PAGE EIGHT
LAJOIE ENJOYS
UNIQUE RECORD
Larry szoie holds a unique batting
record. something for the crack hit-
ters to shoot at.
Larry finished with an average bet-
ter than .400 that year. Other oat-
tors have wallopcd the ball for .400 or
better averages. so there is nothing
unusual in the high mark Larry made
in 1901.
The unusual feature of Ilaliry's bat-
ting during the 1901 season was that
in making his mark of better than
.400 he never once fell below that
average during the entire campaign.
That is certainly a mark of consist—
cnt work at the bat. Larry was al—
ways that style batter. slumps in hit-
ting were a rarity with him.
