The mercury scared above 90 de-

and perspired in the breezeless sta
dunn. The athletes sweltered until
their baseball toys were drenched
with pcrspiration and Fred Clarke
was almost overcome by the heat.
The Pirate chieftain. in fact, was
forced to lie down when he arrived
at the grounds and Captain Wagner
conducted the hostilities through the

last year. In 1872 six homers were
registered at the big Cincinnati park.
7 wenty-f0ur have been made there
this season. 1t just happened that
this year batters happened to hit
more balls to unprotected parts Of
the Redland outfield.
It looks as though the record Of
&c triples set last season by Chief
Wilson. Pirate outfieider. will stand.
Sherwood Magee, of the Pills, has
made 90 triples this year. and leads
the league in that line Of work, but
he is not being used as regular. and
has little chance to reach the mark
set by Wilson.

The average las; season was one
homer in every four games. The
average this year is one homer In
very three games.
Several clubs have made more
homers already this season than they
made all last year. The Reds have
clouted 81 four-sackers. They mace
only last year. The Phillies made
AZ homers last year. They have
made j3 this season. and lead the
league in that department.
A big patr of the increase In the
number of homers this season Is due
t. the fact that Philip players have
been mauling the ball harder than
In former years. Red Doom has
placed bunch OF players on his club
who can hit long flies, and Ia the
bandbox park on which the Phils
play most of their games long flies
drop over the right-tield fence or
into the left field bleachers for four
Another reason for the increase Is
that more homers have been made
this season at Redland Field than
