Text | As a slider, little Nic [Hugh Nicol] is doubtless without a peer in the country. To an old style ball player, one who has grown up with the game, like Joe Start, for instance, Niol is a sad blow. To think of a baseman having both of his beg hands tight around the ball some seconds before the runner arrives at the base, and just as he is about to put him, there is a leap in the air, a whirr, a grating sound, and a white face ppers up through a cloud of dust asking judgment from the umpire. This sort of thing is enough to discourage the best of the. And it does. St. |
