This Looks impossible,

Certain newspapers in several cities
are worrying baseball fans with the
question, "What is the maximum num-
ber Of hits team can make in nine
innings without scoring?" For fear
the problem, which approaches the
"Ann's age" puzzle, will cause too
much trouble, here it is:
1t is fifty-fOur, or six hits an inning.
How? Well, the first man up makes
a single and Is caught stealing. The
next batter also hits safely, and he,
too, falls a victim to the base purloin-
ing habit. The following three hitters
make infield swats, filling the bases.
Now comes the joker.
A batter cannot get credit for a hit
where base runner is caught, SO we
are compelled to have one of the base
runners hit with batted ball, the man
thus winged being declared out, while
the batter gets hit under the rules.
No runs can be scored. That makes
six hits per inning Six multiplied by
nine equals flfty-four. All right In
theory, but nix on the practice.

Madden Brings Out Youngsters.

When King James won the Annual
Champion stakes at the Gravesend
(New York; race track recently, John e.
Madden was warmly congratulated not
only on the success of the Plaudit colt,
bred by him, but also on the remarka-
BILE performances Of practically all Of
the racers that have borne his colors
on the metropolitan tracks this year.
Madden's success with his two-year-
olds has been little short Of phenome-
nal. In Sir Martin, by Ogden, he has
the champion two-year-old colt Of the
season. while Fayette, also by this
sire, is not far behind in point Of quail
ity. Sir Martin has won eight races,
finishing second in four others, his
conqueror In two Of the events being
Fayette, while Mr.. Keene's Maskette
beat him in the Futurity. Figuring up
Sir Martins winnings so far amount to
about $75,000. Madden does not intend
to start him again this season, but
viii send him to England, together
with Fayette and Lady Bedford.

The piffsrenes In tiittsrs.

There are good hitters and hard hit
ters In baseball. Sometimes the words
are synonymous; sometimes they are
not. The good hitter is not necessarily
a hard hltter-hard being used In the
sense Of driving the ball away from
the bat hard, hitting It with great
force. There are good hftters who do
not send the ball away hard, but who
are proficient with the club because
they are skillful and make many hits
because they make big averages.
