ro CRICKET HERE ARE PLAY NOT OFTEN SEEN Freak Stunts - Which Have Happened in Baseball, Acci- | dentally or Otherwise, When a base runner 1s trapped be- tween third and the plate on a ball hit to the infleld it has always been customary for Mim to rum up and down the third base line and so de- lay the putout until the runner fol- lowing him can reach third and the batter advance as far as Possidle. Here Ys an instance n whch Hans Wagner once went this play one bet- ter. In a game at 'the old Pittsburgh grounds in Allegheny one time Tom- my Leach was on third and Wagner on first when the batter hit a ground- Or 'to the shortstop on which Leach Was trapped between third and the plate. Tommy ran up and down the base ¥me in the usual conventional manner of a trapped runner, while the whole opposing infield strung out along the third base line to part- icipate in the play and Wagner Came streaming around from first lke a runaway motor truck. But when he arrived at third Wag- ner never even hesitated, but, turn- log third like a steam engine, he @lso kept right 'on toward the plate, being careful not to pass Leach, As Tommy turned to run back toward third he found himself facing Wag- | ner, who then turned and also ran | back in the direction of third base. Instead of the usual play in which they had one runner trapped on the base line, the opposing players now found themselves facing a play in which they had two runners trap- ded on the same base line, and the Tesult was confusing. That particular base line had be- Come over-populated and much over- charged with excitement. With two funners tearing wp and down the line instead of one the whole play became gummed up by the opposing players being confused "as to Just which player to try to put out. They finaf?y ended it by hitting Wagner in the middle of his broad German shoulders with a confused throw, the ball bounding off toward the stands, and everybody scored. -- Beveral years ago when Fred Clarke's old Pittsburg Pirates were * playing a game against the Phillies i in Philadelphia, Hans Wagner, at- i tempting to reach third from first on single to the outfield, slid 'into third base in a cloud of dust sim- Mltaneously with the arrival of the ball. Lobert, playing third, was up- set in the colitsion and dropped the £ Ball. Wagner then rose to his feet and dashed for the plate, while Lo- Bert and the whole infield stanted to look around frantically for the | ball. They couldn't locate it any- Where, Lobert even looking under tne bag, and in the meantime Wag- 'mer had raced over the plate and the scorers had chalked up the run. 3 Then it was observed that Wagner "Was trying to get rid of something 'Without exciting attention, and the umpire asked Hane if he had the 1. Wagner demurred for awhile, then reached down inside his shirt bosom and pulled out the lost ball. || When It dropped out of Lobert's hands it had fallen inside Wagner's if shirt, which was open at the neck, Drugs to Take, No Medicine to Upset the Stomach Just Breathe Count ten--a bad cold is relieved Catarrhozone--wait one minute you will feel its soothing influ- On a sore irritated throat.

Then he called the | | attention of the umpire, to the fact | that the ball was caught by the short- | sop before it touched the ground, | retiring Conzelman, and that the | runner on second was out because he had not returned to the bag be- fore running home. The arbiter al- |lowed the double out and Waterloo { won the game, 5 to 4. | During a recent game in the | Southern Association between Mem- i phis and Chattanooga, pitcher Drake of the Chattanoogo club, was the | viotim of a display of teiper on his | part that lost him a ball game, In the third inning Drake, with the bases loaded, fssued a base on | balls that forced in a run.

As ithe spectators dodged | frantically to keep from being hit, two Memphis players scored and the| | runner on first reached third on the | "heave." Scorers are still wondering wheth- er this was a wild pitch, a wild | throw, or a wild ball player. | In a game which was played in | California the pitcher lobbed the ball to the plate, but lobbed it so uncert - ainly that the ball passed behind the batter, The latter turned around, batted left handed and hit for a home run, California could not decide wheth- er the hit was legal and telegraphed East to find out, adding in the tele gram that they had batfers out | there who could do etunts that Ruth coubdn't, or a least hasn't done. The home run is perfectly legal, The batter was in the box when he maul- ed the ball, and there is no rule Striking at wild pitches. "BUGS" HERSCHE'S COMICAL STUNTS.
