Flagg was the finest catcher in New England at that time; and, although he was never chosen captain, he was the most skillful manager of the game. It was he who invented the double-play which can sometimes be accomplished by muffing a fly-catch between the bases. He caught without mask or gloves and was several times wounded by the ball.
Heart speaks to heart naked and unashamed; they fraternize across deeps that are commonly impassable, thrilling as one man to the genius of the double-play, or with one voice hurling merited insults at a remote and contemptuous umpire. It is only there, on earth, that they love their neighbour.
Heaving, bobbing bleachers wild, broken, roar on roar! Score four to three only one half inning left for Philadelphia to play how the fans rooted for another run! A swift double-play, however, ended the inning. Philadelphia's first hitter had three strikes called on him. "Asleep at the switch!" yelled a delighted fan. The next batter went out on a weak pop-up fly to second. "Nothin' to it!"
