MANY GOOD BATTERS PUT TO THE

That being hit on the head with a
pitched ball puts good batters to he

Mcmillan isn't the first batsman to
be hit by a pitched ball and as such

batsmen out OF some who were among
the best in their leagues, it viii mean
quite a lot TO the Hustlers If Mcmillan

Retains Hurt Three Years.
Several years ago James hurry, OF
the Buffalo club. was hit in the head
by a pitched ball by Edward Lafitte,
then with the Jersey City club. At
the close OF that season Murray went
to the major league. He hit in streaks
there and was not near as good as
when he was in the Eastern league.
This year, again with Buffalo, he has
been hitting as well as he ever did
Nevertheless, there are critics who say
Murray hasn't been the same player
since he was hit on the head three
years ago
Take Tom Jones, the Brewers first
bsseman- Tom has never been the
same since he was slammed on the
head with a pitched ball last year. and
it is a cinch Frank Chance, the Cubs
great first baseman, has not been the
same since he was hit two years ago.
Artie Hoffman is another player who
has not been the same batter since
being hit on the head. and that is one
reason why the PittsburS club has
raised a howl about his condition
