Show Umpire Hart Spikes Hornsby in Odd Play The injury to Rogers Hornsby in a recent Giant-Red game at Cincinnati was acquired in a manner new to baseball players and spectators. Hornsby made a fall-away slide to reach third on his triple in the twelfth inning when Umpire Um-pire Hart stepped on him. Hart was so close to the play that his spikes clamped down on Horns- by's left hand and lacerated it In half a dozen places, all on the back of the hand. Being stepped on by an umpire is the new part. |
