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
