The Ball Game.

The game is worthy of a sub-head-

tinctiOn because of one play made
In the fifth inning of the game-a
play unusual and sensational enough
to have happened in the Nile Valley
league-but didn't, for it occurred
in Cibola-I swear it did-and this is
it:
First half of fifth inning. South
End in field, North End at bat. No
outs. DeWein on first base, Morgan
on second, Birch at bat
Birch picks out a nice one served
by Pitcher Packard, driving a vicious
lofting liner over second base. Sec
Ond Baseman Leach runs for it, but
the base runners Judge that by no
possibility can he bag the ball. They
start for the next bag. Leach leaps
into the air and garners in the pill
one out. Leisurely he takes two or
three steps to second base. retiring
Morgan-two out. Casually he reach
es out and touches DeWein, who had
come too far to get out of the way,
retiring him also-three out. Net re-
sult-triple play by Leach unassisted
