STUPID PLAY LOSES GAME Lury Doyle Catches Ball Thrown by Boston Outfielder Special to The Telegraph Boston, Mass., June 3. —Larry Doyle, captain of the New York Giants, pulled one of the greatest "bones" in baseball history yesterday afternoon in the fifth Inning of the Braves-Giants game. With one oujt and Burns on third, Doyle hit a long sacrifice fly to Moran. Burns scored. Doyle ran out the fly, and after turning first and seeing the ball coming toward him, he reached out, caught it and threw it to the Braves' second baseman. Burns had scored long before the throw from Moran reached Doyle's hands, but the Braves put in a kick against Doyle's action in catching the ball, and Umpire Quigley ruled in their favor, declaring Burns out for Doyle's interference, and the run did not count. The run would have put the Giants in the lead. Cumberland Valley Railroad TIME TABLE In Effect May 24, 1914. TRAINS leave Harrisburg— For Winchester and Martlnsburr at 5:03, *7:80 a. ra., *3.40 p. m.
