in his long. hard drill to the peaks Of
two divisions.
If Johnny Smirks at these protests

recognition it deserves, he will be do

BILLY HOY MADE BIG RECORD
Famous Mute Ball Player Had Forty
Five Assists in OutfieId While
With Chicago Americans.

Billy Hoy, the famous mute ball
player from 1880 until 1902, seemingly
holds the record for the greatest num-
Der of assists from the Outfeld for
one season. In 1900. while with the
Chicago Americans, Hoy had As as
sists in 1877 games he played Mike
Mitchell, who was with the Cincinnati
Reds in 1907, and Harry Niles of the
st. Louis Browns of 1906, each had 80
assists and since those seasons have
been accepted as the best records In
this respect.
If the baseball guides are correct
for 1900. then Billy Hoy holds the rec
ord for assists from the outfield in the
major leagues. Hartman, playing
right field for the st. Joseph club of
the Western league in 1902, had 50
assists from his position in 139 games.
