Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 167, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 July 1911 — Pirates Make Record. [ARTICLE]

Pirates Make Record.

The box score of the Pittsburg-New York game the other day shows that the Pirates hung up a total of 28 assists for the day—one more than the total number of putouts. This is a world’s record for major league baseball. Twenty-seven assists were made a couple of weeks ago, but 28 were never made before. This record was made possible by the fact that Pitcher Hendrix kept the Giants from sending the ball out of the infield. Not a putout was registered by the Pittsburg outfieldars.
