Delehanty's Record of
Four Homers In One
Contest Still Stands

One OF the greatest batsmen that
ever lived was Ed Dela;hanfy who
played with the Philadelphia Nation
ais and succeeded Willie Keeler as
leading Eafsrnan in 1899. He was of
powerful build and a tremendous hit
ter. DelahaIty is credited with the
greatest batting feat on record, that
o., making four home runs in one
game. 1t happened in 1895 during
one Of the games with Chicago.
The, first time up Ed cracked the
BAN over the right field fence for a
home run The second time he drove
a liner over short to Dahlen. The ball
was so fast that it tore through Dah-
lens grip and went into left field,
while Delahanty went all the way to
third base. The next time up he
Knocked the ball over the right field
fence again and made the complete
circuit. The fourth time UP Ed wal
Hoped the ball to the club house back
of center field, making a. third home
rum
When he came to bat again in the
ninth inning the fielders got back as
far as they could They were all hug
ging the fences. But this time Ed
cracked the ball over center field,
over the fence, on to the club house.
Ed scored his fourth home run. Final
summing up: Five times at bat; four
home runs and one ree-bagger. His
entire team got only three other hits
besides his own.

Jiggs Donahue Ranked
AS Best First Baseman
Of All Time BY Critics

This day is the anniversary of the
birth of "Jiggs'' Dono11ue probably
the greatest first baseman that ever
lived. He was born in 1879 He
reached the highest point in his ca
reer playing with the Chicago Ameri-
can league team in the worlds series
games of 1906 against the Chicago Ma
tionaas. ComisSey is the man who
considered Donohie the worlds great
est first baseman. His chief claim to
distinction was his remarkable field
ing ability.
His first league engagement was
under Connie Mack in Milwaukee,
during the infancy OF the American
league In 1906 he accepted 1908
chances at first base, a record which
has never been equalled. "Jfggs" also
held the record for the fewest number
of chances In a game, having only
one. It was during a game at New
York that he made one assist 1t had
never been known in baseball before
where a first baseman was not given
a chance to make at least one put
out. "Jiggs' died several years ago
in an insane asylum near Columbus,
Ohio.

RUDE Marquard Loses
Hard Luck Game to
Jim Vaughn Of Cubs

New York, July 1.-THE Dodgers

at Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon.
Hippo" Jim Vaughen conquered
Rube MarquarG in a, pitchers battle
in the opening struggle by i to o.
while the National League champions
came back in the afterpiece and
trounced the Chicago team by to l.
Marquard pitched well against
Vaughn and deserved a better fate
The Rube allowed only three hits in
the eight innings that he faced the
Western invader, and a, wild throw to
the plate by 'sHi' Myers, the convert
ed first baseman, allowed Laughing
Larry Doyle to cross the plate IN the
seventh inning with the only run of
the paStime.
Vaughn pitched even a better game
than his rival. Brooklyn congested
the bases in the fourth dining with
only one out, but so effective was
9Hippo's" hurting that the Flatbush
Clan even failed to score.

BATTLING KUNZ TO
BOX K. O. PALlTZ
IN .MERIDEN SHOW


New Haven. July 11--Battling Kunz
of South Norwalk, recognized as the
lightweight champion of Connecticut,
and K. %. Palitz Of Hartford, have
signed articles and posted forfeits to
meet in a 12-round decision bout fe-
fore the Lenox A. C. at Hanover park,
Meriden. on the evening of Thursday,
July 10. for the welterweight cham
pionship of the state. The manager
Of each boxer has posted 500 for
weight LAP pounds ringside, and $50
for appearance with the matchmaker
Of the Lenox club.
Kunz won the lightweight. title
from Chic Brown at New Haven some
time ago, and since then ably defend
ed it in a gruelling; mill with the
Elm City idol. But Kunz is about
through as a lightweight, having had
trouble in making 138rpounds rtngHde
at his latest fight with Brown in New
Haven. Hence this go will be at l42
pounds ringside, and the winner will
own the state welterweight title.
This same pair met some time ago
and in the opinion of the fans Palitz
defeated the husky battler from South
Norwalk. but of course this bout was
forgotten when Kunz became a cham
pion.

The midnight ride Of Paul Revere

took from second to the plate yester-
day at Newf1eld park The local
manager was carrying the run that
would tie the score and he knew
Outfielder Daley's throw was likely
to head him off. So he slid along on
his ear and Catcher Murphy failed to
touch him. Krichell hadn't touch
ed the plate, either and Umpire r.
win waited to see what would hap
pen. Krichell went back and tap
ped the pan so the umpire CALLED
him safe. Then the Lawrence play
ers surrounded the umpire. Outfelder
Burke spoke out of his turn and was
banished.
With the score to 4, two out and
two on bases, Pitcher Williams decid-
ed to pass Hank Bracket in order to
about Priests fondness for being a
hero. Johnny cracked one through
the infield and Jack Egan scored
the run that gave Bridgeport a wcz

game which kept the fans on. edge

til the. seventh when successive sin
giles by Priest, linn and Lear drove
him to cover. Then Williams was
called in. He famed Grimes but
Martins timely triple brought in two
more runs and sent Bridgeport
ahead by 8 to 2.
Gingras, who had twirled fine ball
for the locals for seven innings,
weakened in the eighth and allowed
Lawrence to tie the, score on three
hits. With a man on third and two
out, Manager Krichell sent in Sher-
man, the hurler secured from Balti-
more. He made Simmons pop to
linn for the third out. Sherman
was not thoroughly warmedSup and
in the tenth Lawrence got a run.
1t looked pretty black for Bridge
port in the tenth when the first two
men went out but Krichell batted for

by an inshoot Then Jack Egan

It was UP to Pitcher Sherman, who
promptly smashed one to right on

plate as told above.
Sherman is still weak from a re-
cent illness. He has good deliv-

knows how to pitch. Owing to the
fact that Corcoran had a. lame arm

Dug Smith or Banks will probably get

The latest report on Joe Briggs is
that he changed his mind about join

gossip heard at Newfie1d park yester-
day, the outfielder recently released by
Bridgeport, has gone to work in the
Remington Arms plant. Jake War

Johnny Priest had a bad time in
the first INNING of yesterdays game.
He booted two grounders and later in
the game slipped while fielding an
other. He atoned for these errors by
his timely hitting, though.
Zeke Lehman, with Lowell in the
Eastern league last year, twirled an
other good game for Rochester yester-
day, beating Montreal 2 to 1 in IL

good record that if the Giants don't

The Brooklyn manager thinks some
of the veterans are taking things too

last spring when he tried to hold up
Owner Ebbets for more salary. Most
of the old, timers are sore at Ebbets
and would welcome chance to leave
