S W B B 8 0 GRAPHIC*,; ■ NERVE OF AN OUTFIELDER. «• y Away “ T h s greatest baseball play I •aw, writes W. J. Lamp ton in tha American magazine, “ occurred in the autumn o f 1869, that je a r whan the famous Red Stocking! o f Cincinnati played every leading club from Maine to California without loaing a game and tying once (17 to 17) with tbfc Haymakers o f Troy, N . Y ., a club which it had previous ly defeated. *T was a boy in those days at Portsmouth, O., and we had a dub which had put it all over everythin« in our neighborhood as the Red Stockings had put it all over the United States, and we were some proud o f our record, just as the Reds were o f theirs. Ours was good enough fo r the Reds to take notice, and they came up the river to play us after walloping everything* else in the country. We thought they would lick us, but as the game pro gressed we began to think different ly, and when at the ninth inning the score stood 37 to 36, as I remember, in our favor, Portsmouth's blood bspran to surge and every backbone there felt the tingling o f strained nerves. “ Th e Reds may have thought they would have fun with Portsmouth when they came, but they had changed their minds now. In the ninth they got three men on bases, but they had two men out and Portsmouth stock was going up fast. So was the excitement. Then George W right took the stick and every Portsmouth heart stood still. Would be or wouldn't he? H e did. and the bull soared heavenward, as they did in those days, and curved down to the weeds in the fa r left field. W e had never thought a ball could be knocked that distance, and the weeds had been le ft to grow. “ Our le ft fielder was L ute Huddle ston, a fine player and a fine fallow, and Lute headed fo r the ball, W right in the meantime hitting the bags all around and bringing In three men. Huddleston went down in the weeds with the ball and everybody thought he had it all right. Portsmouth broke loose in a crazy bedlam as Lute came up out o f the ruck w ith the hall in his hand; the Red Stockings stood stiff betwixt doubt and fear, and the umpire held up' his hand to hear from the fielder, fo r he alone knew what tha answer was. “ Portsmouth was screaming with jo y and yelling it to their player who had defeated the unconquer able Reds; the unconquerable* were beginning to droop, and then Hud dleston stood up straight and shook his head. H e nad not caught the hall. Nobody knew except himself whether he had or not, and it was up to him to lie fo r victory or tell the truth for defeat. He had the strength o f charycter under extraor dinary circumstances to be square. T h e next Red to the bat went out. and when Portsmouth came to the plate the Reds got together fo r all they were worth, now that they had learned how close a call they had had, and the game cloned, 40 to 37 in favor o f the champions o f tlje U nited States.” Byron's Quoor Eating Habits.

One slice o f bread fo r break fast and a vegetable dinner kept him going in 1816, though at times he had to chew tobacco to keep down his hunger. Vinegar and wa ter and a little rice was another o f his experimental diets. But he had his moments o f indulgence, and Moore tells o f a supper at which he ate three lobsters and washed them down with half a dozen glasses o f strong brandy.
