Altrock batted for l.nno In the season of 1924 when he hit three bases in Washington's last game against the Red Sox. The Boston outfielders, bent upon allow ing Nick to score a home run, failed to field the ball slowly enough, for Altrock sat down at third base and refused to continue to the plate.

He really felt that he was young enough—he is only 44—to rejoin a regular pitching staff. A! Sehact will be Altrock'a chief assistant, If he needs one, as coach for the Washington club.
