A WIDE MARGIN First Triple Play Seen During The Season
(By "Bingle")
Baseball fans were rewarded with the first showing of a triple play this season, besides a shut- out in an overwhelming score of 23 to 0 when the Union Brewery humbled the Hongkong Baseballers yesterday. The smart exhibition of triple work was handed the South China aggregga- tion by the Rambling Recs, who wore certainly playing heads up ball. And how!
On Saturday, the Chinese Base- ballers handed the Hongkong Dase- ballers a 19 to 2 triming before a handful of fans at Caroline Hill-it wasn't a drawing card, to say the least, when Chung Hwa poled nine aafeties off two Molthenmen, Smith and Lawrence, helped by three costly miscues.
For two frumes, the Hongkongites were like A houso aftre. Chung Itwn scored two tallies, one in each of the first two stanzas and the Club- men came back in the second to knot the score, aided by "Pinky" Higgins mighty triple to left field which chased in Lawrence and Clogue. Big Iligging was the hero for the van- quished that day, playing a great game behind the plate, knocking in that triple and double in two times up.
Thereafter, the Hongkongites re- mained scoreless. Chung Hwa came back with
another marker in the third when Bill Smith was sent to the showers after walking two in a row, being replaced by Larry Lawrence, the Lone Star Ranger. The score was then 3 to 2 in favour of the Chinese.
DEVASTATING RALLY
.
In the next inning, the fourth, Chung Hwn had the game on ice when they tallied six times on three doubles, two bingles and a bob- ble. Babe Chinn, first up, grounded to Lawrence for an easy put-out. Wilbur Wu fanned. Two away, Wally Ching singled, and Choy re- selved a life when Doc Molthen was handcuffed on his Arile Latham. And then the devastating rally got under Den Crary doubled, chasing In way
