A Baseball Record.
One man in baseball history placed
himself in the hall of fame by deliver
ing Just one ball, calling for probably
only a few seconds' actual participa
tion in the game.
He was Manager Childs of the Ports
mouth (O.) team.
In a game with Marion June 20, 1010,
Childs went into the box and pitched
one ball. It resulted in a triple play,
and Childs got credit, of course, for
pitching an entire inning with one
heave, the only time it has ever been
accomplished.—Chicago Herald.
But Not Unpardonable.
"Don't you bring that man here
again. He's unshakable!"
"Why, did he insult you?"
"No. but he's dumb and wants to
talk with his fingers.*' Baltimore
