REVIVAL OF OLD PLAY

Years and years ago, King"
Kelly pulled play where he
followed Williamson right In to
the plate on a play where 1t was
apparent that the latter would
be put out when the catcher
would tag Williamson. who
would slide in one direction
Kelly would slide the opposite
way. and 1t was impossible for
the catcher to get both men. It
was play worked time and
again with one man out and
run needed to tie the score.
Since that time the play did
not come up until a few days
ago, when two Lincoln runners
came into the plate at the same
time when a short fly fell at the
feet Of Outfelder Pownall of
Wichita. Pownall threw the
ball to Catcher Griffith as both
men Slid in at the same time.
They made the mistake Of slid
ing In the same direction and
Catcher Griffith's shin guards
proved mighty handy. He
blocked the plate completely and
both men were stopped foot
away from the plate. 1t was an
easy matter to tag both and the
umpire would not allow a claim
Of interference. In this manner
an outfielder threw two men out
at the plate on the same play
There Is no record Of this play
ever having happened before. or
course. the play was not re.
hearsed as Williamson and Kelly
worked It, or the catcher could
not have tagged both men.
