The brightest bit of fielding was turned in by his side partner..La Motte, who quit the game early to favor th charley horse in his lez. Bob's con- tribution was inserted in the first in- ning and considering the circum-! stances constituted a rather nogable achievement. Milan was on third by virtue of a pass. a stolen base and Picinich’s poor peg. when Rice ham- mered a bounder through the box. Brower leaped and broke the force of the blow, but couldn’t hang on to the ball, which bounded on back of him. La Motte raced over like a streak, grabbed the pill on the fly, and, with- out regaining his balance, shot it to Altrock at first in time to nip Sam. The fact that Rice was the batsman is what made La Motte's feat stand out. Samuel gets down to first with- out any loss of time .as is well known, and to get the verdict over him re- quired speed of a high degree. Bob: had jt.
