Revive “Double Squeeze”

Manager Tinker of the Chicago Federals is working a “new” play, a double squeeze. With the bases filled or with men on second and third, the batter bunts and two men try to score, the man on second getting a flying start and following the runner home from third, one sliding in front of the plate, the other behind it. The play is new to this extent. It was worked by Burns and Kelly of the old White Sox repeatedly in the late ’Bos. Lange and Dahlen worked it for a later generation of Chicago playe.-s. and it was abandoned by Aaron one day after Bill Everitt popped up a fly to the pitcher with the bases full and no one out.
