WUy Rules of those maneu
vers you might
see several times In a lifetime, or
again never..
In fact, there were several
who have attended ball games for
years, who admitted It was the first
they ever witnessed. And. not one
th.m ' n far as this writer could
determine with the naked eye, was
overly Impressed nor ready to ran
apart from excitement.
Of course. It was done so suddenly
that many didn't realize what had
happened until several seconds after
i nil mr Yreka runners were
on first and second, with none away.
Brown, playing. .flrat case, snarea a
liner without moving out of his
tracks, took a few steps to first base,
doubling the runner there, and then
hMv rt Rhnrttnn Dick Lewis cov
ering second before that baserunner
could scurry back to safety. Ana
there it was.
H was extremely undramatlr,
und thereby undoubtedly lies the
main reason for Its failure to
strlr up the old blood stream
more. The situation had a lot
to do with It nlso; the game was
lacking In tenseness at that point
anil there was no crisis, what
soever. Brown should be commended for
knowing exactly what to do with
l the ball when he got It. something
not every bush league player can
be proud of but at that if ithe
two Yreka bnserunners had been
fully acquainted with the rule book,
the play could never have been
pulled. The batted ball Lowell caught
was not really a line drive, it was
sort of a half-liner, half pop fly.
And, with first and second occupied
or the bases loaded, and none or
one out. the rule book clearly states
the batter is automatically out on
an infield tly. It's the old "infield
fly" rule again, over which there has
been more beefing and misunder
standing than any other regulation
in the book.
In tlit case. It was a perfect,
mt-and-rtrled Instance of the bat
ter being automat Iralt.r out. wheth
er Brown caught or dropped the
hump-bark liner. Such being the
case, Yreka haserunners were per
forming In Might ly below grade
whool calibre when they started
galloping as the ball was hit
-down the first base line. Because
the onion was technically an In
field fly and the hatter automati
cally oat, anyway, those two base
runners were not forced to run
If the ball was dropped by Brown.
They could have remained on
their bags In perfect safety.
But because the Callforntans
apparently figured that If Brown
dropped the ball they would be
forced to tear for the next bags.
Medford gets a nice triple play and
many Qua H. Phana were treated
to their first look at the rare de
fensive maneuver. In aJl truthfull
ness. however, we must admit that
several of the mere double killing
turned In by the Craters this season
have produced more tingles in the
spine of yours truly than that three-
piy business.
While speaking of rare tmsehalt
oocnirance. there Is nothing In
the sport that can rome close to
equaling a pitcher's "perfect game
one of which was tossed by l,efty
Mike Roll of Crescent City against'
Ashland, Hunday. Tonr trlpje play
and even yonr unassisted triple
play, the latter a onre-ln-a-llfe-time
happening, are outright fre
quencies compared to the no-hit,
no-run. no-man-reach-flmt pitch
ing performance.
In fact, there Is nothing In the
vast world of sports to equel It in
scarcity, probably the nearest thing
being a bowlers "300" game. But.
where a miners lite expert Is forced
to throw only 13 perfect balls, which
produce 13 "strikes." a baseball hurl-
er must make anywhere from 40 to
100 perfect pitches, all of which are
potential base-hit heavei. The pitch
er must not Issue a base on balls
nor hit a batter, and his teammates
must perform flawlessly, accepting
every fielding chance without . an
error. Every single batter Is every
Inning must be retired in order
three up and three down for nine
innings. .
To give you an Idea of the Infre
quency of the "perfect game.'' there
have been esactly four of them
hurled In the two major leagues
since 1000 four In 37 years. Figur
ing 154 games per season for ench
team In both leagues, the regulation
number of encounters, that's 60fl
games a season for each loop, or
12ia for both. Multiply 1213 by
37 years, and you get a total of
4.844 ball games played since 1900.
It doesn't take a mathematician to
determine, then, that the "perfect
game" In the major leagues hBS
occurred on an average of once In
every 11.211 encounters. Or. one
every 9H years. If there is anything
rarer In the sports world, we have
never heard tell of It.
Mr. Roll of Crescent City de
serves the biggest hand you can
give lilm. and don't laugh off his
performance by pointing1 out that
he was hurling agnlnst a bush
league club. He was hurling
ngalnst a team supposedly In his
same class, for he Is a bush
league pitcher, rememhrr. Just like
those four big league rhiirkera
were throwing , nsolnst tenms In
their own class! There Is no dif
ference, comparlllvel.v.
And for the benefit of Inquisitive
fans, here are the major league
pitchers with "perfect games" under

Seattle's Pitching Wonder
Shows Stuff for Slapnicka
SAN FRANCISCO. June 3. (AP) Oy Slapnicka, general manager at
the American League Cleveland Indians, realized today that the Indians'
young Bob Feller has some Juvenile competition In the Paclflo Coats
league worthy of attention.
Slapnicka sat In the stands
Portland last night and watched 18-yeor-old
Freddie Hutchinson. Seattle's
hurling marvel, put handcuffs on
the Portland Beavers and shut them
out. 0 to 0, for his eighth win of
the season. He haa lost three games.
Young Freddie, who received a
S2.500 bonus to sign with Seattle
after turning down a big league of
fer "because the ierma weren't
right," did other things besides
limit the Beavers to four hits and
strikeout nine. He had a perfect
night at the plate. He got four for
four. Including a two bagger. He
scored two runs, drove In another
and galloped from first to third on
a hit-and-run play.
