A glance through the records for
the 1904 baseball year. as compiled by
\. G. SpaldinE. shows where one Bax-
ter Sparks pitched thirty-three games
for Yazoo City. in the Delta League,
that year and twenty-One of those games
were won in succession. Sparks won
twenty-five out Of the thirty-three games.
Nine of them Were shut-out victories.
Sparks Is graduate Of the Cnlver-
sity OF Mississippi. and a Mississippi
boy. He was given a try-out by Mem
phis. He later pitched for Atlanta. and
is now pitching for NickSburg, in the
Cotton States League.
While Marduard is entitled to all
credit for his remarkable record Of nine
teen victories and no defeats this sea-
son. 1t should not he forgotten that Char
ley Rduooutne, the IdiHuuS iION''hS'
pitcher Of 1884, pitched eighteen consecu-
tive winning games in as many days.
Radbourne also pitched under the rule
calling for six balls and three strikes and
WAS several feet nearer the home plate
Luby of the ChiCa goes won twenty
straight comes in 1890, but that was
against comparatively inferior batsmen
in the National League. tnasmuch as all
the big hitters had Jumped over to the
Brotherhood. Luby didn't pitch every
