[from Chadwick's column][from an interview of Clarkson to an unidentified Boston reporter] When the ball comes into the territory of a player who plays for a record he makes no vigorous efforts to capture it if the chances are in favor of his scoring an error. By simply making a feint to hold a widely batted ball he gives the impression that he would have taken it if he could, but he is careful not to get too near the flying ball and thus have a black mark set against his name if he fails to make the catch.
