and Coach AL Simmons OF the
Athletics and Umpire Eddie
Rommel. They figured in one OF
the all-time lulus on July 10,
1882, when Philadelphia defeated
Cleveland, 1917 in 18 INNINGS.
Rommel was the winning pitch

unleashed two wild pitches and
Yielded 13 runs. He staggered
through the last II innings be-
cause Manager Mack had taken
only two pitchers to Cleveland
and his starting pitcher, Lew
Krausse, was belted out of the
box in the first inning.
"I remember that game like it
was yesterday" said Simmons.
"At one point of the game Rom
mel really was whipped and Mr..
Mack stopped the game. We
thought sure he'd put in Jimmy
Dykes to pitch and put somebody
else on third base. But no, he
left Rommel in there and he
changed catchers. Yep, he re-
placed Johnny Heving with Eddie
Madjeski and doggoned If the
rally didn't stop-at least for that

In that game the AS made Is
hits and Cleveland fashioned 33.
There were 13 doubles, a triple
and four home runs, three OF
them by Jimmy Foxx and the
other by Earl Averill. Johnny
Burnett of the Indians slashed
nine hits in II times at bat and
Simmons says it took spectacular
catches of line drives to check
him the two occasions he didn't
hit. Foxx had six hits in nine
