SCHUPP’S AMAZING BOX WORK

Great Winning Streak of New York Giants Brought to Light Pitcher Hitherto Unnoticed. The great winning streak of the Giants last season, -in which they'broke all major league*records for successive victories, capturing 26 games, brought one of the little known of the Giant pitchers to the front in the person of

Ferdy Schupp. Schupp won six of the games in the winning streak of the team and they were; among the most remarkable gamse ever pitched by a box artist, 'ln th games Schupp allowed only 20 nits, or an average of but little over three to a game.' He allowed Brooklyn two hits September 7; Cincinnati, three a week later; the Pirates three September 18; the Cubs, six September 20; St. Louis, two, September 26, and Boston one, September 28. In only two of the six games was he scored on and the total gs runs chalked'up-against him was but three.
