Mr. Murphy would not discuss the

JACK kERIH's FREAK DOUBLE PLAY

One of the most remarkable
double plays recorded in baseball
was made by Jack Kerins, when
he was playing first base for
Louisville.
The play occurred against
Brooklyn. Krins, in taking a fly
ball, backed up to get under the
sphere, but the wind carried the
ball farther than he had figured,
so he continued to walk backward.
As he took the last step he tripped
upon the base bag and fell back
ward.
There was a runner leading off
third at the time, who, seeing
Kerins fall, dashed for the plate
without going back to the bag,
when to his chagrin Kerins sud-
denly got upon his feet and throw
ing the ball to the third baseman,
completed a neat double play. He
had caught the ball while lying
flat upon his back.
