BURNS AND LE WIS SET PACE IN MAJORS FOR
 CLEANUP WALLOPS
By ERNEST J. LANIGAN

By tSHN EST
 Two Georges-George Burns of the Giants and George Edward Lewis of the Red Sox-are setting the pace in the ma flor leagues this season in producing clean up wallops. the New Yorker having made late start in annoying the artillerists Each suburbanite has thrice come through during 1914 with three solid blows that have emptied the bases of their three runners. Lewis got the first of his reso- nant raps on April 24 in the game with Washington, Ayers pitching; his second on June in the game with Cleveland, Bowman pitching, and his third on July 25 in the game with Cleveland, Gregg pitching. Lewis first and second clean up blows were doubtless: his third triple
 Burns has specialized in three-baggers when the occasion arrived to empty the basis, he having made three hits of this kind in space of IS days. The Giants first cleanup triple was made off Sallee of St. Louis on August 12 and gave New York victory by a score of to ?, the Cards being in front to 0 before the hit was manufactured. Five days later with the Pirate having three-run lead, Burns went to bat in the eighth whent Grant. Bescher and Doyle were on the hassocks and they all three came off as result of the St. Johnsville boy S clout off Bob Harmon. New York won this game, to 3. Burns third triple when there were three on cropped up in the third frame of the Cub-Giant contro- versy on August 27, Chicago, with Charley Smith in the box, then leading by a rum When the inning was over the score was 4 to in New York's favor and when the game was finished the Giants were ahead 9 to ?.
 Previous to the time he made his need ed three-bagger off Sallee, Burns never had been able to insert a cleanup smash into National League contest.
 Players who have twice sent three men scurrying plateward by making singles, doubles, triples or homers, are Iris Speaker of the Red Sox, Heinie Zimmer- man of the Cubs, Roger Peckinpaugh of the Yankees and Buck Wheat of the Superbas The Chalmers car winner of 1912 got a double off Plank of Philadel- phia that enabled the Speed Boys to tie the Mackmen and escape defeat and d triple off Oldham of Detroit that meant a win. One of Zimmerman's timely drives was a four-bagger off Ragan of Brooklyn that gave the Cubs a win. Ragan is the only major league hurler who has been located twice for four-furlong smashes when all the hassocks had occupants. He also has permitted triple under such circumstances.
