FIRST TRIPLE PLAY.
Altrock, pitcher clown, police-
man, cobbler, and at last the
hero of a triple play, first of
1821; Washington was playing
against the Phillies, Wrightstone
and Miller were on first and
second bases, Jack Miller of
New Jersey and elsewhere lined
the ball to Altrock. Nick, play-
ing first, grabbed it with one
hand, touched first and threw
to second for the third out. All
that the Phillies could say was
that when Altrock began to
make triple plays there was
hope for “Cap” Anson to return.
