At such times a single looks like the longest hit in the world to the team at However, there is a} bit more of the glamour to the home- | run wallop that ties or wins the ole ball game. There is something about the| bome run that supplies one of the big thrills of baseball, It is the onc| feature of the pastime that mi perfectly sane people throw away perfectly good hats. In my 20 years of baseball, I have geen any number of timely home-; run drives. I have seen games won in the ninth with the sacks filled and four runs necded torwin, wh« some slugger drove the ball over the fencé. I have seen extra-inning games, some of them slugfests, other pitchers battles, decided by a home-run drive, To my way of thinking, there never was a timelier home run than that delivered by Frank Baker in the third game of the 1911 world series. New York had won the first game of the series, 2 to 1, despite the fact that Chief Bender struck out 11 men and allowed only“f¥e hits. ” The Athletics evened up the count by taking the second game, 3 to 1. A home run by Baker in the sixth inning, scoring Collins. ahead of him, decided that game. Marquard was pitching for New York. He pitched low and inside to Baker on -the bail he hit over the fence.’ Such pitching to Baker is usually accompanied by fatal results. During that series, Marquard and Mathewson, star pitchers of the Giants, were also writing daily a counts of the game for the news- papers. Possibly the players never saw that was written, The day fol- lowing the second game, Mathewson, in his story of the defeat, took Mir- quarii to task for pitching in Baker's “groove”—low and inside. The ar-| ticle caused much comment. Mathewson, who pitched the first game for the Giants and won, was McGraw’s pitching selection for. the third’ game.‘ Going into the ninth inning he enjoyed a 1 to 0 lea Collins, first many up, was r tired and things looKed mighty rosy for a Giant victory. hen the unexpected happened. With Baker up and the count two balls and a strike, Mathewson was unfortunate enough to get a: sicw ball, inside and low.
