SEVEN HITS. IN SINGLE GAME

Wilbur Robinson Performed That Feat While Playing With Baltimore Twenty-Four Years Ago. How many baseball fans ever witnessed a player making seven hits in a game? Not many, for there have been very few instances that a player ever accomplished the feat. The only man who ever performed that unusual stunt in the National league was Wilbur Robinsoh, then with Baltimore and

now manager of the Brooklyn leaders in the National leagae race. It was In 1892 when seven straight hits in a game against St. Louis. In this contest the Baltimore team scored 25 runs on 25 hits, against four runs made by St. Louis. One of Robinson’s hits was a double, but he was not much faster than he is now, for all he could do was to score a single run during the game.
