A Triple Play.

It was at the end of the ninth in.
ming Yet. though the home team
was two runs to the good, things
looked black for them.
The visitors were at bat. There
were no outs. and three men were on
bases; also Terrible Terry TomkinS
was up, and Terry's batting average
reached the clouds.
Terry hunched his shoulders and
waited confidently, and a groan went
up from the bleachers.
The ball few in three pieces, and the
pieces few in three directions. One
was caught by the pitcher, one was
pulled out of the air by the shortstop.
and one landed in the first ;baseman's
mitt. A triple play The game was

The bleachers went wild.-Philadel-

panel of the door by means of brace
and bit, large enough to admit man S
arm. This allowed the burglar to take
away the prop that was holding the
door and to spring the bolt.

baby was thrown out of the buggy, the
hind wheel passing over he'child, which
was picked up but found to be unhurt.
Fortunately all escaped from even get
