which Harry Hooper drove into his

the greatest in the game. The title
is now absolete II is now the great.
est ou,tleld Of all time. And the
figures prove it.
All three played the series
through. Hooper batted $50. Lewis
slugged .444, end Speaker trailed
along. With .2ei for q combined bat
ting average OF 1868 In money ball.
or the u runs Boston scored in
the FIVE games, 10 OF them crossed

runs, this trio itself scored seven Of
them.
OF Boston's ~ hits. the outfeld
made 20-and among them were no
scratches.
But for what 4 generally taken as
a "bloomer" ruling by the official
scoring board late In yesterdays
game. this ocIheld would have field
"a perfectly. The 'bloomer" was
the decision which gave Hooper an
error. after il had first been credited
20 Gardner. Larry himself probably
will admit that Il was his mistake.
Certainly no outfetd in basebaifs
history ever played such a game I'M

in which one member Of this record

meant cutting or alien runs.

with the exception OF Saturdays,
which little George Foster won sim
