the commission estimates a total gain
in personal property valuations OF
thirty million dollars over the showing

Last year there was a falling off in
the personal property reports from over
the state. This shortage was due to
light crops. the heavy loss of live stock
in western counties and various local
troubles, which brought the showing

the previous year. Every indication
this year, the commission believes,
points to a gain that will more than off

Mike Donlin batted for .315 in five

Larry Doyle in fourteen games Of
the past two series batted .273, and
Arthur Devlin hit for $50 in five

the same average for five games
Merkle's mark for fourteen games is
.23l. Devore batted PA for thirteey
games, and Murrays mark for four
teen games is 1872, due to his big
slump In 1911, when he failed to get

some great stick work last year to
pull his average up to its present
mark. Snodgrass hit for .173 in his
fourteen games, and Fletcher batted

times and failed to get hit.

Back in 1905 Bill Dahlen, present
leader of the Superbas, was playing

Bill played in all the five games of
the series. and in fifteen times at bat
he failed to get a hit. So Murray can
take whatever satisfaction there may
be in knowing that someone has
poorer record than he and also that
he is not the only Giant who ever
went hitless through a full series.
