fans yesterday were with the Barons,
however, and it was an unusual feat
for the fans not to ride" the mem
bers of the Baron team. The teams
playing good ball and with a few
breaks would capture the greater ma
jority of their games. Burleigh was
sick yesterday, and that accounts for
his poor showing in the box. He'll
make up for it today. Watch 'em!
Fred Derrick narrowly missed being
put out of the game yesterday. In
the third inning, Gene Paulette hit
an easy roller down the third base
line. Eddie whipped the ball to first
and the play was close. Umpire Jack
KERN, the arbiter, noted for his hand
someness and ability to avert clashes
with the fans, called Gene safe. The
Barons protested and when Jack
turned his back to walk to second,
Fred bounced the ball on the ground
about two feet in the rear of the feet
of the jumps.
Fred snatched down at the ball and
slapped it against the back of hand
some Jack, who whirled and ordered
Fred off the lot. The Barons attempt
ed to explain and after about three
minutes of squabbling, Jack listened
to their plea and after consulting UNI
pire Breitenstein found that it was
purely an accident. Maybe it was a
mistake, but Fred got away with it,
anyhow.
Following is a list of players in
major and minor leagues who have
made triple plays unassisted:
Harry OHagan of Rochester, in
game against Jersey City, August IS,
1892
Frank Eustace of Pottsville against
Lebanon, Pa, September 6, 1902.
William Mcclure of Hoquiam,
against Tacoma, September 6, 1902.
Ralps Frary of Seattle, against Port
land, May 16, 1905.
Larry Schlafly of Portland, against
Seattle, June 10, 1905.
Simon Murch of Manchester, against
New Bedford September s, 1905.
Philip Hinton of Dayton, against
Tippecanoe City, April Is, 1909.
Neal Ball of Cleveland, against Bos-
ton May 10, 1909.
Walter Carlisle of Vernon, against
Los Angeles, July 10, 1911.
Roy Aiken of Waco, against Hous-
ton, May 9, 1912.
j. Foreman of Kankakee, against
Champaign, July 10, 1912.
William Rapps of Portland, against

In the double target race II. G. Ry-

This leaves Mr.. Fletcher two wins
on the double target trophy, H. c. Ry-

AS the game neared its end, however,
the visiting defense, which had been
shattered by Alabama's plungtng tactics,
crumbled entirely, and the size of the fl
ma result was merely a matter of time.
The game was slow and disinteresting
until the last few minutes Of play. Con-
tinued injuries on the part OF the vis-
itors forced them to call for time out
again and again. and darkness had set
tied over the field before the battle was
over.
Featuring the entire afternoon was the
spectacular work Of Quarterback Green.
His open field running was by far the
best seen on the Crimson campus in
years 1t was his run of 80 yards that
placed Alabama In a position to score
her first touchdown; 1t was his rapid
fire shoot around end for a touchdown
in the last quarter that started the Mis-
sissippi disaster, and it was his brilliant
feat in running so yards through
broken field for q touchdown a few mo-
ments afterward that completed the rout
of the visitors.
Green was simply unstopable. Again and
again he twisted and squirmed his way
for IS and 20 yards, and his returning
OF punts was feature in the third quar-
ter with the ball on Missssippi's 17-yard
line. Green raced around end for an
other touchdown, but the play was called
back, an Alabama man being off side
In addition to Green, Gage did great
work for the Crimson. In the fourth pc
riod, he dashed off tackle for so yards,
and carried the ball to Mississippis 5-yard
