Washington was a run ahead as the Als came to bat in the first of the ninth. Connie Mack’s crew filled the bases with one out and Mack sent Eddie Collins up as a pinch-hitter. Collins struck a sharp hit between third and short and Bluege dove for it. How he got it, he doesn’t know to this day. He flipped the ball to Bucky Harris at second. So quickly was the play made that| Harris hadn't time to get to the| bag and had to leap to get the ball. Bucky whirled and caught Collins for the final out. “Collins tore his hair, he was so mad. He still calls me a damnable! Dutchman,” Bluege says. { WHITMAN COLLEGE DEFEATS U.
