The total of 31 runs by one team in one game is a new re- cord in the League. No less than 18 runs were tallied in the third inning by Colts, another record for one inning. No less than 23 batters came to bat for Clinton in the third inning, five players bat- ting three times. One player, Clarence Neilans, was hit by pit- cher three times during the game.
