Show . J GETS LOBERT'S GOAT t John Lobert, third baseman in years past for the Reds, Phillies J t and Giants, lives in Philadelphia J in the off season. There is not J i a more genial soul in the world t than John, but there is one sure J ' way to make his choler rise. That ' is to recall one of the few bone- t ' head plays in which he was ever 4 implicated. He was playing third for the ' t Phillies, and he tagged out Bob f J Be,scher, who tried to steal the ' bag. It was the second out in t the fifth inning, but both Bescher J aixl Lobert decided simultaneous- t ly that it was the third. John J ' threw off his glove; and started 4 for the bench; Bob trotted out , J Into left field. J And it took almost physical t Tiolence on the part of Red Doln J and Joe Tinker to convince them t that they were wrong. ' |
