Funny Stunt That Onca Wen a Gama
For the Washingtons.
Following la an Interesting story
told by Hugh S. Fullerton In the
American Magazine, In an article de
scribing freak plays that bare won
baseball games:
“ On tbe old Washington gronnda.
when Washington was I d the National
league, ibe players left the Held by
pusalug under tbe stands, and the en
trance to tbe passage was closed by
a cellar door arrangement which
sloped down to tbe ground. The doors,
of course, were kept cloned during
games, but at tbe top, cut In tbe
planks o f tbe staud. was a small
square bole lo permit tbe players to
reach through aud unlatch tbe doors
when they desired to leave tbe Held.
"During one game I saw a ball,
which bad been thrown wild to tbe
plate I d an effort to cut oft tbe tying
run. roll up tbe doors and disappear
tbrougb that bole. Tbe batter circled
the buses and scored tbe winning run
The Cblcago club, UDder Auson. was
beaten and protested tbe game on tbe
ground that the opening existed lb
violation of the rules. In tbe luvestl
gallon o f Ibe complaint au attempt
was made to force a ball tbrougb tbe
bole. and. although It was pouuded
with a bat. tbe ball refused to pass
ibrougb tbe bole until tbe cover gave
way.
“ After that almost every team that
came on tbe grounds tried to put bolls
through (be bole and fulled.
How
that thrown ball managed to twist Its
way through the aperture never bas
been explained satisfactorily.”
