Merkle raced home on the hit, as did Herzog. Wilson went down to eecond, touched the bag and then went on his way rejoicing to the clubhouse, Believing that the fracas was the fane began surging over the fdld to the exits and the players made Une for the clubhouse, But ‘moment, please.

When the excitement subsided it was discovered that Kiem, having his tack turned to the plate to announce Mc- Cormick’s substitution, didn't see Harry make hin winning hit, and, conse- quently, the play didn’t count, After an argument that lasted nearty ten minutes Kiem ordered Merkle, the Highlanders has no dependabd!

Highlanders Buy Promising Young Catcher From White Sox The Highlanders have just purchased @ new catcher from the White Sox. ‘His name is Phil Gossett, and as a member of the St. Joseph team of the Western League last season he carned the right to be regarded the best back- stop in that organization. The youngster stands & feet 11 inch 1% pounds. Gossett is now in Chicago, but will leave for this Outside of Ed Sweeney, who is now on the injured tcher, and the youngsters that have been used, Williams and Sterrett, have been very amateurish In their base- throwing, which has been a big handicap to the team. The only reason that President Comiskey jet Gossett go is because he has too many good receiving generals, With Schalk, Sullivan, Easterly and Kuhn on the job, there wasn't @ chance fn the world for Gossett to break into the game, despite the high esteem in which he was held by the Chicago management.
