Famous Play

Is Celebrated

LOS ANGELES, July 20 (U. P.), ~—Sports record books immortalize names of a few baseball infielders who have carried out triple plays unassisted, But there's only one outfielder who has ever turned such a trick —Walter Carlisle, center fielder for the old Vernon Tigers of the Pacific Coast league July 19, 1911. Yesterday at Wrigley field a ceremony marked the 33d anniversary of his famous play and honored both Carlisle, now an oil company employee, and Harry A. Williams, one-time Los Angeles Times sports editor whose description of the maneuver took five full columns of space. It was the sixth inning of the Angels-Tigers game, with the score tied, when Charles Moore, first Los Angeles hitter, walked to first after being hit by a pitched ball, then stole second. George Metzger, the next batter, walked. Then Roy Aiken socked a fly to center. The three Angel runners sped around the bases.

thrilling one-handed catch that bowled him head over heels with his momentum. Landing on his feet, Carlisle raced to second base, touching the sack as Moore was rounding third and -Metzger was midway between second and third. That was a triple play, Carlisle thought, but Umpire George Hildebrand ruled he must touch first base to make it official. He raced to first inches ahead of Metzger.

Lindell’s Homer Wins for Yanks

NEW YORK, July 20 (U. P).— The New York Yankees, thanks to a three-run homer by Johnny Lindell, squared accounts with the Browns in their big series for the American league lead today. . While the Yankees were whittling the Browns’ lead to two games with a 8 to 5 victory last night, Manager Billy Southworth of the Cardfinals was as fretful as ever over his Cardinals, now a fat 12% games in front in the National league. Shrugging a discussion of possible world series opposition for fear of putting-a “whammy” on the Cardinals, Southworth said “it is downright foolish to talk about such things with matters as uncertain as they are in baseball, particularly in a wartime season like this.” The Yankees were the “best club” last night, twice coming from behind, with Lindell’s homer in the sixth the deciding factor. The blow put-the skids on Sig Jakucki, who had pitched a strong game up to that point. Relief Pitcher George Caster came on after Nick Eiten singled and yielded two more singles to Don Savage and Mike Milosevich, Etten scoring with the mar. ginal run. Ernie Bonham, shaky at the start, allowed 12 hits, but kept the Browns scorless after the anh to gain his six victory.

THE LAND OF PLENTY

THE two things on which this nation relies for food— farmers to grow it, railroads to move it—have again come through.

Farmers have seen their fine young sons go off to war; but with the help of the women folks and the smaller boys and girls they’ve been out there tending and harvesting one of the largest crops ever to

come to market.

And the railroads, while shoul- » dering the greatest war load in history, have mobilized the cars to move those crops...at low

prewar freight rates, too!
