A few weeks ago when Ty Cobb
was trying to break his own record
OF hitting il safely in 40 consecutive
games, the eyes Of baseball were upon
him.
A few days ago, National league
player, not generally credited with be-
ing a great hitter, performed a batting
feat, which for him was as great as
Cobb's hitting in IS consecutive
games.
The player was Heine GrOh of the
Reds, who batted safely in % consecu-
tive games before being stopped in
the last game of a doubleheader
against Boston. The hitting was the
more remarkable as most of it was
accomplished during the Reds slump
which vOlplaned them from second in
to fourth place. l.
