But an eXamina- ton of these records in the dull winter months revealed the inside dope on rather more than 500 tallies. A few rsSed games at the tail end of the year were Topped off to make the count an even 300.
 These 500 taliies were scored in 1S differ ent ways. Of these 13 the single was much the most important and the ball.
 much the least. In fact, in the games which furnished the 300 runs only single counter was driven in by a lnlk But between these two extremes of the single and the balk the remaining Il methods or scoring traied in varied and dtsconcerI-

The one base hit was far and away the most com mon accomplice, accessory after the fac', or whatever you choose to call it. ot the run. And second in importance was the trusty two-bagger with G6 runs out of possible 500 to it's credit Third on the list was our old friend, the booted, put ter fingered, fumbled ball technicaii known as an error.
