HildeDrand is compared to Pop"
Yeager by the Quincy Journal The
record Of Yeager of getting hit with
the ball and covering the circuit is
well remembered and the Quincy
scribe is of the opinion that Hide is
following in his footsteps. That pa
per says: Hildebrald nearly lifted
the ball over right field fence in the
bags. The ball struck the fence just
little below the top. The Indian
right fielder was only at bat once,
getting hit three times and sacrificing
once. Hildy ought 70 make good
man to lead off, as he is as clever in
getting hit as old Pop Yeager used to
be, the only difference is that Pop
managed to get his in the back, while
Hide gets his elbow in the path Of
the ball, getting hit in the same spot
each time yesterday. He waits for an
outcurve and then deliberately dances
right into it.
