Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 156, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 July 1918 — SPEAKER’S GREAT FEAT. [ARTICLE]

SPEAKER’S GREAT FEAT.

One 1918 performance that seems to be a record breaker is the making of two unassisted double plays in one season by an outfielder, said outfielder being the world’s greatest—Tristram E. Speaker. To make two unassisted double plays in one game Is going some, too. Dick Hoblitzel turned this trick when he was with Cincinnati in a game with Philadelphia. Pop Anson did the same thing for Chicago against Brooklyn in 1891.
