It was decided also to prohibit centers from piaying a ball a second time at the face-off until it had been played by some other member of the team. Jimmy Callahan and Ping Bodie get along like a couple of strange, bulldogs. At least they did when the on1 was manager !and the other outfielder with the Sox.

In the passing of Frank Dillon as a manager this tribute might be paid him as first baseman: The Coast league fans never saw the bag covered in more master! mas-ter! v fashion. When Dillon was in his prime he was all that could be desired as a first baseman. If he bad a weak point it never showed itself here. He could handle any sort of a throw with little or no effort. He was all riglrt on ground balls, and his arm was like steel. At the bat he was always dangerous, and on the bases a terror. Ransack your memory, and see if you can think of a first baseman base-man who earned more glory than Frank Dillon In the Coast league? San Francisco Fran-cisco Bulletin. |
