The 1910 baseball season promises
to he more remarkable than any year
in the annals of the great nationai
game. First of all the weather man
has entered into the spirit of the game
and provided rare species OF weather
establishing little record OF his own.
The season opened April IA and
since then two "no-hit" games nave
been pitched. Five one-hit games have
taken place, three triple plays have
been pulled off, one In the American
league and two in the National league.
In addition to the above perform.
ances the Philadelphia National
league team has worked the triple
steal, a feat that is seldom worked
successfully; in fact, the triple steal
has been pulled off but four times In
the history of the major league base
ball.
Jesse Burkett, Dick Padden and Joe
sugden worked it against the Athlet-
les in st Louis back In 1905. Burkett
was the one to start the play. Jesse
was on first. with Sugden holding
down second and Padden resting on
third. Jesse started for second, and
Padden seeing his move, started for
home. and before the Athletics were
wise to the play, Padden had crossed
the plate, Jesse was on second and
Sugden was resting on third.
The Athletics against whom the
play was worked in 1905, were the
next to pull eff the triple steal, but
they did not do it until 1908. Connie
Mack's boys were playing in Washing
ton on the latter's grounds and were
unable to do anything with the Sena'
tors twirler. Toward the close OF the
game the Athletics succeeded IN GET
ting three men on bases ana MI

do you like the way this wagon
pulls?" the masked man at the wheel
asked.
The answer that came up from
among gears and shafts and pinions
wasn't strictly a reply to the question
or an evasion.
II was just wondering" unused the
passenger, what this car would do If
|it didn't have a steady hill or few
telegraph poles In its way. Or what
would it do going down hill wide open

chances. Davis was on third and
Coombs held down second, while Old
ring was perched on first. Connie
Mack signaled Oldring to make a
break for second In order to draw a
throw to first, thus giving Davis a
chance to come home.
Oldring made one or two attempts
to 20 to second, but no throw was
forthcoming from the pitcher, and
Connie, as last resort, gave his men
the signal from the bench to steal.
Oldring, quick as a fash darted for
second and Coombs toward third,
while Harry Davis hoofed It home,

the move, Davis had scored
The following season saw another
triple steal worked successfully, and

again figured in the play, but this time
they were on the losing end. Harry
