Sport Graphs .... Billy Huleti say; Triple Put-Out Very Rare Bird In Baseball Bush Not to take any credit from the Medford Craters and especially Lowell Brown, who started things, but that triple pjay oxecuiea against xresa Sunday left this i word mangier, L , r along with many W V "Pectators, rather I ST I cold. rT-t.'r I Mot that It : I wasn't a great r1 ' t li plRy' mlnd you' t, .TS-V w I J because It was. f,' VT I " Any triple klll- A' Ing. no matter kT zj 9 how produced. Is . ? .JTi really something. triole ntsv one WUy Rules of those maneu vers you might see several times In a lifetime, or again never.. In fact, there were several who have attended ball games for years, who admitted It was the first they ever witnessed. And. not one th.m ' n far as this writer could determine with the naked eye, was overly Impressed nor ready to ran apart from excitement. Of course. It was done so suddenly that many didn't realize what had happened until several seconds after i nil mr Yreka runners were on first and second, with none away. Brown, playing. .flrat case, snarea a liner without moving out of his tracks, took a few steps to first base, doubling the runner there, and then hMv rt Rhnrttnn Dick Lewis cov ering second before that baserunner could scurry back to safety. Ana there it was. H was extremely undramatlr, und thereby undoubtedly lies the main reason for Its failure to strlr up the old blood stream more. The situation had a lot to do with It nlso; the game was lacking In tenseness at that point anil there was no crisis, what soever. Brown should be commended for knowing exactly what to do with l the ball when he got It. something not every bush league player can be proud of but at that if ithe two Yreka bnserunners had been fully acquainted with the rule book, the play could never have been pulled. The batted ball Lowell caught was not really a line drive, it was sort of a half-liner, half pop fly. And, with first and second occupied or the bases loaded, and none or one out. the rule book clearly states the batter is automatically out on an infield tly. It's the old "infield fly" rule again, over which there has been more beefing and misunder standing than any other regulation in the book. In tlit case. It was a perfect, mt-and-rtrled Instance of the bat ter being automat Iralt.r out. wheth er Brown caught or dropped the hump-bark liner. Such being the case, Yreka haserunners were per forming In Might ly below grade whool calibre when they started galloping as the ball was hit -down the first base line. Because the onion was technically an In field fly and the hatter automati cally oat, anyway, those two base runners were not forced to run If the ball was dropped by Brown. They could have remained on their bags In perfect safety. But because the Callforntans apparently figured that If Brown dropped the ball they would be forced to tear for the next bags. Medford gets a nice triple play and many Qua H. Phana were treated to their first look at the rare de fensive maneuver. In aJl truthfull ness. however, we must admit that several of the mere double killing turned In by the Craters this season have produced more tingles in the spine of yours truly than that three- piy business. While speaking of rare tmsehalt oocnirance. there Is nothing In the sport that can rome close to equaling a pitcher's "perfect game one of which was tossed by l,efty Mike Roll of Crescent City against' Ashland, Hunday. Tonr trlpje play and even yonr unassisted triple play, the latter a onre-ln-a-llfe-time happening, are outright fre quencies compared to the no-hit, no-run. no-man-reach-flmt pitch ing performance. In fact, there Is nothing In the vast world of sports to equel It in scarcity, probably the nearest thing being a bowlers "300" game. But. where a miners lite expert Is forced to throw only 13 perfect balls, which produce 13 "strikes." a baseball hurl- er must make anywhere from 40 to 100 perfect pitches, all of which are potential base-hit heavei. The pitch er must not Issue a base on balls nor hit a batter, and his teammates must perform flawlessly, accepting every fielding chance without . an error. Every single batter Is every Inning must be retired in order three up and three down for nine innings. . To give you an Idea of the Infre quency of the "perfect game.'' there have been esactly four of them hurled In the two major leagues since 1000 four In 37 years. Figur ing 154 games per season for ench team In both leagues, the regulation number of encounters, that's 60fl games a season for each loop, or 12ia for both. Multiply 1213 by 37 years, and you get a total of 4.844 ball games played since 1900. It doesn't take a mathematician to determine, then, that the "perfect game" In the major leagues hBS occurred on an average of once In every 11.211 encounters. Or. one every 9H years. If there is anything rarer In the sports world, we have never heard tell of It. Mr. Roll of Crescent City de serves the biggest hand you can give lilm. and don't laugh off his performance by pointing1 out that he was hurling agnlnst a bush league club. He was hurling ngalnst a team supposedly In his same class, for he Is a bush league pitcher, rememhrr. Just like those four big league rhiirkera were throwing , nsolnst tenms In their own class! There Is no dif ference, comparlllvel.v. And for the benefit of Inquisitive fans, here are the major league pitchers with "perfect games" under their belts: Cy young in 1904: beat ing Philadelphia. 3 to 0: Adrilo Joss In 1008. pitching for Cleveland against Chicago White Sox. score. 1 to 0: E.
