Show lu a row they chocked tho Red Sox ccrlously. Harry McCormlck. the former New York Giant, who played a prominent part "In tho now famous Morkle affair, af-fair, la out of bascouii for good. Ho holds a good position with one of tho big western railroads, it was McCormlck Mc-Cormlck who scored the run that would have eventually won the pennant pen-nant for- NVw York, had not the umpire um-pire called Mcrkle out for his fall- ure to touch second. McCormlck has' Borne Interesting views ou the much discussed play. Baseball fanjom has always given Johnny Evcrs credit for being the player who engineered the play that cost tho Giants tho bunting and landed land-ed the pennant for Chicago. According Accord-ing to McCormlck, Hofman, the Cubs' center fielder, was tho man who did the brain work, and deserves all the praiso that has been showered on Kvorn. That Merklo did not touch Becond basf is admitted by McCormlck. but. he contends that not a member of the Chicago Infield noted tho fact. Hofman, who fielded tho ball, was the man who noticed Morklo'd mistake, mis-take, and after some frantic yelling, finally got in touch with Evers, to whom he threw the ball. Kvera did the spectacular work with Joe Mc-Ginnity, Mc-Ginnity, and the New York fane, and got crodlt for a play that was made possible by Hofman, according to McCormlck. McCormlck will never quite forgive Umpire O'Day for his decision. McCormlck, Mc-Cormlck, a former Biicknc-11 college man. never known as an umplrc-balt-er, contends that O'Day never saw the play and that he had his back turned and wna on his way to tho club houee when Cubs called his attention at-tention to the mistake. The cx-Glant, who was rated as one of the best hitters In the National league when he retired from tho game, says ho is through with baseball base-ball for good. William M, Murray has been appointed ap-pointed starter at the Duffcrin Park race meeting, which is to bo conducted conduct-ed at Toronto Sept. 10 to Sept. 17.
