in playing the game. Pitcher Walsh
with one foot on the Dome f«-d the
batter Den by a fast one over the
plate which split the center, but.
Den by stood pat and never swung,
and the horror can b* imagined
when the T'mpire called “Ball One”.
Immediately Catcher Reed shouted,
"remove the TTmp.” which at this
time went unh** tied. Slowly. Walsh
began to wind up. all the time watch

the hall was snapped toward the
plat*' and with a hefty swing Denhy
hit. but missed th- point many feet.
At this a howl went up from the Ex
posure bleachers to “Shut him out,
give him the black one." and also in
the Teapot. Camp a feeble voice or
two were heard to murmur, "Tak*
him out. take him out." Then, figur

lusher yelled. "Get out of there,
rou’re wnrkin' for me -get hack or

ilayer, the Kid insisted on telling
Walsh what to do. The final result
ivas that the Kid was called <>ff the
