According to Ned Egan. "the "Con--nie Mack of the Minors." more "bone-head" "bone-head" plays are made in class C atul 13 leagues in a week than you see in tha big leagues in a season. Egan describes de-scribes a play made in the Central association as-sociation that kept the circuit amused tor several days. Waterloo was playing at Muscatine, and Wetzell, Muscatine's right fielder, was on first base, and Sours of the same team at bat. Sours gave tho hit-and-run signal and Wetzel started down for second base as soon as tha pitcher began to wind up. Sours hit a long fly. Just as he reached second base Wetzell thought he saw Hill, Waterloo's left fielder, reaching up ta catch the ball. Without waiting to see whether tha fielder made the catch, Wetzell raced back to first base. Meantime the bali had soared high over Hills' head anil Sours turned first base and raced for second. Wetzell passed him at fuU-speed, fuU-speed, going in the opposite direction, When Sours reached second thought that he had made a mistake about seeing the ball fall safely, audi started back to first. Simultaneously Wetzell saw Hill chasing the sphere, and he again began the dash for second, sec-ond, and once more both players passed each other on the dead run, both badly confused. The result was that a hit that should have been good for a triple and a score went for a single. . And all this happened without tha umpire being entangled in the "bone-head" "bone-head" play. |
