A few days ago, a National league player, not generally credited with -be- ing a great hitter, performed a batting feat, which for him was as great as Cobb’s hitting in consecutive games. The player was Hei Reds, who batted safel tive games before being stopped in the last game of a doubleheader against Boston.

There are some who would rank Weaver, Gardner, Baker and Zimmer- man out ahead of him, but if they are the margin is slight. This year Groh has been batting right around .300. He was the first National league player to make 100 hits and his base stealing average does not rank much behind that of the best pilferers in the league.
