also the feat OF Hobart Whitman
of the Winston-Salem, Piedmont

cracked out three homes runs. a
double and a single in Eve times
at bat.
Don't Equal Worlds Record.
Though these are remarkable per
formances they do not approach the

youngsters tied for the medal round
on Monday at 154, and Wright added
new laurels to his record today by
