This has been a tough season on the Ms in baseball. MecInnis is bat- ting under .194; Lee Magee is batting under .200; Maisel is out with a broken arm; Magee of the Brave suffered the same stroke of misfor- | tune; Mack is in last place; Mitchell | has been unable to win at all for Cleveland; McGraw can't win at home. There doesn’t, howsoever, seem to be any particular hoodoo hovering ebove one Guy Morton, judging from the number of wins he has already packed away under his elastic belt. We have seen thirteen reasons ad- vanced showing why the Giants can't win at home. But the main reason isn't very far from this—they don't make enough runs. Either that, or the other club al- ways makes too many. Which is ap- the same thing. Eddie Mulligan, of the Cubs, holds a werld's Tecord. He came to the Tolo Grounds with ten hits in twenty- eight games. Then he proceeded to make ten hits in four games. Eddie is the only athlete extant who ever made as many hits in one series as he had made all year. Very good, Mulligan. The Goat Getter.
