It is true that Pipp did not make any fielding mistakes last year. He caught all the throws which were sent to him and ficlded the ground hits very well.

It was [ the Giant: the third defeat in four games for the feam which threatened ' supremacy for a large share of the season, and shoved the Cardinals back to fourth place, while Cincinnati, trouncing Philadelphia, 15 to 8, climbed to third position. Indication that Nehf has practical- 1y recovered from the effects of a foot. injury which checked his effective- the season was re- garded as an important factor in the Giants' world series chances. The southpaw held the heavy-hitting Car- dinals scoreless in all but two in- ningss and exhibited perfect control.

ECAUSE of the enormous increase in recent seasons of home-run hitting, begun by Babe Ruth and emulated by cvery player with a pair of clear eyes and strong shoulders, followers of the game ex- pect the coming world series to develop into a contest of long-distance batting, which a study of the statistics entirely refutes. Not that the 1922 struggle between Manhattan's town representatives inay not establish an imposing and new total of four-base swats, be- cause it may, but if many home runs are hit it will be a novelty. Neither participant is the leading club of its league in home-run hitting. The season of 1922 has been the broken his record of fifty-nine last most prolific of home runs of all time, | year.
