-The feat of. first baseman, home runs in a singe game at Chicago, docs not establish a new record in baseball for personal punch. Triple circuits are fairly common in hc major leagues, and thrre are two instances on record of four fou i'-baggers in a game. the. distinguished clout stars teing Lowe anl Deiehanty.

Kelly himself, when 4 playing with Rochester some years back, once piled up five homers in a game, but the field on which they were made was a bantam affair. Jfboot the only record Kelly can claim for his Chicago exhibition of baf- ting prowess is that he has raised the number of Giants I19 have hit three) homers in a game to two. The first Giant to achieve the distinction was Roger Conner, who eeconwdihed it baok In For six years after that no one got three. In r. game.

Then, in 1894. two players CAJue across with a like record. Two more came Through in 197. Then came back a break until last season, when Henline, the Philadelphia catcher, joined the three -in -one class. And now Kelly.

The remodelibg of the Chicago stands probably had a lot to do with Kelly's accomplishment. He might not have made the circuit on all three of his smashes had he been batting on the old field in the Windy City. However, I it was Kellis reputation in the West as a slugger that brought him East, end he is entitled .0 a lot of credit for! the three k-ng wallops. It looks now as Scott would try to breeze through the season of 1923 without missing a game at shortstop for the New York Yankees. Hs already has passed the 1.000 straight games mark and has a chance to push the figure to 1,140 if Manager Muggins lets him ride.

Of course the talk of benching him Was not started because he is not playing ball, but with the idea of giving him a rest for the world series. But Huggins had better not let Scott or any other player get off edge while they are playing out the finish and waiting arae when the Tigers apparently 0 had it won.
