TRIPLE PLAYS.
~ AUL HINES Of the Providence
- club made the first unassisted
triple play recorded in base ball
on May 8, 1878, playing against
Boston. He caught q nv ball,
came tearing in toward the infield and
put out the two other runners. who
we're confused because they had not ex-
peeted him to catch the ball.
Year afterward very contemplate
attempt was made to discredit this play
by one who was envious of Hines
Some record books went so far as to
say that Hines had not made the play.
Two players are alive today who saw
the play and were in the game. One
Of them is George Wright of Boston
and the other John Burdock of
Brooklyn. Wright played shortstop
and Burdock second base for Boston,
and the word Of either Of them is worth
more than the hearsay Of one who, for
some reason, was personally antago-
nistic toward the player who had done
something in organized base ball not on
record UP to that time.
After that there were several I'M
assisted triple plays in the minor
leagues, but none III the big leagues
until 1909, when Neal Ball of Cleveland
made one against Boston.
The most thrilling unasSisted triple
play in super base ball series, and the
first in world series, was made in
Cleveland on October 10, 1920, by Bill
Wanbsganss, second baSeman of the
Cleveland team, against Brooklyn.
The other evening Bill recited the
story OF that play to an audience that
was thrilled.

1T was the fifth inning of the game.
Kilduff batted safely to left field for
Brooklyn. Miller singled to center field.
Mitchell was the next batter, and some
thing told me that he was going to

But 1t kept running through my head
that the next play was coming my way.

N YEW YORK, February ga good
part of the base ball fra
ternity was in New York to-
day prepared to talk and per-
haps to trade.
The International and Eastern
leagues meet today, but most interest
is in the annual schedule meeting Of
the N..ional League at the Commodore
Hotel tomorrow.
Except for the schedule itself, the
National League is confronted with
little business Of Importance, although
there was q possibility that several
trades under consideration for some
time may be completed before the
meeting breaks up.
Dame Rumor has it that the Pitts
burgh Pirates are ready to trade Bur-
leigh Grimes, star right handed spit
baller, for a second baseman who can
combine a little hitting with his field
ing Grimes, according to reports. is
asking for a contract of $4,000 for the
1880 season, price that Barney Drey-
fuss, owner of the Pirates, hardly will
be inclined to pay. The Pirates may
find a market for Grimes in Cincinnati
Dazzy Vance is another pitcher whose
future appears a bit clouded. 1t Is
understood the Brooklyn Robins are
trying to shave about $1,000 on the
contract they gave the dazzler last
year and Vance is believed to have
baked. A trade might solve this diff
ficulty, although there is more than
little doubt as to whether Wilbert Rob-
inson would let the speedball king go
at any price.

Columbus Pros Poorest Is

y AN ANTONIO, Tex, February g.
Densmore Shute, almost unknown
until he won the Los Angeles
open less than a month ago
stood forth today as the sensation of
the Winter month golf tournaments
He had cashiers check for $500 in
his pocket, first prize in the Texas
open, and definitely had removed him
self from the morning glory class.
The young Columbus, Ohio, star was
popularity believed to have shot slightly
above his head when he won the coast
event. Those who saw him burn down
the Breckenridge Park course here the
iast three days realize it was a mistaken
impression. He was Just beginning to
FIRE
If ever a man shot super-perfect golf,
it was Shute in the 72-hole grind that
closed late yesterday. His total of 277
strokes tells only part of the story. His
rounds of So, SO, 90 and II over the
tricky par-7l layout were shot under
almost every imaginable condition. On
Saturday, in a misting rain and over q
sodden course, he did a 50, and in his
final round yesterday, with three oppo-
nents right on his heels and a gallery
billowing about him all the way, he
calmly registered par II. They pay on
on that kind of golf.
Par Shooters Lose.
While Shutes breath-taking game
was thing OF beauty to the spectators.
1t was tough on the other boys. Four
OF his golhng compatriots ended with
par or better for the three-day struggle
and found themselves accepting checks
IN three figures. Al Espinosa, Chicago
veteran; I'd Dudley, Wilmington, Del,
and Neal Mcintyre, indianapolis, ali
came in with totals Of $50, four under
par, yet had to be content with SI,7O0
divided between them. Tony Manero,
Elmsford. N. Y, had a perfect 2a4, for
which he pceketed $500.
Two ruling favorites before the
tourney began almost were lost In the
scramble. Wild Bill Melhorn, winner
two straight years, received less than
500 for his 289. Horton Smith, whose
rise to the golfng heights last Winter
was comparable to the present one of
Shute, finished with 2o9 licks and had
nothing except regrets.
Jack Forester, Hackensack, N. J..
who scored hole-in-one on his initial
round, split sixth and seventh money.

Firm Footing Gives
Essential Balance
BY SOL METzGER.

In seeking for truth in a sand
trap the golfer must study the sand
itself. 1t is not a firm substance,
as all who read the Good Book
learned in infancy. Thus, one must
study its consistency and condition
in each sand trap encountered.
As every golf shot needs a firm
footing for balance, be sure to grind
your feet as deeply into the sand as
you can when addressing the ball.
AL have seen players enter a trap
OF sand that seems firm. They did
everything they should in taking
their stance, but they dubbed the
shot. Why?
The reason Is that when address,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-02-03

ing the ball they did not sink In
because the weight was distributed
between both feet. But as they
made their backswings, the weight
transferred mostly to the right leg.
that foot sunk In. Result, the blade
of their niblick did not enter the
sand as they figured. 1t struck
this surface an inch or SO farther
back. Dig into sand with both feet.
And when you get the ball out rake
over the holes you have made.
Why waste the years irving to
lower your score by disregarding in
structions? Sol Metzger has pre-
pared a free leafiet on the pivot,
which he viii send to any reader
