It Was Muffing.

“ 'Bugs’ Raymond, the handsome and brilliant pitcher At the New York Giants, is a great wit on the field,” said a sporting editor at the Pen and Pencil club in Philadelphia. “Raymond was tlisgusted one day at his team’s wretched outflelding. Batter after batter sent up high flies, and these easy balls were muffed alternately by left and cep ter. “Bugs at the sixth muff threw down his glove and stamped on it “ ‘There’s an epidemic in the outfield,’ he said, ‘but, by Jingo! it isn’t catching.’ ”
