DOUBLE BONEHEADS RARE
BASEBALL.
And Man Who Couldn’t Catch Behind
Left-Hand Batter.
Double boneheads are‘rarc in base
ball—scarcer titan hen's teeth. and nat-
urally so, for the completion of a bone-
head requires vigilance and quick
thinking by the opposition.
Still. double concretes happen ever
and anon, thefamons one, possibly, be.
ing that pulled by Cozy Dolan and Har-
ry Gessier at Chicago several years
ago.
On this occasion Dolan had reached
second in the ninth and one was down.
the score at the time being in favor
of the Cubs by a memo margin. The
next batter hoisted a long fly over cen-
ter field. Gessler grabbed the ball, and
deciding that it was the third out,
tucked the ball in his pocket and blow
for the clubhouse.
Dolan, instead of taking advantage
of the break to score the tying run,
also followed Gessler across the field.
while a raving mob of players from
both teams; surrounding them, tried
to imphess the horror of the situation
upon them. Artie dofman finalyy took
the ball away from Gessler, chased Do-
]an to the cluhouse and made the put-
ont at the edge of the bathtub.
That was the richest double break
on record, but there have been a few
others almost as funny.
Mnehean Kennedy. who grabs inter-
esting figures and reading out of base-
ball records. says the funniest thing
he ever witnessed in the bush’leagnes
happened in Clinton.~Mich. ' ,
A young fellow came into town and
claimed to be a catcher. He wanted a
job on the team. They asked him out
to practice to show what he could do.
The youngster got behind the plate.
A left-handed batter was . up. The

and the catcher missed an of them;
