Then follows Lee Magee. who today
poled three safe blows. Then there is
Frank Gilhooley. Working forty games
with the Yanks, he batted $40. Fritz
Maisel. who was batting over 800 until
the last three weeks of the 1915 cam
paign, when sickness removed his pep.

that he would arrive tonight As Benz

San Jose, and there are no through
trains from that burg to this But he
announced that he was ready to catch
anything Benz and Scott had in stock
because he had been working out of

Lynn is the backstop who was obtained

amateur golfer. won the open cham
pionship at Hoylake in 1897. and six
teen years later he won the amateur

from the fact that between the two or

J. II. Taylor won his first open cham

fifth in 1913 at Hoylake. nineteen years
