In one of the St. Louis Browns-Whites [i.e. the reserve nine] games Latham had a moth-eaten chestnut worked off on him much to his chagrin. He hit safe to left and Hines fielded to Crooks, who hid the ball. Arlie moved off fist base and a quick throw to Beckley caught him napping. The crowd yelled for five minutes, and Arlie, walking up to the stand, make a short speech, offering to bet $100 that he would not be caught again that way this season.
