WILHELM BREAKS
 WORLDS RECORD
 70 SMITHEREENS

the words record, and within five in- nings of breaking 1t. Manager Vaughn all the players and sporting writers got around him, urging him to keep working. He finally consented to do so. the under standing being that as soon as one man scored Clark would relieve him. Clark urged Wilhelm to try for the record, and in doing so sacrificed his own chance of pitching 800 baseball this season, as one more victory would have given him a total of eighteen successes as against eighteen defeats.
 Wilhelm started to pitching, and found that he was no weaker than in the first game He passed through the first three innings with great ease, and when the fourth was passed, and he had tied the worlds record. he concluded to win out or pitch his arm away. In the fifth he had no trouble whatever in retiring the side, and at its conclusion found himself, in one respect at least, in class alone. He finished the game without letting Pirate score, and Is now above the erst- while worlds record by five innings.
 Wilhelm was never In better form. nor was he more prominently In the game. He yielded six hits In the first affair but in the second held the Pirates to three. He flelded his position admirably, as he always does. He was in more than one spectacular play, retiring a runner at the plate flying now to retire a man at first, and fielding with splendid ability He deserved his record.
 Wilhelm has won twenty-two games this season, and lost thirteen, his percentage being .629. Tn the minds of local fans there Is not a pitcher his equal in Dixie, when pitching, fielding his position, and headwork Is considered. As has been stated he has been drafted by Brooklyn next season, and 1t Is possible that on yesterday afternoon he made hs last appearance in Birmingham.
 In commenting on the doubleheader vic tory of yesterday. by means of which Wilhelm established new record for tho number of consecutive shutout innings, his support must not be overlooked. The Barons fielded sensationally behind him, and every man was imbued with an earn est desire that he carry his point. Then, too, the pitcher, he went the pace re- allzed that every heart about the field was beating In accord with his own.

 Rose easily won in the 16-pound shot event, putting the shot 49 feet 51s inches, within an inch of his worlds mark made at Jamestown.
 The weather conditions were ideal for record breaking, and a large crowd turned out
 There was great disappointment when Dan Kelly of Oregon failed to appear for the 1OO-yard dash. G. J. Merz (51s yards) captured the race In 10 seconds from J. R. Kilpatrick New York Athletic club t71z yards); II. G. Wolf (6A yards), third.
 Melvin Sheppard of the lrish-Ameriean was outrun in the 100-yard event. He did not seem to be in his old form and fn- ished in the rear. Van Thur of the Xavier Athletic club with 6O-yard gift, won the event in 2:22 2-5. B. G. Doody t56 yards) was second and D. C. Kennedy t4f yards), third.

When Wilhelm passed through the fifth of the second game of yesterdays double header he had smashed to smithereens a worlds record.
 Today Little Eva" has pitched greater number of consecutive shutout innings than any other pitcher of the world.
 Pitcher Johnston, now with Washington, when he worked in the Idaho State league, pitched six consecutive shutout games, or total of fifty-four innings.
 Including the eighteen Innings pitched by Wilhelm yesterday, In which no Pirate touched the home plate, the Baron star slabman has worked through fifty-nine consecutive shutout inngs His record, as is seen tops that of Pitcher Johnston by five innings. And Wilhelm has chance to add a few more innings to his record.
 When the Barons were last in Shreve- port Wilhelm relieved clark at the con- clusion of the fourth inning of the last game in that burg. He worked through the ensuing five innings without allowing the Pirates a score. On returning home to face the westerners Little Eva shut New Orleans out with comparative ease. He figured in two Memphis games, and in both scored shutouts. He followed these games with one against Little Rock, and again he allowed no alien foot to touch the local home rubber Then came the Pirates Yesterday Wilhelm pitched a doublehe eader. winning both games with out allowing an opponent to score. His consecutive inning shutout record follows:
