with IS base
balls, went to the top of the Monument
to do the tossing perSc nally. AS Gabby
tells it:
Gibson at first tried rolling the balls
out on a trough to give them good
start away from the Monument, which,
as you know is much broader at the
base than the tsp.
THE first few, however, hit the side
and bounced of. didn't get even close
to one or two others. Then we changed
sides, to get the benefit Of the wind. I
only tried four times altogether to
make the catch. AS luck would have
it. snagged the thirteenth and last
ball"
Others, including Streets rival, Billy
Sullivan Ct the White Sox, duplicated
the stunt but they got no more ballyhoo
out Of 1t than did the flyers who fol-
lowed Col. Lindbergh's transatlantic
trail.
So far as Street was concerned, the
ball he caught disappeared. This Sum-
mer, 1881, he received a letter from a

who had been rumma ging through her
