From present indications the sea-
son OF 1910 promises to be one OF the
moot remarkable In the history CT
major league baseball. The season is
Just two months old and we
have had some OF the greatest battles
known to the diamond. The weather

work. the loss TO the magnates will
be tremendous.
The season opened April IA and
since then two "no-hit" games have
been pitched. Five one-hit games
have taken place. Three triple plays
have been pulled off, one in the Amer
lean league and two In the National
league.
In addition to the above perform
aDces. the Philadelphia National
league team has worked the triple
steal. a feat that is seldom worried
successfully. In fact, the triple steal
has been pulled of but four times 10
