When Wllbert Robinson caught for the old Orioles they sprang It on him and it took him nearly a night to figure it out after the answer was told to him.

It was the old chestnut of how a team could make two triples and four singles in an Inning and yet fait to score a run. Almost every fan knows the answer. The first two men up make triples, and both are thrown out trying to Ftretch their hits into homers. Three sing' this Toronto scribe has the names to prove it. Ireland, the first batter up In the Inning, whaltd the ball for three basts.

He tried to score on a short passed ball with fatal results. Wiswell, the second batter up. also rapped out a triple, but he thought it was a home run and was ntrped at the plate. The three-bagger habit was growing, as Shumway, batter No. 3.

He was unusually vigilant and several undesirable citizens were asked to take their money back. Beutler has charge of the police arrangements at the Polo Grounds and Is compelled to employ a large force of sleuths.
