Fant Has Hot Hand, Bangs 5 Hits

BUFFALO, NY. September 15, 1914 - Buffalo third baseman Bob Fant could do no wrong in yesterday's 13-12 win over the Tip-Tops as he collected 5 hits.

"In every one of his at-bats things were in his favor... he got hitter's counts," said Brooklyn skipper Gus Trause after the game.

Fant agreed. "The key is getting ahead. Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit. You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."

Bob Fan singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

So far this season Fant has put up a .333 batting average with 185 hits, 4 home runs and 103 RBIs. Brooklyn is 27 and 1/2 games out in the Federal League with a 61-83 record.
