Nielsen, noither a long hitter nor a fast runner, lined a ball over third | base, and down laft field pasture| beside the line. It was a nice eingle, but Desordi, playing left field, loafed after the ball as though Nielsen could be depended | upon to make only one base. Nielsen kept going, and about the time he was going into third, | Desordi got a wild idea to cut him off at the plate, picked up the ball, | cocked his arm, and either disgust- ed or disorganized, threw it not to home plate, but over the fence and out of the park. Second biggest thrill of the clown- ing night came when McCloskey, the horse-playing southpaw soldier chucker, wound up for a throw to the plate and chucked the ball un- | der his right leg. George Willey, | standing at the plate, never saw it come his way.
