Text | The other day Worcester scored a funny run. Capt. Cudworth of the team was coacher at the first base line and Jones was on second base. The ball was in the hands of Smith, the Norwalk pitcher. Suddenly Cudworth shouted to Smith: “Say, old man, isn't that ball ripped?” “No,” said Smith, holding the ball to view. “Let's see it,” persisted Cudworth. Smith, without thinking, threw the ball at him. Cudworth dodged the ball, and it rolled clear to the bleaching boards. Johnson meantime scored, and the crowd howled. |
