back (OUT 2)

Jack Lapp (PHA) is the batter with a ?-? count. He hit a bunt grounder in front of the plate. Like a tiger after its prey, the C (John Henry) pounced upon the ball

and touched the plate, forcing the runner from third, Stuffy McInnis (OUT 1)

The C then, quick as a flash, shot the sphere to the 1B (Chick Gandil) getting the batter, Jack Lapp (OUT 2)

The runner from second, Tom Daley, headed for the plate on the play. 1B fired the ball to the C who blocked the charging runner Daley and tagged him out

(OUT 3)
