First Triple Play Seen During The Season

(By "Binglo")

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 Baseballors yesterday. The smart exhibition of triple work was handed the South China aggregga- tion by the Rambling Rocs, who wore certainly playing hoads up ball. And how!

For two frames, the Hongkongites were like house ultres. Chung Hwa 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' nighty triple to left field which chased in Lawrence and Clague. Big Higgins was the hero for the van quished that day, playing a great game behind the plate, knecking in that triple and double in two times up.
