The three hits obtained by GanIey yes
terday will help him along considerably in
climbing up the batting percentage column,
and Bob has apparently struck his right
gait. While not being hard hitter, he can
always be depended upon to hit around 2SO
on the season, and that is going strong in
these times of ,heady and spit-ball twirlers
Since the team has returned home Ganley
has hit at $50 gait, and his percentage on
the season to date Is .272. A few more
games like that of yesterday and Bob will
be up among the aristocratic 800 batters.

from others which have preceded T.,
the grouping of state buildings has
been given a great deal of care the
majority of them occupy the water

for instance, is on Bennett circle, and
is within easy access Of he main ex-
