That rara avis, the triple play. made
its appearance in the game yesterday
between ST. Paul and Milwaukee, to
the intense delight of the 700 people in
the seats at Athletic park. 1t happened
in the sixth inning in this way: Shoch.
the first man at bat for Milwaukee,
trotted down to the initial bag on four
bad balls, and loves pretty hit to the
left garden sent him to second. Kirby
then smashed low line drive to-
ward short field, and to the runners and
spectators il seemed as II 1t must
either be a sacrifice grounder or
safe hit. Little Miller, however, darted
forward and caught the ball on fly
and threw it to second III time to retire
Shoch. and Werrick lined 1t to HaWeS
eight feet ahead Of Lowe, who was
making good time returning TO hrSt
base. The play was remarkably
pretty one. and the crowd applauded
Miller vigorously as he came in from
the field. Only one other such play
has been made in st. Paul by profess
slonal teams in the last five years. The
game was played rapidly, and with
the exception of the third and fourth
innings, was a fine exhibition
of the national sport. Great field
ing was done by Reilly, Miller,
DAILY, Sutton and Albert. The number
of hits made by each team was the same,
though those of st. Paul were some
what the longest. In the first
inning HAYES was given a base
on balls by KnOuff. and promptly
stole second and third, and scored on
Murphy'S short fly to left. Reilly took
a sack on safe drive to left, and scored
on CarrolFs double to right. In the
third inning. after Halves had landed
fly in loves hands, Murphy pasted the
leather over the right field iatticework.
This was such a great surprise to both
Murphy and the crowd that the former
came around on a broad grin, and
gracefully tipped his cap in re-
Spouse to the applause. Reilly
hit for single and ShOch fumbled Wer-
rick's grounder. Hurley took CarrolPs
high fly, but he dropped Miller's third
strike and threw wild to first. Days
hit cleared the bases, but he was HIM
self caught at the plate trying to get
across the rubber on Broughton's hit.
Milwaukee also tailed in this inning on
hits by Poorman and Sutton and Nor
riSSY'S sacrifice. In the fourth the first
two men at bat reached first on Norris
Sy'S plumbers, ana Inen hnOull edIliou
cheer by striking out three men in
order. In the fifth Carroll pasted the
ball to left for two sacks, took third
on Daly's sacrifice fly to center
and stole home while the Mil
YANKEES were trying to retire
Miller at second. The locals did not
score after this. The Brewers made the
last tally in the seventh on Albert's hit
to center, which Murphy let get by him:
Broughton took Hurley's high fly, and
Werrick gathered in KnOutf'S. Poor
man pounded the ball to Werrick, who
fumbled it, and was so slow in picking
it up that Albert scored. and Poorman
reached first. Shoch pitched the ninth
inning for Milwaukee, and gave two
men bases on balls, but was not hit
safely. The two teams left for Milwau-
kee last evening, and will play in the
Cream CITY to-day. The score:
