November 5th 1906 Let the people of McCook and vicinity honor their townsman with a crowded house ODD INCIDENT THAT ONCE WON A GAME IN CHICAGO A- Bucket of Paint Helped the Orioles to Capture tlie National League Pennant The Importance of a Col or Scheme In Batting One of the oddest things that ever happened oil a ball field took place on the west side grounds in Chicago In a game against New York Ansons men were playing the Giants and the vic tory hung in the balance until in the ninth inning with the score even Bill Lange faced Jouet Meekln and rampsed a certain double to center There were two out and the crowd rose with a yell of delight when Lange smote the ball which rolled past Van Haltren That ball rolled on and finally disap peared Van Haltren was on top of it but instead of picking It up he sudden ly threw himself flat on the ground rammed his right arm Into the earth and commenced reaching Lange meantime kept on He turned second raced on to third gave a look outward and then sprinted for home scoring the winning run The ball had rolled Into a hole In the ground from which a post had been pulled that morning and Van Haltren had been able only to reach It with the tips of his fingers The next day the hole was filled in Upon what small things the results of baseball depend can be guessed when it is known that a forty five cent bucket of paint won the National league pennant for Baltimore two years in succession The men who composed the three times champion Orioles all admit the fact that the bucket of paint had more to do with their pennant win ning than anything else The facts are these The Orioles were not hitting They could not find out why until one day Willie Keeler remarked that the Ball when pitched from the pitchers box was the same color as the center field fence and that the ball was lost to them against the dark background The players set themselves down to figure It out and In the end they figured that the reason they were not hitting was because there was a lack of relief In the color scheme of the grounds The bat boy was sent in a hurry for a pot of white paint and a patch of the fence in cen ter field exactly on a line with the pitchers box and the plate was daub ed white The paint made a difference of nearly forty points per man in their batting averages that season and they won the pennant After that the space In center on most of the big league ball grounds was kept clear or painted in some color that would assist the team in its hitting The color scheme In baseball is more important than the casual observer would suppose For instance the Polo grounds are one of the hardest grounds In the world for an outfielder Back of the grand stand rises a huge bluff Coogans bluff and the stand Is built partly on the side of the hill Naturally the shadow of the stand and the bluff lies heavy over the field as far out as second base in the late after noon and the outfielders have great difficulty in seeing the ball until it rises out of the shadow and above the sky line The players learn to judge balls by the way they sound against the bat but visiting players at the Polo grounds have a hard time judging line drives For years the New York players have had the advantage because of the color scheme of their grounds In center field Is a panel of color to relieve the batters eye and show the ball in re lief against it while to mitigate the effects of the shadow sections of the front of the stand and even the bowl ders on the hillside have been painted Those mechanical aids for batting are great things Almost every home team has Its grounds arranged for relief In color so that they can by looking at a certain spot be certain to see the ball It Is not necessary for the ball to rise against the relief background but it is necessary for the players eye to be filled with the color so that when he looks at the ball It stands out In relief against the color which still 13 Imprint ed on the retina of his eye One of the best hitting pitchers that ever lived Walter Thornton who was driven out of baseball because of the 9 personal dislike of an official or the National league to him had a scheme which worked well and which he claim ed aided him in batting He simply sat and held his fingers tight against his eyes for several minutes before go ing to bat Shutting out all light he claimed rested his eyes after pitching a hard inning and he went in to bat with eyes fresh and steady And how he did hit them How he did hit them Pietro Gladiator Browning tried ev ery treatment possible for his eyes to keep them clear Smoking a cigarette on the bench was one of his ideas and he carried an eye wash with him which he poured into his eyes just before go ing to bat Most of the schemes of players to keep their eyes in as they say are ridiculous but there is no reason why a lot of players should not follow lit erally the advice of the bleacherites and see an oculist Any good ocu list can devise a color scheme that will help the batter Hugh S Fullerton In Washington Star Knew How Friend making a call You are not looking very robust Do you enjoy good health Mrs Stayatt Holme with a sigh Indeed
