Show Morgan's Record Better Than Tristam Speaker's Cbarley Morgan, a catcher on the Macon team In the South Atlantic league, put himself In a class with the best of them last season when he smashed the record for consecutive hitting which Tris Speaker hung up in 1920. Speaker's record was eleven straight and Morgan . turned in an even dozen in a row. The Macon backstop started his run In a game on May 31, when he hit safely in his last - two trips to the plate. In his next game he got four hits out of four at-bats, duplicated the stunt in his next game, made a hit in his one time up in a fourth contest, and then poled one on his first time up In the fifth game. |
