St. Paul Stops Stiles's Hit Streak
CHICAGO, IL. August 5, 1914 - All good things must come to an end -- and so it was today for Gilbert Stiles as he saw his 32-game hitting streak end. He went hitless in 2 at-bats at the hands of the Saints. It wasn't all bad for the 27-year-old shortstop and the Chicago Orphans, as they defeated St. Paul 3-0 at Landgraf Park to extend their lead in the United League to 9 and 1/2 games.
When asked about his hitting streak, a smiling Stiles laughed and said, "I guess my luck ran out today."
This season Stiles is batting .335 with no home runs. His totals include 54 RBIs and 57 runs scored.
