Quinn told the other umpire, Bick Campbell,

house to change back to his street clothes. After
a lapse of inning he was back on the field
umpiring again, and offciated in the second

Of course the batters even their score

pitcher for the Washington Senators last sea-
son. was hit so many times by batted balls that
he got plate-shy himself. Every time he let go OF
a ball headed for home plate his eyes would in
voluntarily tighten up and he would get ready
to duck.
One of the queerest plays ever seen in big

hit.

that it bounced clear back to Redmond the
catcher who caught it for putout. Redmonds
quick eve detected an astonished Yankee runner
left stranded off second base by the queer turn
of events. He tossed the ball to Kress at second
base for the second putout.
Meanwhile they had summoned a stretcher
bearer for Linke When doctors examined him
at the hospital they found nothing serious, and
Linke reported: ut never did knock me COM
pletely out"
Ed had his other troubles, too. The circulation
in his pitching arm so faint he seemed to
have no pulse. In the cold weather at the start
of the season the fingers of his pitching hand
got numb. Linke got the bright idea of carrying
a pocket heater in his hip pocket so he could
warm his fingers. Other managers objected that
he might be slipping some illegal chemical onto
the ball to make it slip and sither in the air,
and baseball officials ruled out his pocket heater

Sometimes the umpire is the victim when the
pitchers fast one produces casualty. Johnny
Quinn, former player with the Philadelphia
Athletics went to the Southern Association as
an umpire. While he was umpiring night
game at Little Rock, the pitcher threw fast
one that was just tipped by the bat. The ball
hit Qunns mask, tore through it, struck him
on the nose and dropped him to the ground. The
game was stopped. The announcer asked for
medical aid. Two doctors rushed down out of
the stands When Quinn revived they told

miles an hour. Striking at that speed it feels
just about like rock Many ballplayers have
been carried off the field after being hit on the

one. Hughie used to take the ball on the chin,

Hurt? Not Jennings He could take it
Usually when great ballplayer is hit on the
head by fast ball, his nerves fail him when he
goes up to the plate after that. He can't relax
and pay attention to socking out good long
hit; the memory of that blow on the head stays
with him. and whether he likes it or not, 1t
makes a difference in the way he acts when
facing the pitcher Baplayers call it plate
shy"
Roger Bresnahan, one of the best big-league
catchers in the years 1902-190s, once faced just
such problem. In one game Roger was catch

came up to bat, Coakley was doing the pitching

locate his other relatives.
When his wife arrived the next morning,
Bresnahan was still unconscious. 1t was six
