Billy Purtell
(CHA) is the batter with a ?-? count. He hits a line drive right to the 1B, Hack
Simmons (OUT 1)
Since both
runners were off on the pitch, it was easy work for the 1B to hike back to first
and touch first bag before the runner from first, Willis Cole, could get
back (OUT 2)
1B throws over to the SS (Donie Bush) who steps on the bag at
second to nail the runner caught off that sack, Patsy Dougherty, before he could
reclaim the
base (OUT 3)

Frank Chance
(CHN) is the batter with a 0-0 count who gave the sign he intended hitting the
first pitch, which he sent whistling high over second base. The SS
(Arnold Hauser) jumped
sideways into the air and made a one-handed catch (OUT 1)
SS came down
on the bag, automatically doubling up the runner caught off second, Jimmy
Sheckard (OUT 2)
SS, could have
made an unassisted TP because the runner from first, Solly Hofman, was within
reach, but the SS played it safe and tossed to the 1B (Ed
Konetchy) who retired Hofman (OUT 3)

on second base, doubling up the runner caught off second, Al Bridwell (OUT 2)
The runner
from third, Red Murray, was half way home and the 2B started to complete the
play, but Murray raced back toward third and the 2B was compelled to

(OUT 3)
