HITS COME IN BUNCHES IN BIG LEAGUE GAMES BY JOHN B. FOSTER. 921, always will be known as the month in base ball when rogidious stunts were performed by The biggest pow-wow was five home runs, eleven three-baggers Nor was it much s there were five home runs, seven n both of those days the outfielders a total of 65 after they lost their double-header. Of these, therefore, they must win 49 and lose only 16, if they are to finish the season with 100 victories. That would compel them to play at the rate of .754 for the remainder of the year and as good as the team'is, it doesn’t seem to be that good. Outside of wkat Boston can do for itself, the best hope of the team is that both Pittsburgh and New York will come back to it. The Pirates seem more likely to drop back than New York, for the reason that they have been coming back. However, the Giants have not progressed with tre- mendous_strides and play spasmod- ically.

The state was expected today to make an effort to refute the testi- mony of White Sox players that all the “Sox, including the defendants, practiced for two hours in the Cin- cinnati park the morning of the first game, when Burns testified he met some of the defendants at a room in the Sinton Hotel. The state also was expected to try to show that the conference could have been held prior to the practice at the park. The state's rebuttal tes- timony was expected to take up most of today. Felach's Father Dies. “Happy™" Felsch, former White Sox center fielder and one of the defend- ants, was not present when the case was resumed. He was called to Mil- waukee by the death ‘of his father, Judge Friend excusing him from the courtroom. Alfred Austrian, attorney for the Chicago Americans, was the first wit- ness summoned in rebuttal. Joe Ged- eon, former St. Louis player, it was announced, would be the second if he irrived in time to testify, and a news- paper reporter, to whom Felsch is al- leged to have “confessed,” will be the third and probably last witness for the state. Declare Players at Park. Eddie Collins, Ray Schalk, Dick Kerr, Roy Wilkinson and Manager William { Gleason of the White Sox testified last | night at a session of court that the seven former players were at Redland Field, practicing from 10 to 12 a.m., the day before the first game. Burns had testified that it was on this day and at these hours that he completed the al- leged deal with the defendants whereby they were to throw games in order de- sired for $100.000, receiving $20,000 after each game thrown. “Did you see some of the defendants together in a_room the evening of the second game?" Schalk was asked by George Gorman of the prosecution. “I did, but can't remember what room.” was the reply. Burns had tes- tified’as to another meeting that night. All of the players were asked if they |had an opinion as to whether the de- fendants played to the best of their {abilitv. but the state’s objections to lanswers were sustained. Dick Kerr was indignant over being icalled here from Washington for two | minutes of testlmony, “And I rode 900 miles on the hottest jday of the vear to say that,” he mut- tered, as he walked past the defendants { without looking at them.
