Well, let's not so quickly dismiss this as an error on the part of the Zappalas.

According to the book Addie Joss on Baseball: Collected Newspaper Columns and World Series Reports, p305 footnote

4."On August 4, 1911, Lee Tannehill of the Chisox would become the only shortstop to execute two unassisted triple plays in a game. He's featured at third base, in Addie's following story (and Bill Bradley, in the present article, is flip-flopped between third base and short).

I will keep digging after dinner.
