Weiss for the club. but he has re-
fused to make any decision pending
the outcome of negotiations that. he
and Walter Johnson have

Asked whether he thought 'this
was the case. Weiss declared: “Well.
that has been known to happen be-
fore." \Velss emphasized the fact
that it his other dickers were suc-
cessfully completed, and he‘decided
to sell the local club, that it would

increasing the size of the party t)

Present indications are that Kap-
lan will engage in no more than
one or two bouts locally until the
outdoor season gets under way. llls
managers have been bcscigod wltll'
offers since the night he stoppcdl
Danny Kramer and established
himself as the king of the feather-
weights, but the Caliroulla matches
are the only ones which have bUl‘u
definitely closed. Ono championship
matcn has been assured for next
summer in Waterbury. and belllnd‘
it lies a story of appreciation {or
opportunity extended in the days
when Kaplan could not. get matches
at will. as is now the case.
George Mulligan; Waterbury pro-
motor. was among the first to give
Kaplau a chdnce to show his skill;
and he probably was the first to
make championship predictions for
the Meridcn Kid. He used Kaplun
in several bouts during the last few
years and was at the Garden ring-
side toMseo his curly prediction
come true. In many wiy Mulligan
has helped in Kaplnn's rise (ram a.
preliminary boxer in Connecticut to
teatherwelght champion. -
Kaplan and the men who are dlo
rooting his boxing carcor have not
allowed the glory of his present po.
sition to dim the memory of the
past. They have given their prom-
ise—which is in this case the same
as signing articles—that Kaplan will
risk his title at the Waterbury ball
park as soon as the outdoor season
gets under way. and Mulligan will
have his pick of t field as to the
opponent for the riden Kid.
The ins/(ch which is now in pros-
pect would probably draw a. much
bigger gate elsewhere. but therein
a past to remember. and a. strong
desire to remember that past. .‘It

THE MOST HISTORIC GAMES 0!“
THE NATION LEAGUE.
The Her e Gum.
When Fred moi-11h. ”forgot to
atouch second base" in a game play—
“ed between NewY ork and Chicago
on the Polo Ground in September.
1908. the baseball World turned up-
side down for the tibia being. That
game has been more mishandled in
subocquent description at it. and in
the telling of the story that any
game 9! its eventinlncss played in
the National League.
The situation was this: Merkle
was on nrst base; McCormick was
on third and Brldwcll at. bat for
New York. Brldwcll halted a line
drive that went to the lett ncld side
of second base and from? there
straight. to the outfield. It could
not be llcld‘ed by any man on the
field because it was out of human
reach. McCormick scored what was
presumed to to thc‘ winning run;
Merkle run more than half way to
second base and then turned off the
to first. base and touched it.
Holmium. who was playing center
field for Chicago. discovered what
Herkle had do a and not Evcrs as
has been asscr. d time and again.
Hoitman yelled to Even to get the
ball and hold it on second base.
Meanwhile an emissary had started
{or Merklc to drag him back trout
the club house to the field and did.
Merklc touched «second. Joe Mc-
Glnnlty suspecting that Hoffman did
not. wish the ball (or any white
man's purpose. judging by Joe's
standpoint. got hold of it and throw
it. into the left field bleachers where
it Wu effectually out or play {or
the remainder of the season.
- Still whooping for a tall the Chi-
cnso playErs got one from their own
bench and hurried it out to livers
who held tho'ball on second base
and then O'Day has asked to tell
the world what he‘thought.
\(hlle this had been going on the
crowd. which was not over-whelm-
lnglr large. bed bolted from the
stands to the old to see “but was
taking place and to listen to the
dialogue-which threatened to bo-
comc more and more interesting.
O'Day paced out to the infield and
then suddenly wheeled around and
humeled for tho umplrc's dressing
room at top speed.
The scorers and the
wished to know whether the run
counted. and through an emissary.
got word from O'Dzly that it did
count. That was all they wished to
know for it counted New York won.
That night O‘Day and President
Pulllam ot the National League
consulted and after their delibera-
tions were finished. issued a state-
ment that. anything which had born
previously presumed was very bad
presumption and thaat the run did
not count.
That threw the game into the
councils of the Board of Directors.
LNew York claalmed it on the ground
that the umpire had said the run
reporters
league was bigger'than the umplre
his overruling decision took preco-
deuce.
President. Putnam had not said
prior to this game that he would
