TURTLE LAKE
Is set TO GO
NOrtherners Coming Here
Sunday to Play Bismarck;
Game Starts at 3

Some of the star players of the
northeast Slope will be here Sunday
when Turtle Lake comes south to
play the Bismarck team on the local
diamond. The game is due to start
at o'clock sharp.
Turtle Lake, which has won nearly
all its games this season, has added
several new men to it's lineup. Either
Jack Gesellchen or new recruit,
who has just rounded out a season
with the Martin team, will do the
twirling. Several other new men are
to be placed in strategic positions,
thus strengthening the lineup.
Turtle Lake is to play the out
standing Omemee- G ardena team next
Sunday and therein lies the reason
why the nine is not taking part in
the Slope baseball tournament here
next week. The game with Omemee-
Gardena was booked before the
tournament plans were announced
and as a result Turtle Lake, though
wanting to enter, was unable to do
so. - :.
Charley Boardman is to do the
pitching for Bismarck Sunday sand
will be in there with his usual ar.
ray Of battling curves and drops
Nelson will do the receiving and this
new recruit can be counted on to do
his share, not only behind the bat
but also with it.
Eddie Tobin will be at first and
Babe Mohn at second. Shorty Full.
Ter will hold down the third sack
Long John Sagehorn will be in his
customary place, as shortstop and
Jones, Lenaburg and Kelly Simonson
probably will be in the outer gar.

MINUS ASSIST
RARE THING
Only Seven Made in A. L.. His.
tory; COOney and Neun
Do 1t This Year
BY BILLY EVANS

A triple play unassisted is unques-
tionably basebalPs rarest fielding
feat.
Despite the fact that the National
League has been in operation over
SO years, being formed in 1876, and
the American League has been in
business since 1900, mere matter of
20 years, only seven unassisted triple
plays by infieldcrs have been made
in the majors.
Neal Ball, shortstop for the Cleve-
land club, made the first unassisted
triple play in 1900. 1t was the 10th
season Of the American League.
During it's "a years Of existence
prior to that time, no National
League infielder had ever retired
all three men unassisted on the same
play.
Proves Popular
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 per-
formed such an extraordinary feat
are still connected with baseball.
Five are still in the majors, two of
shem, Burns and Padgett, are on
the same club, Cleveland, Neun is
with Detroit, WRIGHT with Pitts
burgh. and Cooney with Philadelphia.
The other two triple play heroes
nave passed to the minors. Bill
Wambsganns, the only player ever
to have turned the trick in world
a. To-,
This happened in the 1920 clash be-
tween cleveland and Brooklyn,
Wamby playing second base for the
former. Neal Ball recently resigned
las manager of an Easterns League
team.
No third baseman in the majors
has made triple play. It has thrice
been performed by .shoftst6ps and
twice by first and second basemen.
germ became contagious. In 1928
George Burns and Ernie Padgett
came through with only short
space of time between the two plays.
This year but a few days separated

Chicago Cubs, and Neun of Detroit
Signs Must BE Right
For an infielder to make triple
play unassisted it is almost necessary
that the hit and run sign be out
The baserunners must be in motion
with the pitch and the effort Of the
batsman must be q speedy line drive
That. in q nneasure explains why
no triple plays unaesisted were made
until 1909, even though the National
League was founded as far back al
1876. The hit and run olay II lore

"AWERICANS LIKE THESE"

After wading through divorce messes 'Hot Mama
trials, triangle cases., columns about lady sayers
and ladies who slain by their spouses, it is like
getting cool drink in parched desert to observe
picture such shown in yesterdays Press.
We refer to the photograph of Mr.. and Mrs. Victor
Piezzi Of Santa Rosa, taken their golden wedding
anniversary, accompanied by the man and woman who
were best man and bridesmaid fifty years ago.
Golden wedding anniversaries are not unusual des-
pite the fact that they almost obscured by so much
notoriety given to divorce But it is unusual to
have the four principals at a wedding able to get to-
geher to have their photograph taken after fifty years
have passed.
1t is also interesting to note that the principals are
foreigners That is they were foreigners fifty
nine years when Mr.. Piezz and his best man came
from Switzerland. One has only to look at the picture
to know that all four much American now as
old Sitting Bull himself.
Someone made suggestion few weeks ago that
instead of restricted quota, (Which undoubtedly does
shut out many who would make good citizens as we'll
as the rff-raf) immigrants be admitted as formerly
but that the first violation of the law would cause
their deportation. 1t probably wouldn't work out as
we'll IN practice it sounds theoretically but there
is no getting away from the fact that America can
always use and should welcome immigrants like the
PieZZis.
