Show Washington Triple-Play Was Most Extraordinary That triple play made by the' Nationals Na-tionals in the third inning of the second sec-ond game of a Washington double bill in Philadelphia probably was the most, extraordinary three-ply killing ever consummated in modern big league baseball. Five Nationals handled the ball to erase the three Mackmen ; no catch of a liner was involved; there was no real run-down during the play, and an out was registered at every base except ex-cept home plate. It was a baseball freak. Here's what happened in the inniDg: Galloway and Quinn drew passes from Palmero. Bishop sent a grounder ground-er to Bucky Harris, who was playing nearer first than second base. The middle-sacker, after grabbing the ball, tried to tag out Quinn 011 the line, but missed. Bucky then heaved to Judge, retiring Bishop. Judge whipped the ball to Peckin-paugh Peckin-paugh covering second and Quinn was touched out as he ran into the sack. In the meanwhile, Galloway had passed third base. Peck shot the ball to Eluege and Galloway was trapped. When Bluege threw to Ruel, Chick immediately im-mediately tried to regain third, but found Bluege waiting with Ruel's return re-turn when he got there. |
