YANKEES 100 HOMERS
SETS new LEAGUE MARX

The New York Yankees got their
Tooth home run of the current season
on September 4 when Babe Ruth
smote a pair of homers off Red Sox
hurting. This is a record for homers
by a club in one season.
A delve through basebalrs archives
from 1900 proves that the Phillies
who garnered T3 round trippers in the
season OF 1913 formerly held the rec
ord for the most homers in one year
the Phils also held the three highest
marks, getting 81 home runs In 1914

test at Union Park yesterday The
Shamrocks got out ahead in the early
stages OF the game, but could not
maintain the lead. 1t required hfteen
hits by the Silver Springers to land
the victory and the title.

better performance than that OF

player. yesterday.
Purdy connected with five hits in
five times up, one a double. he
figured in one double killing and
handled eight chances without an err

sensational. Smithson's smash over
Ludwigs head was grabbed behind

and Smithson was retired. Another
speedy throw Of Gilrs was nabbed
with one hand by Purdy who swung
away to get the runner coming 10

While Purdy had big day there
