Text | The silly fashion of rewarding home run hits by contributions from spectators, originated in the Southern League, has at last made its way into National League circles. At Indianapolis last Tuesday Denny made a four-bagger which won the game, whereupon the crowd, in the exuberance of its enthusiasm, began pitching dollars to the great third baseman and he was kept busy for two or three minutes picking up silver. The shower netted him $7.85. On Thursday he repeated the feat and was again rewarded with a shower of silver and also some paper money. |
