Here is what one of the st. Louis pa
pers has to say about Jesse Burkett
"Jess Burketts stick work has been the
marvellous feature of the Chicago series
| IN the three games he procured II base
hits. Jesse started out the week with
an average of 200 and has raised the fig
ures over thu $50 mark. If he keeps up
the gait, he will top of the league stick
ers when time comes for Uncle Nick
Youngs monthly average report. Jesse's
hunt in the ninth yesterday was as per-
fectly done as if he had placed the ball
with his hand.
"There are two kinds Of hitters in a
certain way. Those that bump against
the ball hard and are lucky in getting
10 first base and those that make the
averages and yet don't do a team a
whole lot Of good simply because their
hits don't come when they are needed.
l would rather have man with a poor
average who is always humping into the
ball hard and getting on first some way
or other. than the fancy player that sim
giles twice a game on the steady but
never in the right spot. or only once IN
ten years. maybe '-Chicago-Times Her
