TWIRLER LOSES A GAME BEFORE PITCHING BALL

It is seldom indeed that a. pitcher goes into the box and loses a game before he has even pitched a ball, as was the case in the Mllwaukee-Indianapolis game, which brought the American association championship season of 1919 to a close. Cavet entered the box in the ninth inning with the score tied and by making a balk with a runner on third base allowed the opposing team to .score the winning run.
