about Spears and Mcnamara that

to Mcnamara. Nothing quite like
him has ever been seen around here
as a handicap rider, we have been
informed. When Claude HoIgate was
the press agent of the Motordrome
he would have Mcnamara slowing
up in order to have Kramer make
a respectable showing in a handicap
race, and as for the other regulars. "

Rare pitching feats were in the air
yesterday. Jersey City and Toronto
| played one of the greatest games in
history and worlds record in it's
way. The Shelters and the Maple
Leafs battled for twenty innings
without result and without a single
run being scored on either side. It
was a most remarkable contest in
every way. Bunny Hearne pitched
the entire game for Toronto, while
Thompson twirled thirteen innings
for Jersey City. He was relieved
not because of his ineffectiveness, but
because Manager Schlafly, seeing a
chance to win the game, put Chubby
| Manser in as a pinch hitter" for
Thompson. Brandon, who succeeded
him, pitched runless ball throughout
his tenure of office. Hearne, how
ever. was the hero of the occasion
in that he twirled the entire game.
He allowed only six hits and he gave
five bases on balls. His opponents
were located for eight hits, four being
made off Thompson in the thirteen
innings in which he worked, and an
equal number being secured off
Brandon in the seven innings in
which he performed Back of the
twirlers brilliant baseball abounded.
Only two errors were made on both
sides, Purtell, of Jersey City, and
Bill Bradley, of Toronto, being the
offenders.
Jersey City by its performance
yesterday goes from one record into
another Five years ago on July
5, 1908, the Skeeters and the New
arks played a record game at Wied-
enmayers Park, the teams battling
for nineteen innings without run
being scored. The pitchers on that
occasion were King Brockett, for the
Tigers, and Eddie LATTE, for the
Shelters. The hits in this game were
Jersey City, g. Newark, 3. George
Stallings managed the Tigers, and
the league at the time was known
as the Eastern League. In 1912 there
was another understanding game,
but there were runs scored. Strange
again Toronto figured in the record,
Buffalo being the opposing club. The
Maple Leafs won by a score of 4 to
g. Thus Jersey City and Toronto have
figured in two long, drawn-out bat
ties. and they hold the record now
for the number of scoreless innings.

The other remarkable pitching
feats occurred in the bush leagues
Willie Whitaker, twirling for thu
Keolxuk Central Association Club
annexed for himself a worlds record
when, working in double-header
he pitched twenty-one innings with
out allowing a single run. Botf
games ended in to scores, the frs
being regular nine-inning affair anC
the second game lasting twelve in
| nings. In the twenty-one innings
Whitaker allowed only five hits
The game was played on the Keokul
teams grounds, and Waterloo wa:
the opposing club. Thus it was {
waterloo for Waterloo, but not a
Waterloo.

The other pitching event of yester
day occurred at New London, wheI
Bill Powers, pitching for the New
London Eastern Association, laboret
through eighteen innings of {
double header, won both games
BANKED the New Ravens, the oppos
ing team, in each contest, and allow
