W hat Happened the Day Merkle Failed to Touch Second—Long- est Wallop on Record Was Made by Babe Ruth at Tampa. N describing the greatest hit 1 ever saw it is necessary to de- termine what constitutes a great hit—its bearing on the result, or the mere force of the wallop. The several correspondents who have asked this question did not give a definition of what they considered a great or historic hit. To me the greatest hit is the most timely hit. That makes tiie answer comparativeiy easy The single made by Al Bridwell in that famous game with the Cubs in 1908, when Merkle failed to touch second, stands out in my memory as the greatest. That particular line drive won the pennant of 1908, though we did not get it 1 have never weakened in my opinion that the awarding of that pennant to the Cubs on a technicality was unjust. Bridwell's hit really won | the championship. Had Chance to Win Flag.* Very likely fans of today remember that famous incident clearly. There were two out at the time and Merkle was on first, with Harry McCormick on third. Bridwell came to bat with| the chance of winning a pennant staring him in the face. Al was not the least disturbed by the importance of the moment. In fact, Bridwell was one of the gamest | players 1 ever knew. We all had a hunch that he was going to nail the| ball, and, sure enough, he did. It was a clean iine smack to center. McCormick scored from third with the winning run and then the trouble | started. 3 Whils T am on the subject, even| am a little ahead of my| story, this is a good place to descrive what happened that afternoon— that day that still keeps an important pot in base ball history.

BY JOHN J. McGRAW, Manager New York Giants, Three Times World Champions: (Released Exclusively Through the North American Newspaper Alliance.) McGRAW, AS HE LOOKS TODAY. McCormick had scored everybody started running across the field. Al- ways it had been customary to do this. Merkle, like all players before him, simply ran down "toward second. Having shown that he could have reached the bag had he wanted to, he turned off and ran to the clubhouse. He did not really touch the bag. though most of the players thought he did, at the time. In a_moment there was consterna- tion. We saw Hofman throw the ball in and make wild motions as if some- thing was to happen at second base. It seemed that a similar play had been made by the Cubs a week or S0 before. The ball went over toward Pitcher Kroh, a substitute, ran and_scrambled to get the ball. Joe McGinnity, who also had run out grappled with Kroh. In the meantime the crowd was surging and milling about them and Johnny Evers was wildly waving his arms at second base. MeGi third. out ty Threw Ball Away. Joe McGinnity finally got the ball| away from Kroh and threw it into the left-field bleachers.

It is possible that the roots of the Benton case lie far deeper than any one who knows is wikng to admit. (Copyright, 1923.) COP GETS UMPIRE JOB. COLUMBIA, §. C., February 13 D. Alexander, Savannah policeman and former ball player and pugilist and boxing referee. has been appoint- ed an umpire in the South Atlantic Association. ge the dlamond. Nobody seemed to know what happened. Jack Hayden. playing the outfield for the Cubs, ha run toward the clubhouse, thinking the game over. Finally Johnny Evers got the tention of Umpire Emslle, who was working on the bases that da Hank O'Day was behind the bat. Emslie walked away from Evers, shaking his head to indicate that he would not allow such a play. Evers followed him for a short distance and then he ran to O'Day, who had turned away from the plate, walking toward the stand, and was taking the extra balls out ‘of his blouse. Nobody ever knew what decision bad been made. Hank 0'Day’s Explanation. The next morning, the excitement still being intense, several newspaper men went down to the old Hotel Ash- land, where the umpires stopped in those days. ‘MWhe hotel is not there now One of the reporters asked O'Day to tell exactly what was his decision. He said the runner (Merkle) was out, because it was necessary for him to touch second to prevent a forced play. | “But that would only leave the score | tied.” the newspaper man suggested. “Why didn't you order play re- sumed *Why—why.” sald O'Day hesitating- | Iv. “I called the game on account of darkness.” I am giving this conversation on the authority of a sport writer, a good friénd of mine, who was present I have been told that O'Day went to see Harry Pulliam. president of the league, and such an explanation was decided upon Decision Cost the Pennant. In any event, that decision cost us the pennant. ' We had a few more games to play, but that sort of took the heart out of the gang. It finally came down to a tie, with even Pitts burgh having a chance. The game between the Cubs and Giants was ordered played that game | we Jost Mathewson pitched for us in_ the play-off and Jack Pfeister started for the Cubs. We got to Jack ve quickly, but Frank Chance was wise enough’to yank him out just in time He put in Mordecal Brown and the Cubs finally’ won out. So. with all those exciting events following that single of Bridwell's, 1 regard that as the greatest hit I ever saw T have seen longer hits The longest hit 1 ever saw—and 1 feel pretty sure that it was the long- est ever made—was a wallop by Bahe Ruth in an exhibition game down in Tampa, Fla, off “Columbia” George Smith. who was pitching for tne Giants Ball Traveled 587 Feet. 1 didn’t believe it possible for a man to hit a base ball as far as that. He caught the ball squarely on the nose! and it started like an ordinary long fiy.

Interest in its length was greater than in the game itself. For the rest of the game that was all we talked about To be sure of its length. a party of newspaper men and players went out and measured the distance accurately. | That ball had traveled 557 feet | Mind you, that is just thirteen feet| short of 200 yards! ~Can you imagine such a drive? That hit by Ruth would have clear- ed the bleachers and the center-fleld fence in the Polo Grounds. It was easily the longest hit I ever saw or ever expect to see. Often I am asked it any of the old- timers like Dan Brouthers or Delehanty could hit a bail as hard as Ruth. My answer is, “No.” T don't think a man ever lived who could put such force behind a ball (Copyright. 1923. U. S and Canada Christy Walsh Srodicate.) over.

EW YORK, February 13.—Battling Siki's reinstatement by the French boxing commission as a pugilist eligible for battles comes at a fine time for Dempsey. Under the surface, all through the negotiations which the champion’s manager, Kearns, has been conduct- ing in behalf of his meal ticket, has lain the European idea. The scheme has been for Jack to go ~abroad and mingle with a few easy marks, re- turning to this country in time for such big stuff as Kearns has been able to provide. : Had it not been for Carpentier’s beating by Siki, Dempsey would be in Europe now, and the world would be agog over the second “battle ot the century.” As it is, the Frenchman could hardly impress any one, even the humblest peasant who_tends his flocks under the shadow of the Appenines, as a championship contender now. “RED” ROBERTS IS NAMED REAL KENTUCKY COLONEL FRANKFORT, Ky., February 13. —Another Kentucky colonel was created when Gov.

Roberts, who s twenty-three, is probably the youngest to attain that position. He is a senior at Center.

Siki_is slovakia, and hence it ix not known what he thinks of the lifting of his suspension. The French federation on the oc- casion of its twentieth anniversary yesterday decided in favor of amnesty for all recent offenders. The decision as regards Siki annuls his suspension and allows him to apply for a new boxing license, which will be granted, but does not restore to him his championship titles.

The French boxing authorities put him on the shelf for a while, but he has not been there long cnough to catct the dust of public forgetfulness.

Siki has got a hurdle in March. a bout with Mike McTigue who hax been knocking them cold in England for about a vear. The mixup is set for March and will take place in Dub lin. The Senegalese will out-weigh Mike nearly thirty pounds, but ex perts who have watched the negro in action think that a_pugilist of Mc Tgue's stripe can afford to give the wild man this much weight. Siki, on the other hand, has sur prised the sporting world more than once. 1f he stows Mike away then there is little doubt that Dempsev will receive a handsome offer to sail for France and uphold the Afistic laurels of the white race.
