FIRST TRIPLE PLAY The American league has th honor of making the first tripl play registered in the two majo: lengues this season, and it fell to the Chicago White Sox to turn the trick. Oscar Felch to Charles Risberg was the play and it cut off a rally by Wa: ington in the eighth inning after the Senators had scored three runs, AINSMITH MAKES HIT ‘WITH TIGER OUTFIT Former Washington Catcher Is Popular in Detroit. Snappy Action, Constant Chatter and Shrill-Like Whistle Have Made Him a Pronounced Favorite. Copie¢ Cabb's Style. Eddie Ainsmith, former Wash'ngton catcher, has jumped into popular fa- vor with the Detroit fasts. While the Tigers have always boasted of cap- able backstops, they have not been the “peppery” kind. <Ainsmith,. with his snappy action, constant chatter and shrill-like whistle, have made him &@ pronounced favorite in Tigerland. Ainsmith is catching better than ever and hitting in fine style. He has changed his em at the plate. Fig- uring Ty Cobb a pretty fair hitter, he copied the Georgian’s style, and seems to be getting away with it. Let Eddie tell the story himself, “I've got the wrong style, fellows,” Ainsmith announced to several of the “Tigers one afternoon on the spring training trip. “Like Ty’s short, snappy swing, and am going to bat that way. No more .200 average for me; I’m out to graduate into the .250 class this summer. So day after day during the exhi bition games the catcher seldom took} his eyes off Cobb when the outfielder was up, practicing an abbreviate¢ swift swing from the shoulder himseli instead of a long sweep from far be hind. He began’ getting results im- mediately. All of his hits have beer sharp drives of the Cobb brand, too Cobb does swing differently thar Most hard hitters. No one follows Eddie Ainemith. through any farther than he does, but he keeps: his bat almost in front o! him when the pitcher is winding uy and then brings it back to his shoul der when about to hit. ; By starting his bat from this post tion hé undoubtedly gets more ac curacy, and it also probably helps hin to chop balls through the infield or in to: vacant sectors of the. outfield. I may keep him from pulling :as’many long drives into. right as some: left handed batters do, but he gets mor hits than the others, Anyhow, Ty is probably satisfied an¢ Ainsmith will not go'back to his ol¢ style, at least not for the present. Oh, yes! Eddie also walks to the Plate with three bats, pumping: them over his right and then the lef shoulder. Of course, that part may be due to superstition, so prevalén: among ball players, SMITHS, MILLERS, JONESES Names Are Quite Prominent on Ros ters of Various Major League Clubs This Season.

WORLD SERIES HERO _ BACK WITH PIRATES Babe ‘Adams, Veteran Pitcher, Will Try to Come Back, After Being Dropped by Pittsburgh in 1917, He Drifted Into Western League and Then to Kansas City—Madg Good. Charles B. (“Babe”) Adams, hero of the 1909 world series, will try to come back with the Pittsburgh Pirates this year. Adams is thirty-five years old and a real veteran as pitchers go. in 1916 that Adams took the toboggan with the Pirates and was labeled as through by the scribes. His pitching for that year was more or less | of a joke, for he won but two games and stgceeded in losing nine more he- fore Barney. Dreyfus made up his mind to let his veteran star go. In 1917 Adams drifted into the West- ern league, signed up -with Jack Hol- land at Hutchinson and staged a come- back that surprised everybody. He, wen 20 games of ball for the Hutchin-} son team and lost 13, and he was rated as one of the hardest working| pitchers in the league, which has al- ways been noted as a league that har- bors many a hard-hitting youngster, and many a crafty old-timer who is on his way back. Adams’ record with the Hutchinson} club won him a trial with John. Ganzel at Kansas City last season and during} the abbreviated pennant race in which| the Blues won the pennant Adams captured 14 games of ball and lost but three for the Kansas City club. This feat won him his chance to try areal comeback with the Pirates this year and his boosters are predicting that he will make good. Adams emblazoned his name in base- ball’s hall of fame back in 1809 when zip- Ww AMUSEMENT PARK ( A RINGER! r BASEBALL | }American League— PLAY TOLD BY CHARLIE WHITE.
