Every baseball fan has suffered at this spectacle: His team is one run behind, has two men on bases with two out, and its heaviest slugger at bat. A clean hit may win the game, which the opposing pitcher well knows. Hence, instead of serving a ball that the batter can hit, the pitcher throws four wild ones in succession, passing the batter to first base...

Luque scarcely noticed him. "I get heem," he promised, and turned toward the batter. Plump!- Strike one. Plump!-Strike two. Plump...

Last week, in the fourth inning of a game between Boston and the Giants, he had a chance to break the National League record of 44 consecutive scoreless innings, made by Pitcher Ed Reulbach of the Chicago Cubs in 1908.

Gleason, the next man up, scored Nevin with a weak hit to the pitcher, whose fumble enabled the batter to reach first. The next man, Kiernan, advanced Gleason with a single to place runners on first and second bases, with no outs. Loughlin sacrificed, advancing the men on bases, but the game ended when Woodruff fanned, and Murmes, who was pinch hitting for McJennett, flyed out to the third...
