The first umpire to call a balk on Jimmy Galvin for that peculiar nod of his head has been found in Umpire Gunning. He called it on Jeems the other day after he caught Latham napping on first base and it cost a run. Gunning declared it was a balk in every sense of the word, and laughed at Hanlon's efforts to make him think different. For years pitchers have been trying to get this move down fine. Keefe, Krock and others once thought they had mastered it, but were mistaken.
