The sport's section (page 29) has a three column headline: "Giants' Seven Homers Rout Reds" with subheads that include: "ONE MARK BROKEN, TWO TIED BY GIANTS" "Five Homers in Inning Better Major Standard Set in 1894 and Help Stop Reds, 17-3" and more with box scores. (see) First report coverage on the New York Giants becoming the 1st MLB team to hit 5 home runs in 1 inning. Players who contributed to this record were: Harry Danning, Frank Demaree, Burgess Whitehead, Manny Salvo and Joe Moore. Since then, 4 teams have achieved this record as well. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
