The unassisted triple play is just about as scarce as the fuzz on a is "some' scarce. In. the many years that baseball records have been kept there have been ten un- assisted triple plays recorded, and only two of the ten were made in the major leagues he records of unassisted triple plays came in for a lamping recent- ly when Phil Cooney, second base man of the Omaha (Western Lea- gue) "club, pulled off one of the triple killings unassisted in a game Cooney was playing se- "Omaha club, and there were-Tien on both- first aad second when he caught a line drive He tagged the runner who was com- ing from first base when the ball was hit, and then hopped back on second in time to retire the runner who had left that station for third base. Records show it to be the first triple play unassisted that has ever been made in the Western League, and the tenth in the history of base- ball. first to occur in five years, the last being made by Player Foreman, at Kankakee, Ill, in 1913. Paul Hines, of the old Providence (National League) club, was the first player in the history of the organized game to pull off an un- assisted triple made at Providence way back in May of 1878, and there elapsed a period of 24 years before the second unassisted triple play went on record. Harry O"Hagan of the Rochester - (Eastern - League. club made the second play of this kind at Jersey City in August, 1902. Aside" from Hines, Neal Ball is the only major league player to pull off the play. Ball made his unassist- ed triple play at Cleveland in July of 1909. : Players Miller, Cruise and Long of the St. Louis Cards pulled off a triple steal at Boston this season, which caused a Beantown scribe to dig into the records 'of the National League. Said scribe found that it was thé first triple steal ever made in the old league and the fourth madé in the history of major league base- j ball, So the triple bteal is even more scarce than the unassisted triple play, The American League record) show that three triple steals have been made by its players. The first on record. in the younger eircuit oe- curred in 1905, when Sugden, Pad- den and Burkett of the Browns worked a triple theft on the Ath- letics." In 1008 Oldring, Coombs and Davis of the Macks scored a triple steal against Washington. The third in the American League came in 1916, when Johnson, Austin, and Sisler of the Browns, pulled the play against Detroit, Cobb Still on Top. With a average of .339, George Sisler, the youthful first-base star with St. Louis, has batted his way to unofficial averages published. Cobb is safely out in front with .375. ors. He has crossed the plate 52 aleo leads in total bases hitting, hav- thirteeen triples and runs, three home ON.

Twenty of his blows were doubles, Dayle, Carrigan, or Needham His Probable Successor. 3 Although it would-be unfair to blame Manager William Donovan for the failure of the New York Highlanders, it is said on the best of authority that hé will pot be re- tained when his contract expires in the fall. It is understood that Pre- sident Johnson of the American League will support the owners of the team when they decide to én- gage~-a new manager. For several days Col. Ruppert has been caonfer- ring with President Johnson in Chi- cago, - They have talked over the wire with Capt. Huston, who is with 'the '6th Regiment of Engineers -in Detroit, and it is reported that seve- ral candidates for Donovap's place have been discussed. Foremost among these candidates)is Larry Doyle, former captain apd second baseman of the Glants, who now is a meniber of the Cubs, but is nearing. the end of his active career as a player. If Doyle isn't the final: selection for Donovan's place, two other well- known baseball field marshals - will be considered. One of them is Wil- liam Carrigan, Tormer leader of the Red Sox, who retired last winter. The other is Thomas Needham, who is managing the Newark Interna- tional League team. It is known that Johnson is strong for both Car- rigan and Needham, while Messrs. Ruppert and Huston at present are l inclined to favor Doyle, who is | highly regarded by them, and has ybeen well recommended by influ- ential baseball men. Results count in baseball, so that Ruppert and Huston, who never have made money out of the High- landers; believe that-Donovan must go. But in selecting another team leader, they are moving slowly and deliberately. Donovan has en- countered many obstacles, and never has® complained. He has blamed nobody' for the team's fall frown grace. , Caldwell's misconduct was not due to Donovan's mismanage- ment, for the erratic pitcher simply repeated the tricks that first got him in trouble with Frank Chance.

Wallopy Pipp of the Yankees, and Gavvy Cravath of the Phillies, are staging a pretty race for the title of home run king in the major leagues this season.' Up to. July 1st Cravdth had the lead on his American league rival, having poled out seven homers, but the season is just half over, and between now and the first of October the Yankee star has time aplenty to catch ap. There is little room for doubt that Cravath and Pipp are destined to be crowned as the home Tun kings of their respectivé" leagues this season for both are so far abd of Would-be 'kings of the "run homes" that they can scarcely be overhauled. 1 Pipp has an advantage over Cra- vath because of his youth and his speed. faster than Cravath, who often pulls up at third base these days on hits that would have been homers for him in the heyday of his career when his legs were nimble, NEW EITCHERS GOING GOOD Sothoron and Cadore Are the Real Finds, Two newcomers in major league pitching ranks this season are show- ing themselves capable of an unusual amount of work, but getting little mention. They are Allan Sothoron, of the Browns, and Leon Cadore, of the Dodgers, Pitching 'dverages, which include games of July 11th, show that Sothoron has won nine out of 15 gamed for St. Louis, while Cadore has captured eight of 15 for the ers, ' Neither of these pitchers was ex- pected to shake mp 'the big circuits with surprise when the sedason open- ed, yet both are comsistent, and -as BATTLE FOR CROWN | against an even half dozen for Pipp, | He can circle the bases mueh |! the season advances they are improv- Ferdie Schupp, the wonder pitcher National, and Williams, of the White Sox, the leader Schupp has 11 victories and two de- feats to his credit, while Williams has nine and three. » Sim Love, of the Yankees, stil has a perfect average with five victories and no defeats, but he works only at intervals.
