 Work.

When Weldon Henley Of the Phila- lelphia American league club recently retired the St. Louis Americans with put hit or run he performed the feat that is the aspiration of every pitcher.
 It is not an achievement easy of ae- complishment 4 glance at the records proves this. Since the National league was organized thirty years ago. only thirty three pitchers have succeeded in putting their names on this roll of honor, an average Of only a triae more than one a season
 This record includes games played n the National league. Players league.

MATHEWSOS, WHO SHUT OUT ST LOUM
 AND CHICAGO WITHOUT A HIT American association and American league The difficulty of the feat is not hard to understand. It means that the pitcher must have had the craft to fool at least twenty seven batsmen.
 It was in 1879 that a pitcher was first able to send an opposing team from the field without yielding a single safety. Lee Richmond, the Worcester (AIass.) left handler, was the twirler, and the team he beat was Clereland. In this game not a Cleveland player reached first base in any way. Rich mond did not give base on balls and the team behind him did not make aE error.
 Johnny Ward did the same thing against the Providence CR. IJ team a year and five days later
 Twice again. in 1880. teams were re tired without hits Boston by COrcoran of Chicago. Aug 19, and Worcester by Calvin of Buffalo the next day.
 Nobody was able to get away with the trick in 1881, but in 1882 Corcoran of Chicago repeated against Worcester his previous success over Boston.
 In 1883 the feat was recorded twice, RadbOurne Of Providence. great pitcher. scoring it against Cleveland and the latter team getting even at the expense of the tail ender Philiies by giving them the same dose, Daly pitch ing.
 Corcoran of Chicago made his record the greatest of bny of the mo hit pitchers by doing the act for the third time in 1881 against Providence.
 Providence was twice retired with out a hit in 1885, Clarkson of Boston and Ferguson of Philadelphia perform ing tie feat
 Washington and New York suffered at the hands of the present Pittsburg pitcher. Philippe. then of Louisville. and Willis of Boston in 1899. and in 1900 Philadelphia. deprived of hits by Hahn of Cincinnati was the only team to make this kind of baseball history.
 Matnewson of the New York Ma tionals kept St Louis from putting out safety July l2. 1901. and Callahan. by retiring Detroit without hit, Seps.

 Fraser of Philadelphia was the only pitcher to win the twirling blue ribbon In 1908, Chicago being bis victim
 In 1904 Tannehill of the Boston Americans pitched mo bit" game against the Chicago team.
 Mathewson of New York did the trick to the Chicago Nationals early in the present season and shares with Henley the honors of 1905. Waddeli recently in five innings allowed no hit and struck out nine men-quite a rec ord.
 Judging by the records of the past, the feat will hardly take place again this season.
