WAGNER WILL PASS
 POP ANsoN'S BATTING RECORD
Has Made 5000 Hits and Needs Only IA More to Establish New Record.

The base hit which fandom has been so interested in for some weeks past has arrived at last and Honus Wag
 ner now enjoys the distinction of hay ing 5000 hits marked opposite his name. All that remains now for the mighty Teuton is to keep on batting em out as he has been for several years. In two weeks Wagner will pass the record of 3,013 hits estab- lished by Pop Anson and then Pop will pass into second place after head ing the procession for many years. Baseball records are by no means complete as regards the hitting extremely doubtful that any other player ever got more safe hits than did Pop Anson during his p years in merriam double whistled on its way Wagner became the second "3, GOO hitter in baseball history. Before the present season is passed a third mem Der will be added to this most select society of baseball, and then the char ter will be closed for six or seven years, at least Napoleon Lajoie. who started his major league career one year before Wagner joined tse Louis vile club back in 1897, is the player who will follow Wagner into the 5000 club, providing he is not put out of the game by injury Lajoie is now To- cated between his 2,930th and 2,94oth hit, and, on past performances, he should reachc the round number dur ing the month of August.
