Excuse for Ovation.

an ovation he ever witnessed
wns at Boston ten or twelve
years ago when he was with
the Cubs,
The Red Sox had
straight games, and the
seventeenth battle the score
was a tie the last of the ninth.
They had a funner on third with
two out. ’
“Our batter hit the punkiest
single you could ever imagine,”
he said. “It was a weak effort,
the ball taking a slow hop to
one side of the shortstop as
it struck a plece of gravel, and
the man scored from third
“The crowd, pouring out,
grabbed the batter, holsted him
on Its shoulders and carried him
around the field, The ovation
was laughable, but showed
clearly enough how the crowd
could be worked up after a los
