All the league clubs are kicking about the dirty ball Jack Glasscock is playing. Jack was always full of tricks, and when with the Maroons was always getting into trouble on account of them. Once when Gore was playing with the Chicagos, he was on third base at Union park. A high fly was knocked to the outfield, and Gore prepared to score on it. Glasscock slipped up behind him and caught him by the seat of the pants with both hands. Gore made a break when the ball was caught, but could not move. Suddenly Glasscock let go and Gore fell on all fours. When he recovered the ball had been fielded in.
