AS remember it somebody hit a
fly to Ross Young with man on
third. Young made a quick throw
to the plate and the man on third,
who had started to go home after
the catch, beat it back, seeing he
couldn't score. The catcher. how
ever, made a quick throw to third
and the runner was chased back
and forth.

who started the play, making a dou.

Evers. He. Joe Tinker, and Frank
Chance were a great double-play
combination, maybe the greatest
there ever was in the game. But
the phrase, Tinker to Evers to
Chance" didn't really start through
that. 1t was like this:
One day q ball was hit a little on
the other side of second base over
to where Tinker was playing. Evers
came over to field the ball. 1t hit
him on the shoulder, bounced over
to Tinker and he scooped the ball
to Evers, who made the put-out at
second and shot the ball over to
Chance for double play.
Out Of all the crowd only one
newspaper man, Evers says, really
was wise to the play. Everybody
thought it was an honest-to-good
