TENS of twenty-five loop tho loop
smashes. while tho Manhattan repre-
sentatives punched out nineteen round
trip clouts.N The homers made by the
the tide OF battle. while the four
baggers poled by the Giants had sell
dom much effect on the results of con-
tests. generally being made after the
verdict had been decided one way or
he other.
