What has become OF the home run
hitter
Major Ieacre records for 1917 show
that but two Datters were able to col
lect more than 10 Circuit c!outs during
the year. These records also show
that the Amer can League did not
break into this column the leading
home run drivers being Cactus era
vath and Dave Robertson, each o!
whom garnercd -. Walir Pipp. this

The question of why it is easier 10
get home runs in the National than
il the American League is one which
has caused lot of discussion and ore
which probably ne"er will be settled.
The short .ght Tieid fence at Phil

often advanced. but that alone Ger
