TRIPLE PLAYS ARE RARE.
eut Two Men Have Pulled Them OF
UnassIsted.


A triple play is one Of the rare
things In baseball, because 1t requires
a combination Of circumstances which
seldom occur. There must be at least
two men on the bases, and no one out
Then the next batter must hit the ball
in a certain way, or the chance for
triple Is lost. In addition to this, the
fielding must be perfect and fast. But
two triple plays, made by one man I'M
assisted, have ever been recorded.
One was the famous play OF Paul
Hines way back in the early sos.
The other is fresh in the mind. al
though 1t was made in a minor
league
In 1901 Harry O'Hagan was playing
first base for Columbus, in the West
ern association. Tin canned, he went
East to Newark, and the day after he
donned a New Jersey uniform he
pulled off the play that made him
famous. With men on first and second
and, OF course, nobody out, OHagan
was playing close to the bag, when
the next batter hit liner directly into
his hands. The force of the ball was
enough to knock him back so that his
foot touched the first sack, retiring
the runner, who was off the base.
O'Hagan, turning to throw to second,
saw that the runner there had started
at the crack of the bat and was nearly
to third. So, instead of throwing the
ball, he sprinted to second base with
it in his hand, arriving in time to put
the third man out on the play.
Last season the Kansas City club
of the American association made two
triple plays in one game at Toledo.

religious sect of the Babists. This
Mohammedan organization was found

"Bejan"-the Koran of this sect-al

and nineteen days, of which the latter
five are devoted to repentance. OF

300 live in Persia. where they have
been allowed to build their OWL
churches, while the remainder Is
