Hooper and doubles by Lewis and Wag-

Wood Gets Breaks.
The breaks Of the game were never
better illustrated than in this contest.
Joe Wood was making his first start of
the season for Boston. The game was
played May II, but it was the first time
Carrtgan had called upon his veteran
star. Wood had been suffering from a
lame arm, and Carrisan wisely left it
up to Joe to decide when he was ready.
the day was warm, and in practice
Wood had showed lot of stuff. He
decided it was his day to give the sal
ary wing a workout. While Wood
didn't nave his old-time speed, he was
much faster than the average and had

In the seventh a wonderful throw by

looked bright for Cleveland, but a dou-

culiar style of delivery Mays kept the
Indians puzzled during the rest of the
game. Morton's work was one of the
greatest pitching efforts / have ever
seen, and it all went for naught.
Lop-Sided Shut Out.
The most lop-sided shut-out of the
season was staged ON the second day
OF the race at st. Louis. Chicago was
in batting mood, and slugged its way
to a 16-to-o victory over the Browns

most considerate in regard to shutting
out the opposition. only handing out
six blanks during the season. The rec

this connection:

Although there are at hand no official
records of long flights in either game
measured to the ultimate inch and es-
tablished as the last word in the case,
there are one or two things to go on.
Wagner startled the populace on two
occasions by driving base ball over
the left-deld fence in Pittsburgh. This
fence is 400 feet from the home plate
and each drive landed at least forty
feet beyond the fence--making a total
carry of about 440 feet. Rather re-
