WAeNER's BATTING PEAT.

Making Five Hits In Recent Game
Shows His Great Hitting Ability.
It is something outaaof the ordinary
for ball player to make five hits dur
ing any game and especially in that
many times at bat. Many have played
all their lives and have not secured
Ave hits In a game. Others are salts
fed to say. swell, made five hits of
So-and-so at one time and then re-
tired" But to make five hits in one
game seems to be an annual affair
with the mighty Hans Wagner of the
Pittsburg Nationals. In recent game
against Chicago Hans made five hits
and stole three bases. It was the
third time in three seasons that Wag-
ner had accomplished this feat.
On May 13, 1907, while Pittsburg
was playing at Boston. with Young

Dorner and Boultes pitching, the big
fellow made five hits. Wagner crack
ed out trio of singles, double and a
home run, a total Of nine bases. And
later in the season in a game against
Brooklyn he hammered out three sin
giles, a double and q triple, total Of
eight bases.
One Of the other two players In the
National who has accomplished this
feat Is Seymour, in game against
Boston in 1907, with Young, Pfefer
and Boultes pitching. The middle
fielder Of the New York Nationals
cnacked out two triples, a home run
and two singles, making the seasons
record for twelve bases.
Phil Lewis, who formerly covered
short for Brooklyn, is the other player
who has made five hits in a game.
This he accomplished against McGtn-
nifty and Wiltse in New York on June
8, the same year. Phil made pair
Of singles, the same number OF dou-
bles and one triple. total Of nine
bases.
The only other player in the major
leagues to accomplish this perform
ance Is Stovall of Cleveland, the Maps
first sacker, who on the second day OF
the 1907 season, when Cleveland and
Detroit met, cracked out five singles
against Willetts and Jones.
In many games during the last three
seasons Wagner has made four hits
SO that he not only leads the country
ia Eve hits In a game, but he has the
distinction Of leading all players II
four hits as well.

TARDY RECOGNITION.

Much comment has been caused by
a Baltimore mans belated tribute to
the memory of Adam. He has erected
a $40 monument in remembrance of
our first father.
While this Baltimorean is honoring
Adams memory in enduring bronze,
Miss Austin is delivering addresses
charging him with having been ''the
first gossip in all creation, the first
adverse critic of woman's attire, and
the first man to shield himself behind
a woman's skirts
The Washington Herald comes to
the defence of Adam saying:
"It takes two to gossip, and if Adam
was a gossip, Eve, the only possible
party who could have been accessory
to the fault, was coincidentally guilty
and can in no sort of manner escape
equal responsibility. AS to his hav-
ing been the first adverse critic of
woinan's attire and the first man to
shield himself behind woman's 8
skirts, there are unquestionably eX
tenuating circumstances in Adams ia
vor, even if we admit the two-ply
charge to be true in all of its possible
meaning If he was the first to criti-
else a woman's attire-as a matter of
fact, we suspect it was her lack of
attire he really fused about-sure1y
that was very, very small thing in
deed; and the contention that he hid
behind Ewes skirts is most unhappy.
for the amply sufficient reason that
Ewes skirts during that part of
Adams life with which we are most
familiar were purely imaginary, and
one cannot hide very effectively be-
hind imaginary things. TO be sure,
we do not think it was very gallant
of Adam glibly to put the blame for
the srple-eating episode and it's con-
seuuent unpleasantness largely on
| Ewes shoulders; but be that as it
| may, and admitting for the sake of ar
gument that it was the truth, it was
| merely a confession and plea in avoid
| ance, and that is not the worst thing
in the world"
