eight-seamed ball, and also, get .it
away' much more quickly In passing
and punting. Players can locate the
seams readily with their , fingers,. ; .

record In ' double plays has been
turned In by. "Chick" Ellsworth and
Freddie Muller, the keystone com

Just how much of one It Is.
The Seattle team a short time
ago had made 149 double-killings,
with Ellsworth, shortstop, and Mul
ler, second base, doing most of tl.
work. -
Williams said he was, sure this
was a ne weoast record, but he had
no way-, of proving It. ..League rec
ords ' were : destroyed In - the San
Francisco fire many years ago and
