Littlest Manager Turns Loose
Several Queer Tales of the
Diamond.
ST. LOL'IS, Feb. I. Recently v.hca

on a ball field. Manager Miller Hug
gins of the Cardinals replied:
"Two Instances of quick thinking on
the spur of the moment ocycur to me as
being well above the average. Certain
ly each played an Important part In
the game.
"Last year the St. Louis club. In a
game with Chicago, had a mm on sec

"Sheckard got all ready to throw the
ball to the home plate, anticipating that
the runner on third would to' to score.
But just as Sheckard drew back nfs
arm to throw he saw that the man on
third did not leave the bag, but that
the man on second, expecting that the
player ahead of him would try to score,
had started from second to third.
"Quick as a flash, Sheckard. with the
same motion, wheeled and let the ball
drive to second, where he got his man
J"Thesecon'd Play was one In which I !
was mixed up myself. Two of our St.
Louis players were on first and second
bases, with no one out. The man "n
second base was a 3low runner. 1 was
at bat and It was my. intention to cac
riUce along the third-base line,
"We were iIajlng againbt Pittsburgn,
'and as soon as the plichcr pitched the
ball he startea lor me iniru-uasc imc.

I lane to the pitcher's box. As the pitcher
had left Iih position the tium went ior
a single, and. nlth the bases niiMi, wi
Kubsequcntly scored enough runs to
win the game.
"I will tell you thre- funny Incidents
that have occurred during my career.
"Once while playing In Cincinnati
aaglnst New York, with John Stowc as
umpire. It having rained during all the
game, "Dummy" Taylor put on a large
pair of rubber boots and went out on
the line to coach. Being a deaf mute
and not paying any attention to John
.stone. It caused a lot of excitement and
was very funny.
"Another time when Cincinnati was
playing In Plttsbuig Joe Kelley. who
"as mnimgcr of the Reds, was sore be
cause the umpire refused to fall the
game when It was raining pitchforks
nnd went Into'tho box and started to
pitch with a cigarette In his month.
"In a game played when In St. Pul.
a visiting batsman hit a ball Into left

You can Imagine the effect this had on

a boxer had so much brains?
Onlv too true.
