JIM SHAW EQUALED RECORD

Slammed Homers Off Pitchers Seibold and Kinney of Athletics in Successive Innings. When Jim Shaw of Washington, on May 2, slammed homers off Seibold and Kinney of the Athletics, in successive innings, Jim equaled a major league record that has stood since June 30, 1912, for on this latter date, Ed Willett, the Tigers’ star hurler of long ago, while pitching for Detroit, slammed a single and a pair of round trips off Mogridge and Jordan, the White Sox hurlers. A delve through the National league for 15 years back failed to show a hurler that equaled this stunt.
