McMahon's feat OF tanning eighteen
batsmen in seven innings in the game
yesterday between Adams Express and
Union station in the Terminal Railroad
Y. NJ. c. A. League will stand as a record
for strike-outs i'm an amateur game in
this city for long while. Mcmahon was
IN fine fettle, and only walked one man.
He struck out every man on the opposing
side once or more. and famed three of
them every time they faced him at the
plate and three Of them twice. He struck
out the side five times during the contest.
and but for the fact that the catcher
dropped the third strike ia two instances.
permitting the runner to pull up safe az
first the Station team would hardly have
scored tally. No matter how weak the
team a pitcher is facing, the feat accom-
plished by Mcmahon Saturday is a hard
and unusual one and against Union sta
ton is especially noteworthy.
