sums of money providing they win
thirty or more games
When George Mullin had so much
difficulty in pulling down his prize
for winning twenty-five games last
season the Detroit management gave
it out that no more bonuses would be
offered, as it appeared to handicap
this clever twirler to great extent
as he neared his goal.
At the first glance the offer appears
generous enough. When we think of
the great number of games in a
league schedule it seems easy enough
for pitcher to win the required
number, but it isn't.
Chase back through the records of
the National league and see how
many pitchers have won thirty
games. Joe McGinnity won just thir-
ty for Brooklyn in 1900. Not until
1903 did. another pitcher reach the
mark. That year Joe copied thirty.
one victories, and Christy Mathewson
reached the mystic number. The
following year the great Iron Man"
won thirty-five to Christy's thirty
three games.
In 1905 Mathewson was the only
twirler to pass the mark, winning
thirty-one battles. The next year
brought not a single thirty victory
pitcher, but in 1908 Christy came to
the fore again with thirty-seven vic
tories. Last year Mordecai Brown
led all with twenty-seven victories.
The story of the American league
twirlers is similar Cy Young marched
in victorious thirty-one times in 1901,
representing the Boston club. The
next season he added one to his
string, making it thirty-two victories
He led all his leagues slab perform.
ers in 1903, but won only twenty-eight
games.
Jack Chesbro was the shining light
of 1904, his greatest year in baseball
He brought home the bacon forty-one
times for the Highlanders, establish
ing record for wins in single sea
son under modern conditions. Bill
Bernhard, of the Maps, came within
one game of landing inside the Muir
ply limit
Until Ed Walsh's great year in
1908, when he won forty games and
lost but fifteen, the American league
had but one pitcher with forty vic
tories to his credit. Last year George
Mullin, of the Tigers, won twenty
nine games and led all his competi
tors.

the Rochester Sentinel. a splendid
weekly paper with large circulation.
In the course of his address DR..
Byrd said:
Presbyterianism is peculiarly adapted to
the substantial uplift and the Christianiz-
ing Of Negroes. The genius of Calvinism
as taught and believed by Presbyterians
is q counterpart to the very emotional
nature of the Negro. and when he imbibes
1t II produces a tertium quid. a very con-
sistent and orthodox follower Of Christ
His worship is intellectual. yet spiritual
The Presbyterian church has realized
the most satisfactory results Of all de-
nominations which have labored among
Negroes. The quantity of its adherents is
very small, but quality very excellent. 1t
has been the restraining power which has
caused the more emotional and enthusi-
astic churches to moderate their emotion
alism.
The schools however. are not progress
sive: are not as good and as high in point
Of curricula as they we're twenty-five
years ago. This Ii to be regretted.
The Presbyterian church will grow nu-
merically as soon as efficient Negroes are
pressed into the executive service OF the
church. A gradual manning Of freed
mems schools by freedmen should be the
policy Of the church.
Cumberland union did more to drive
Negroes away from the church than any
thing else. and the extent Of this Is great
er than imagined. The un-Christian poll
cy Of the foreign board II continued
means the wholesale exodus Of self re-
specting Negroes from the church.
When Negroes are refused the right Of
going into mission lands because they are
Negroes and because In these foreign
fields white missionaries must fraternize
with them should they go and to avoid
this Negroes are kept out Is the crime Of
the day. SO far as the church Is concern
ed. The existence Of the Negro in the
Presbyterian church Is the cause OF the
slow progress Of organic union Of espe-
ciaily the southern church.

BARS NEGROES AT CONVENTION

Columbia, S. c., Oct. 27.-There is
not federal officeholder nor negro
on the list of delegates here for the
Republican State convention called to
meet here today by John d. Capers,
national committee man for South
Carolina. The convention will con-
test the claim to regularity which
will be made by delegates elected at
a convention composed mostly of
negroes which met here Sep. 26.
Captain Capers insists that he and
his associates are determined that
the Southern negro shall not longer
keep us in helpless political bondage
for the sake of propitiating the negro
vote North and West"
