Makes Triple Play Unassisted. Bill Rodgers. formerly with the In dians, achieved undving fame on July 24 when he executed an unassisted triple play against Salt Lake, while plaving second base for the Portland Salf Lake had Ort on first and Ryan on second in the last half of the sec- ond. Cmigni, the next man up, drove a vicious liner at Rodgers. He spear- ed it, touched out Orr, who was rac- ing for second. and then leaped to the second bag before Ryan could get back, thus completing one of the rar Heston Reappears. Fellow named Heston won a fat man's race af a Detroit business men's picric a few weeks ago. After the corpulent dis guise of the victor, the natives dis- covered that he was the same Willie Heston who made Michigan footbal biatare 14 to 15 vears ago. and who plaint.\ (still is regarded as the greatest plung- \In all my work as umpire in the ing halfback of all time.

Some Brooklyn fans have come to the conclusion that Charlies Ebbets is doing some extensive | fowrflushing with reference to purchasing new tal- ent. Just about the time that the Hants had cinched the trade for \Slim\ Sai- lee, of the Cardinals, Charlie | made loud noises like a prospective purchas- er.

Although youth- ful in stature, he had the face of a man past middle age. The man was Tod Sloan. No one heeded him nor recognited in him the greatest jockey of them all whose name had been cotupled with a thousand stories of the turf and whose skill had won practically all the big Saratoga feature races in 1897, '88 and '99. Only one man recognised the hero of days gone by and remarked that \Sloan is aging a bit\ as he paksed on his way. Sloan has nothing left but mem- cries; his glory has pasted away As fhe stood unnoticed on the Saratoga lawn here he had, twenty years be- ed. Charlie rushed forth and _ said something about paying $20,000 for Herzog. As you will notice, Charlie has the abit of holding of his bide until it is ' ten.\ 20s fore. on so many wonderful triumphs, he must have unconsciously uttered | the words made famous by Rip Van Braves are keeping closé to the Dodg-] - r ers and win the pennant if Robinson's team 1 {| slips a little, The White Sox are still Following the injury to Tris Speak- er which will deprive the Cleveland club of his services for ten days at least, comes a report that the club may lose the services of Pitcher Guy Morton. The latter for two years has been regarded . as the best young pitcher in the American league, and this season started off in his usual stride. However, he sustained a se- vere strain to his side, and it is thought the injury will keep him out of the game for the remainder of the season. With the winning streak of the Cht cago White Sox Eddie Collins has re- covered his battling éye and is making a desperate effort to get into the .300 class of hitters, among whom he has always had a place since he became a regular in the American league. Ed- dig has been trailing along with a mark around .250 until about two weeksago, when he started to hit, and has since boosted his batting average up to .275. Eddie is there as a hitter, and there is little doubt now that he will finish in the select class. There appears to be only dne chance in the running, and should they win the American League flag it will be the first time since 1910 that a west-) gues had the opportunity to play in the world's series. + has not put a stop to the frenzied finance in bascball, judging by recent deals that have been put through. It is estimated thit the deal | between New York and Cincinnati - involved practically $75,000. . Besides sending Matty, Roush and McKechnie to the Reds for Herzog and Killifer, it is said the Giants also gave the Cincinnati club something like $10,000. Herzog got a new contract with the Giants calling for $10,000 a year for three seasons, and Matty signed a mew con- tract with Cincinnati at & salary re- ported to be $20,000 a year.
