TRIPLE PLAYS
ARE FREQUENT
Seven Stunts Of That Nature
We're Pulled Off Last
Season
GAME GROWING FASTER
WITH BIG LEAGUERS

Seven triple plays were pulled of
in the National League during the
season of 1910, and several in the
American League. This is consid-
cred remarkable, for a triple play Is
one Of baseballs novelties. There
are dyed-in-the-wool fans who have
been attending games for two or three
decades and yet who have never seen
a play of this kind. One critic said
recently that he had been reporting
baseball games for twelve years and
had never seen a triple play made
Spalding's Record, just published.
devotes full page to the triple plays
made during the season OF 1910. and
the matter is interesting enough TO
warrant reproduction here.
The first triple play Of the season
took place at the Polo grounds, New
York, early IN April. New York was
playing Brooklyn. in the sixth in
ming, with Wheat and Burch on the
bases, Bridwell stopped Hummel's
grounder and threw TO Doyle for a
force out Doyle doubled the batter
at first, and Burch, who had Overrun
Dcvlin 10 Meyers
The next one took place April 2S, at
Boston, by Brooklyn. In the seventh
inning Boston started a rally which
looked promising. With two on the
basses Boston's prospects we're sud-
denly checked when Burch, Daubert,
McElveen, Berger. and Tony Smith put
through a triple play which dashed
Boston's hopes.
On July 20, at Cincinnati, where
New York was playing, Doyle was on
third and Becker on second for the
Giants. Murray raped to Downey,
who stepped on third, retiring Doyle
as well as the batter, and threw 10
Egan, retiring Becker. On July 30,
with Chicago at ST. Louis, two men
were on bases when a liner was bat
ted TO Hauser who touched the bag.
threw TO Kennedy at first, easily get
ting the runner
The Giants figured in their third
triple play Of the season on August
27, at Chicago. The play was against
New York and was made by Evers
and Zimmerman. Evers caught a
line drive that had been detected
from the glove of the pitcher. got the
second putout himself and tried for
the third, but found he could not
make Il without throwing TO zimmer-
man.
On September . Cincinnati made a
triple play against Pitsburg on the
Reds grounds. the second Of the year
in Cincinnati. With Flynn on second
and Wilson on first Gibson flied to
Hoblitzell. Hobby threw to Egan. who
was covering first, retiring Flynn.
Still another triple play was added
to the long and unusual list in the
National League In "a game between
Chicago and Cincinnati on October .
Il took place in the third inning oi
the game at Cincinnati when fly ball
was batted TO Sheckard. He fielded
it home in time for the second out
and King. who got the ball, caught
the player off first, Archer making
the third putout

YORK WILL
HAVE SOME TEAM

York looks TO have good founda-
ton on which to build its 1911 Tri-
State League team.
Manager Weigand wants Harry Bar
ton on his club but Reading will hard
ly lei Harry get away.
In Rogers and Smith York has two
good pitchers and in Rementer a reli-
able veteran backstop.
Abbott and Strait are two good out
fielders so IL will be seen that York is
not in a bad way at all.
Far from it.
Johnstown, too, has a string of
likely players. Whether or not Il can
retain them all under the present re-
stricted salary limit remains to be

eUY ROLLS NEcEsSARY.
Without They Wires May Sag Causing
Trouble All Arnnnd.

An official Of the Delaware and At
iantic Telegraph and Telephone Com
pany, referring TO the refusal OF the
Directors OF the Street and Sewer De-
partment 10 allow the erection of any
more guy poles, said this morning
that he did not see the necessity for
such a refusal The guy poles which
the company will need to erect will
chiefly be in the suburbs. II is COM
paratively seldom, he said, that a guy
pole is needed; IL is used only where
there is a sharp angle 10 turn. This be-
ing so, as long as ordinary poles were
erected, he did not see the particular
advantage gained by forbldding guy
poles. He said there would be disad-
vantages II the company had 20 get
along without guy poles. That heavy
wires for a considerable length would
sag sooner or later and there was dan
ger Of their falling on trolley or other
wires underneath, making crossed
wires He also stated that the forbid
ding Of guy poles did not mean that
the company would need to use under
ground wiring.
