Iected From Them Is Excessive and
Unreasonable

OLD PITCHERS
GREAT RECORD
Won Twenty-Six Out Of Twen-
ty-SeVeR Games and
Landed the Pennant

In comparison with the performance
Of the present day pitchers, the re-
markable record of Charley Radbourne
of the Providence club, stands unequal
ed in the history OF baseball. He
pitched in twepty-seven consecutive
games, winning twenty-six. thereby
giving the championship pennant to
the Providence team.
The club in 1884 had Radbourne and
Charley Sweeney as pitchers. In the
middle Of the season Sweeney deserted
the team. and it looked as il all hopes
for the pennant were gone. Radbourne
started unaided to ciinch the cham
pionship. and did so before he stopped
pitching. "Old Hoss' work in tho
box established a record for the Provi-
dence club of twenty straight victories,
the nearest approach ever made to
that being the performance OF the Chi
cago Americans last year. when they
won nineteen games in succession,
only TO be stopped by the Washing
ton team when It looked as II the
Providence achievement would at least
be duplicated. 10 not surpassed. Rad
bournes first defeat after eighteen
straight victories. was TO o, at the
hands Of the Buffalo team, in which
only five hits were made Off the Provi-
dence wender. while only four hits
were scored against the Buffalo pitch-
er. Then he resumed his victorious
career. pitching in eight winning games
right of the reel. This made a total
OF twenty-six victories in twenty-seven
games. BY this time Providence had
the pennant won. and afterward Rad
bourne ofiiciated in the box in only
eight more games. Of which he won
five. winding up with a five-hit shut
out game against Philadelphia.
After the championship of 1884 had
been concluded the Providence club
franchise was disposed of 70 four Of
the National League clubs. Boston se-
cured Radbourne. He remained with
that club until the outbreak of the
Brotherhood in 1890. when he cast his
lot with the players league, With the
settlement Of that trouble Radbourne
went with Cincinnati. where he became
IN and retired from the game. He died
