WHEAT HAS RANGE OF FENCE

Brooklyn Outfielder Slugging Ball Hard and Most of His Hits Go to Right Field. Zach Wheat has got the range of the right field fence at Ebbets field, so opposing pitchers better beware! When Zachariah is clouting the old apple at top form he generally sinks most of the long ones out to starboard. Early

in the season Wheat was walloping most of his drives to left, and hitting “kerplunk” into the fielder’s hands. Slbwly but surely he has been swinging his batteries more to starboard, and now he is training them on the right field wall in old-time form.
