Tw1RLERs' NEW RECORD.
-Four Games in the American Without
Allowing a Safety.

Chicago. Oct. 13-After going two
seasons without pitching no-hit game,
American league twirlers set a new
record this year by pitching four games
without allowing a safety. That Is
more than ever before recorded in one
organization in single season. Better
than that, the worlds record of shut
ting out a team without letting a bats
man reach first base has been tied in
1908.
CIV Young of Boston. Dusty Rhoades
and Addie Joss OF Cleveland and De-
serter Smith of Chicago are the Amer
can league pitchers who worked in
complete games of nine innings without
allowing a hit this year. To Joss of
Cleveland belongs the honor of equal
ing the best possible performance on
the slab. that of retiring twenty-seven
men In succession without letting one
of them to first. Joss performed that
feat against the White Stockings.

One Game of Sixteen Runs.

Pittsburg, Oct. 13.-The largest
number of runs scored in a 1908 game
in the National league was 16 and
the Cubs made that number in their
last game with Cincinnati Only nine
times did a team pile up more than
twelve runs in game and the Cubs
were in three of those runaway bat
ties. The high run mark for 1907 in
that league was held by Pittsburg. 1t
was 20 runs against New York. In
1906 the Cubs held the palm with
their famous 10 to o defeat of the
Giants.

league up to this season. The way
the old leagues pitchers have been
gaining in the whitewash business is
shown by the fact there were 141
shutouts in 1906, 105 in 1906 and only
81 in 1904. In five seasons, therefore,
the number has nearly doubled.
Thirty-nine of this --ear's shutout
games have been of the l to variety,
against forty-two of that kind a year
ago.
Drawn games in the National
league this season numbered only six,
and there were twelve of them last
year. but none of the 1907 variety was
anywhere near as famous as the one of
nine innings which ended in a riot at
the New York Polo grounds this year.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-American league
players worked overtime in sixty
three games during the season just

than they were required to go beyond
nine innings in 1907. The longest
sieges this season lasted sixteen in

of the sixteen inning affairs, beating
st Louis, 2 to 1, on July Is. That
month seemed to be prolific of long
games.
While the record of twenty-four in

there were more of the extended con-
tests than usual. for ten battles went
beyond twelve innings. Four of them
lasted thirteen innings, two of them

The prohibition question comes
up occasionally and in talking
about il speakers seem to forget
that the matter was left to a vote
of the people and the majority
stood for it. Whether one party
or another favored it is aquestion
not at stake, but doubtless some
men will be influenced by it.
However, it seems that the ques-
ton had been thoroughly discuss
ed and settled when the vote was
taken and this should let the mat
ter rest until another election is
called.

POSSIBLY the reason others did
not get robbed at the fair or on
their way to the fair was because
the pick pockets knew their bust
ness and did not care to waste
efforts on fellows that did not
have anything. So you see, if
you want people to think you
have money it is a yood idea to
get robbed in a crowd.
