Two Sad Wedding Presents.

Erie, Pa. Sept S-Chris Won der Abe
the owner of the st. Louis National Lea gu,
Baseball Club, was united in marriage hert
this evening TO Miss Della E Wells of st
Louis
Miss Wells and her sister, Mrs Phelan
arrived on an afternoon train and Were
met by Mr.. Won der Abe.
The wedding took place a the home OF
A. j. EocDig, wealthy jeweler. who
with his wife, were Won der Ahe's neigh
bors in Germany.
Mr.. and Mrs. Won der Abe will return
to ST. Louis next week.
When Manager Captain Dowd and his
brown hosed aggregation beard that Della
had mol mar ried Chris they waxed so wroth
over the chimerical story set afloat by the
space writers that they took vengeance
Oh the Senators by allowing them III t-un
two consecutive wallops into their cadet
gray uniforms in one afternoon.
'.If Der Boss takes Il rouon to become
a Benedict, we want no monkey business, ="
said Tommy, when he was informed that
the wedding bell narrative was an iri-
descent dream.
Then Tommy told the gang that Roger
Connor's cake story didn't go, and that If
he caught oneof the yamgans [ ryin G to win
either of the two games from the Senators
he would fine him fifty plunkadaries.
''Tacks" Parrott, lie of yellow clarionette
and saffron fielding reputation, said he
was not looking for trouble and promised
that he would do his best to lose every bah
batrd his way
IN be with You in the push" chimed in
Tommy, and the scorers bear witness TO
how we'll they carried outtheir determine
ton.
And. really it appeared as If the entire

as she is not played.
GREAT TRIPLE PLAY.
The feature OF the first game was triple
play that Dad Chadwick will have to
chronicle in his baseball guide along with
Paul Hines remarkable achievement.
Triple plays are not common. Outside Of
Paul Hines feat, which he accomplished
unaided, it is a matter Of note above the
ordinary for three runners to be retired
simultaneously with as many as four
players participating in the outs.
So rare are triple plays that President
Nick Young. whose observations OF the game
have extended over 4 quarter OF century,
saw his first one yesterday.
In the remembrance of the fans the only
other triple made at National Park occurred
last season. The game was with Boston
and was the second to the last of the year
IL TOOK place between Long, Warner and
Tucker. and Mcclure. GeMontreville and
Anderson were the Senators retired.
The other triple of the '95 season. of
which record was made, was on June l3.
New York playing against st. Louis, when
Rusie, Farrell and Stafford retired three
of the Browns on a single play.
Paul Hines triple, unassisted, will prob
ably stand untouched in the years o # base ball
that are TO follow.
HOW PAUL DID IT.
1t wasmade this way: Paul was pla wing
short centerfield. Runners were on second
and third. The batter Hoped the ball over
second, apparently safe. Paul, by a won
derful sprint. scooped the sphere before it
reached the ground. AT the crack OF the
bat, therunners flew home ward. Paul. with
the bah in his hand and at full tilt, ran over
second. and continuing to third stepped
on the bag before the runner could turn and
back track.
The play that will take position In the
annals alongside of Hines singular ac-
compiishmcnt occurred yesterday.
YouDgH arvey Smith, Mr.. Wagner's recruit
from the college ranks, was the '.storm
CENTER and Ed Cartwright was ON the
other end.
1t happened like this: 1t was in the first
inning: Tommy Dowd had smashed out a
