Monday, July 17th, 1905: Super Swinger Snags NL Player of the Week
At the age of 28, Ginger Beaumont might have some potential he hasn't realized yet -- if his success at the plate last week is any indication. The Pittsburgh center fielder put up some exceptional numbers the past seven days collecting the National League Player of the Week Award.

He racked up 11 hits in 25 at-bats, 1 home run and 2 RBIs last week in 6 games.

Hitting .304 to date, Beaumont has 4 home runs and 29 RBIs. He has played in 83 games.

Monday, July 17th, 1905: Star of the Week Picked in AL
Philadelphia's Andy Coakley is only 22, but last week he put up numbers that would make a seasoned veteran proud. That's why the young hurler earned the American League Player of the Week award.

Coakley tallied 2 wins, 3 strikeouts in 18 innings and a 0.50 ERA for the week.

In the current season in 17 starts, Andy Coakley has a record of 11-5 with 59 strikeouts in 145.2 innings and a 1.73 ERA.

Tuesday, July 18th, 1905: Washington's Hill to Miss Season
Hunter Hill has to call it a season. The Washington Senators third baseman sustained a season-ending injury against the Chicago White Sox and will not play again this year according to club doctors. Hill was injured while colliding with a player at a base. His doctors diagnosed it as a fractured ankle and stated that he would not be able to play for 4 months.

Thus far in 1905 Hill is batting .216 with no home runs, 12 RBIs and 14 runs scored.

Tuesday, July 18th, 1905: Mertes Goes 5-5 Against Pittsburgh
5 times is a charm -- at least in the world of baseball. When a player gets 5 or more hits in a game, he is honored in the record book and the latest honoree is Sam Mertes of the New York Giants. He tore up the Pittsburgh Pirates to the tune of 5 hits in 5 at-bats in the New York 9-2 win today at Polo Grounds III.

"Mertes was a tough out today," the Pittsburgh manager said to the press in the postgame interview. "He hit some very good pitches with that quick bat of his. Not an easy out, that's for sure."

S. Mertes singled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off S. Leever in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.

For the year Mertes is batting .308 with 102 hits and 5 home runs. He has scored 50 times and driven in 37.
