Show TWO HITS IN ONE TIME AT m BAT Washington, Aug. 2. Can you figure fig-ure out how a batter makes a single and a triple In one inning, being charged with only one time at bat, and in an inning when only three cthers come to bat and no runs are scored? It can bo done Eddie Ainsmlth engineered this gem of baseball Wednesday Wed-nesday in the second inning of the first game with the Browns Umpiic Billy Eans was responsible for tae queer occurrence Ainsworth was at bat when Evans called time, but neither tho Browns' pitcher nor the Washington catcher understood it Allison pitched and Ainsworth swung. The net result was a single Evans ruled the 'hit did not count, as the game was not in progress prog-ress which it was made Hence AinBinith was called back to the plate, and swatted all over ngain ThiB time he produced a three-bagger, for which he was given credit Neither McBrldo nor Shanks could hit the ball out of the Infield, so no damage resulted from Ainsmlt.i's second effort, ef-fort, vhich so far excelled his first. |
