"The Called Shot", the fabled home run hit by Babe Ruth in the 1932 World Series (I believe), when he supposedly pointed to the spot where the ball landed in the the outfield stands just before the pitch, is another famous use of the term (phrases from baseball?). Well after Annie Oakley, but certainly before the 1960s.
(And, AnnaS...Babe Ruth was a Chicago Cub then!)
