PULLS UNIQUE STUNT

The unique feat of being the only one to handle a ball,* yet being able to retire the side and end the game, was performed by Pitcher Jim Bagby of the Indians, against Clark Griffith’s Senators. ? With two out In the ninth, runners on second and third and Morgan up, Bagby replaced Fred Coumbe. Jim only pitched one ball, Eddie poking it right back at the Tribe’s pitcher. Bagby picked it up and beat Morgan to the bag, thus being the only man to handle the ball.
