CHAMPION WEIRD PLAY.

There is many a weird tale related about plays that come off in a baseball game. but the following from Hunt ington, Ind, is the absolute limit:
 There was a runner on first base. another on third. when the team start ed a double steal. The Huntington catcher threw to third ;;and caught the runner off the base. trapping him be- tween the bags. While the catchyr and third baseman were running him up and down, the third baseman threw badly and the ball. instead of reacI- ing the catcher. went inside the shirt of the base runner. who instantly turned and raced to the plate
 The ball had gone into his shirt. which was open in front. and rolled around to the back and was sticking out above the belt. As he raced past the catcher the latter gave chase. caught the protlberance at the back of the shirt, held to it and touched the runner inside of his own shirt. The umpire called lie runner sasa. then reversed quickly. and meantime rnc man with the ball in his shirt kept on to the bench. and the other runner followed him home. The umpire after thinking it over. called the first mal safe because the infielder interferai with him in grabbing hi sshirt. and called the second runner out because the base runner interfered with the fielder by carrying away the ball.

 NEW HAVEN
Bone Gets Pitcher Henderson and Sec ond Baseman Savage from Highland ers-SeIls Zacher to Giants.

Manager George Bone of the New Ravens has bought for New Haven a couple of big leaguers. They are Pitcher Henderson and Second Base man Jimmy Savage of the New York Americans.
 He has also sold the New Haven captain and center fielder. Elmer Zach CT. to the New York Nationals.
 Henderson is regarded as an espe- cially promising pitcher. He will re- port at once.
 Savage is as much a Connecticut league player as he is anything. He lives in Southing!on and cantained the Vi1lanova college nine this year. He played with Waterbury two years un- der the name of Walsh.
 The New Haven manager was after Tom Tuckey. but says he could not get the pitcher from the Boston Ma tionals because there was no one on the New Haven team that the Ma tionals wanted. Lynn has just two players Boston was looking for and they agreed to let Tuckey go to Lynn for these two players.

Before about 250 followers oI the na- tional game, the c. A. c. team of this city and White Rock split even in their doubla header Saturday afternoaon at Sachem park. The visitors took the opening clash to B.. while the home team came back with a shutout dose Tor White Rock in the .econd to 0.
 In both games the batting of Fl cd Sullivan and Jackie Kane was of the run producing order for the c. A. C.s, with Catcher Greenwood of White Rock their chief rival with the stick, as he lined out three safeties in the first contest and and one in the second. Burrows of White Rock in the first game and Holmes of the C. A. C.'s went the pitching houors but the West erly high school boy might not have go- away with the decision in the first if the c. A. c. could have cut out some ragged work which paved the way to the plate for their opponents. In the second game Holmes had White Rock tied to the stake, allowin only three scattered singles, and not man got past second.
 Third sack was covered in great form by Jim McClafferty and McShef- frey, especially on a stop back of and over the bag by McClafferty that was the fielding feature of the game. A liner ;e left grabbed by Murphy was classy and McManuS headed them OH at second by a number of good throws.
 Phillips the big Montville slabman, did box duty for the c. A. C.'s in the curtain raiser, and was found for safe ties too often to hold the game. A pass he issued in the third. with couple of errors by Kane. and hit by Christie, put the c. A. C.'s to the bad with three runs against them. Fud Sul- livan's single and steal, with Kanes smashing double to left in the fourth gave on run back. but Burrows check ed the batting prospects by flaming the next six nien who faced him.

The Andems beat Wauregan to l at North GrosvenordGle in the ninth in- ming of a great game Saturday after noon, when Noyer threw wild from first to catch Carlson at third and the throw went wild and the runner scored and everybody yelled either with joy or despair. LiYesley and Peloquin were the opposing box artists and neither one had much on the other. From the score it may be gathered that this contest was some ball game, ard at no stage in it's progress were the fans on either side so rabid as to claim it as their own. Wauregan earned run in the fourth and the Andems dupli- cated the stunt in the fifth Then they fought it out tooth and nail until the fateful ninth.
