The Union Works won undisputed
claim to last place in the Industrial

postponed game to 2. Both teams
were tied for last place at the end
of the leagues regular season.
AL Blanchard was on the mound
for the winners and after the second
inning was invincible. Eleven of the

so effective were his shoots. From
the fourth inning until one man was

The losers scored one run in the
first on a hit by Williams, his steal
of second, and a one base blow by
Casey. In the second the Workers

SPLIT ON Use Of
PARK PLAY field
Rangers and An.NeW Britains
to Divide Privilege

A plan by which both the Ran
gers and the All-New Britain foot
ball teams may be seen in Sunday
games next season was worked out
last night by the board of park COM
missioners.
Each team was an applicant for
a lease insuring it of a playing field
and the managers were called be-
fore the board last night to discuss
proposals. 1t was made plain at the
outset that the city's financial in
terest this year is a great one since
an investment is being made in
bleachers and it is desired that the
income be commensurate.
DR.. A. Zwick. coach of the Ran
gers advanced the idea Of dividing
the Sundays so that both teams
would be on fairly even basis, He
called attention to the fact that the
Rangers are local proposition and
that the boys play for the love Of
the game rather than for profit,
while the All-New Britain team is
composed of high priced profession
ais.
This point pleased Chairman VII
liam F. Brooks OF the park board
who remarked that the Ranger type
Of football is that intended for WI
low Brook park.
After some further discussion Dr..
Zwick suggested that the Rangers
be allowed four Sundays and the All
New Britain club the remainder.
October and November 81 were
accepted as two of the four dates
and the remainder Of the schedule
will be determined when represent
atives OF the clubs meet at 4 Later
date.
The Rangers will pay 10 per cent
of the gross receipts while the All
New Britain club will pay SIS a
game with the city reserving the
privilege of taking 10 per cent OF
the gross receipts.

BY BILLY EVANS

A triple play unassisted is unques-
tionably baseball's rarest fielding
feat.
Despite the fact that the Nation
al League has been in operation
over SO years, being formed in 1875,
and the American League has been
in business since 1900, a mere mat
ter of IS years. only seven unassis-
ted triple plays by infielders have
been made in the majors.
Neal Ball, shortstop for the
Cleveland club, made the first un-
assisted triple play in 1909. 1t 7ias
during the 10th season of the
American League. During its 81
years of existence prior to that
time, no National League infielder
had ever retired all three men un-
assisted on the same play.
Once Neal Ball started the vogue,
it became popular and now seven
players are entitled to a rating In
major leagues Hall of Fame be-
cause they have made triple plays
unassisted.
1t is a very interesting fact that
all seven players who have perform
ed such an extraordinary feat are
still connected with baseball. Five
are still in the majors. two of
them, Burns and Padgett, are on
the same club. Cleveland, Neun is
with Detroit, Wright with Pittsburgh
and Cooney with Philadelphia.
The other two triple play heroes
have passed to the minors. Bill
Wambsganns, the only player ever
to have turned the trick in world
series, is now with Kansas City.
This happened in the 1920 clash be-
tween Cleveland and Brooklyn,
Wamby playing second base for the
former. Neal Ball recently resigned
as manager of an Eastern League
team.
No third baseman in the majors
has made a, triple play. 1t has
thrice been performed by shortstops
and twice by first and second base
men.
Recently the triple play unassisted
germ became contagious. In 1928,
George Burns and Ernie Padgett
came through with only a short
space of time between the two plays.
This year but few days separated
such plays by Cooney. then with
the Chicago Cubs, and Neun OF De-
troit.
For an infielder to make triple
play unassisted it is almost neces-
sary that the hit and run sign be
out. The haserunners must be in
motion with the pitch and the ef-
fort of the batsman must be a
speedy line drive.
That in a measure explains why
no triple plays unassisted were
made until 1909, even though the
National League was founded as far
hack as 1876, The hit and run play
is more or less modern strategy,
that doesn't date back much farth-
ar than 25 years.

Legion Team TO
PLAY IN DANbURY
Eddy-GloYer Post Favored to
Again Take State Title

The Eddy-Gloved post baseball
team will be off for Danbury tomor-
row to tackle the Taftville team of
the American Legion's Baseball
League in the first semi-final game
to the state championship battle to
be staged Thursday afternoon. The
players will leave by bus from the
Eddy Glover post rooms at o'clock
tomorrow morning and the game in
Danbury will be started at 10
o'clock.
The local team has been organ
lied and coached by Larry Mangan.
astute baseball mentor. Last year
under his direction, the team went
through the gauntlet of state and
district teams to win the highest
laurels in the state league. It was
beaten later In an inter-sectionai
contest with the Providence team
from Rhode Island but the laxity of
the enforcement of the rules that
time brought team much bigger
and apparently much older to meet
the local squad.
New Britain is favorite to again
cop the state championship. Most Of
the members of the team played TO-
gether last season and they are sea
soned veterans. Those places which
had to be filled this Year because of
some last years players passing the
age limit, have been plugged with
the best material available.
At the same time tomorrow morn
ing, the New Haven team will play
Watertown. This will be another
semi-final game and the winners of
the morning contests will meet in
afternoon in the final game which
will decide the championship.

Burritts and West Ends
To PLAY Double Header

Arrangements have been complet-
ed by the City league president, Ken
Saunders, for a double header to be
played Saturday afternoon between
the Burritts and the West Ends. One
is a regular scheduled game while
the other is a postponed affair. The
first game will start at two o'clock
and the second at four. They will
be played on diamond No. :. This
Junior City league game scheduled
for the diamond at four has been
changed to a. different date These
two games will have very impor-
tant effect on the league standing.
Work is being done in an effort to
play other postponed games. The
Rangers and Tabs will probably play
a double header on the 2Sth.'
