JACK MURRAY IN BONE HEAD PLAY After making one of the most remarkable re-markable catches over seen on the Now York Polo grounds, Jack Murray joined the realm of immortals not for making the catch, but for running away with the ball before the game was over and allowing Mike Doolan to score from second. The ludicrous play came up In tho ninth Inning, when the Giants wore seven runs to the good, and there was practically no chance for tho Phillies In a recent game. There was one man out when Mike Doolan drove a long tw.o-bagger into right. The next man, Manager Dooin, smashed a beauty far over Murray's head and It looked good for a homer. With the spring of a jackrabblt I Murray started for the ball and by n I final leap In the air pulled it down with one hand. Then, to the consternation con-sternation of the other Giants, ho mapped a course straight ahead for tho exit door In right center and started for it at full speed. In the meantime Mike Doolan came all the way home from second. He could have scored from first, for that matter, for Murray, under the Impression Impres-sion that two were out, was bent on escaping to the clubhouse with the ball Becker finally headed him off and had tho ball returned to the pitcher pitch-er so that the third man could be retired. Fortunately for Murray the laughable laugh-able play had no effect on tho game and McGraw and the players took it as the best joke of the season But It was the prize "boner" |
