Tralnl at Itrault of Dupli

Which CoM Frniiaint.
Fourteen year is a long time be
tween play in baseball, but thaf
is the period that elapsed before the
historic Mrrkle stunt was repcato
in the major league al Ita'l. Con
sidering the number of game played
in that time history certainly was
deliberate in the matter of an en
core. There are 1.2J2 contest scheduled
In the big league every year and all
rxcept a few ol them arc played otl,
J hat mean u.ZW game in M tea-
ton and you would think, i play
would f ii tin oflener than that
It wat In I'iH that Merklc forgot
to touch second and lost a pennant
for New York' Giant by the over-
tight. Last mouth joe JJitgan ol
the Red Sox committed the tame
gaucherie, but it i not likely to rob
Boston of the 1922 American league
pennant.
J'erhaps Halt wtt the reason Pu-
gan wat aliuoit immediately traded
off to the Yankeea, 1'iaee and Duf
fy may have figured that the erren
trie ttar belonged in New Vork,
where Merklc t mental lapse oc
curred, and where he would have a
chance to lorget again, when it might
cost something more than a pirre
ball game.
Dugan'a Slip Not Cottly.
It isn't certain that Dugan't slip
Cost the Red Sox anything, but It
did cost Shauno Collin a two-bate
hit and everybody except possibly
Dugan regret thaf. Tie White
Sox had the game won, 5 to 2, in
the eighth inning when the play
came off. Two were out in the Bos
ton half when Dugan tingled. Shau
na followed with a drive to right
held and made two base on it. but
Dugan neglected the formality of
touching second base on hit way to
the plate and the oversight wat de
lected by Umpire Brick Owena a
well at by Capt. Collins of the White
Sox.
Hooper' return throw wa re
layed to Collin by Sheely. Dugan
wat declared out on a force play, re
tiring the tide and wiping out Shauno
Collins' swat, besides tnufTmg out a
rally which might have enabled Bos
ton to tie the score.
If the White Sox should cop the
pennant, however, there would be
those pcrsont of invidiout disposi
tion who would assert that Chicago'
title could not be clear, because that
game ol July 22 wa won on a tech
nieality. In fact Gotham fan have
not yet stopped claiming that the
Giant rightfully won the flag in I'JOS
and that the Cub ewcrc merely tech
niral world' champlont" that year.
Hut you ought to hear the differ
ent vertiont Manhattanitet give of
the w. k. Mcrkle blob. Time and
tradition have befogged the memo
riet of thote who.aw the play and
mitinformed the latter day rootert
who know about it only by hearsay.
One thing all chronicle agree upon,
however, I hat it the robbery fea
ture of it.
To answer collectively the queries
already prompted by the Dufran epi
tode in Boston and those yet to be
received from inquisitive rooter the
original Mcrkle event may be tum
marized briefly.
The date wat September '2.1, JW,
not the final game of the season, as
to many folks have been told. Cubs
and Gaints were playing their last
engagement of the season with each
other and the ninth inning found
them with a tied score.
Seymour Start Famou Play.
Cy Seymour wat retired. Arthur
Devlin ainglcd, but wa forced at
tccond on Moose McCorniick't
grounder, making two out. Fred
aferkle, then a Giant rookie, tingled,
driving McCormick to third. Al
Bridwcll pulled the game out of the
fire by whaling a cleaiV tingle to
center. McCormick crossed the plate
with what wa supposed to be the
winning run, but Merklc forgot all
about touching second base.
John Evert wat the guy who toot-
tcd the overtiKht and first realized
ill possibilities. Hank O'Day wat
the umpire who also observed the
incident and knew what it meant if
the Cub held the ball, on second.
With the crowd surging across the
playing field, under the impression
the game was won. it took tome time
for Artie llofinaii to get the bail to
Kver lor the force play, but he did
Mid it retired the side, wiping out
McCormick' run and Bridwell't hit.
7 hi left the score tied and, as it
was impossible to char the field, the
contest could noi be finished. It
was ordered played over ai the end
of the season when Gianti and Ctibt
were tied in percentage,

If a roll call w made of the
first basemen who played legularly
in the major league in luIO, ju't
one player would answer "present"
a a major league first aeker of
today,
And that one h Jake Daubert,
capfatn and leading hitter of the

around 40 year of age, still ran
show most of the men playing that
Position under the big tent how to
e valuable to their teams.
Not another one of the men who
played first base in either major
league in IV 10, the year Daubert be
came a regular with Brooklyn, ha
a playing Job In the majors In any
capacity. Most of them have retired
from baseball entirely and tome have
patted to the minor where they tif
are playing regularly,
But that t not all. Daubert hat
not only outlasted thore who were
playing first when he became a
regular, but be hal also outclnsed
many a man who came into promi
nence a a firtt tacker tine 1910 and
then passed on.
.Thi it due to the fact that Jake
ha lived cleanlv. No ball player is
more of a gentleman on and off the
field. He lives right, play right and
it reaping the reward.
