Laughs and Pranks Across Baseball Fields
In an anecdote from manager Miller J. Huggins of the Yankees, Roger Bresnahan and Steve Evans of the Cardinals clash in a comical baserunning exchange. Evans steals third while Bresnahan, at catcher, protests with quips about telegrams costing fifty dollars. Two days later Bresnahan retaliates by stealing third, prompting Evans to quip about a one hundred dollar charge. The scene elicits roaring crowds as jokes echo through the park. In Toledo, Midget Mike O Dowd of Columbus defeats Johnny Datts of Cleveland in ten rounds.
