The first timo he batted he singled and was caught try- ing to stretch tho hit into a double Then he doubled and died trying to stretch tho wsllop into n triple. Third of Benny's wallops was a triple and he perished in tho attempt to extend it into u home run.
 Citizens of Middleport say Kauff is a 400 hitter and Lawrence a .990 fielder, meaning by the last that he lets very few men circle his end.
