If you have. you are one Of
the very few fans in the vast army
that follows the national pastime who
has been fortunate enough to witness
a three ply killing unassisted.
The uHassisted triple play =
just about as scarce a. the fur

nit that is some scarce. In the
many years that baseball records
have been kept. there have been
10 unassisted triple plays record
ed. and only two Of the 10 were
made in the major leagues.
The records or unassisted triple
plays came in for q lamping recently
when Phil CoOney. second baseman OF
the Omaha tWestern league club,
pulled off one of the triple killings
uuassiSted in a game at Denver. Coo
ney was playing second base for the
Omaha club and there were men on
both first and second when he caught
a line drive He tagged the runner
who was coming from first base when
the ball was hit, and then hoped
back on second in time TO retire the
runner who had left that station for
third base.
Records show it to be the first triple
play unasSlsted that has ever been
made in the Western league. and the
tenth IN the history OF baseball Coo
