" A worlds record for continu-

when Jim O'Rourke failed 10 step to

For SO years the veteran has played
at least one game during the season

his service dates from the formation
of the National League in 1874 till

For SO years Uncle JeemS" has
been in the game but 1913 has passed
into history and he has dropped out.
Eager as he has been to play just
one game in order that his averages
might be recorded as a part of the
history Of the sport. he took the ad
vice of his physician, who advised
him that, because Of a severe illness
the past winter, he should quit ath-
letiCs
Close upon so years of age the
veteran retired from everyday play
ing only four years ago. but he has
made it a hobby to play al least one
regular match TIL the present time.
O'Rourke Is So Years Old.
II is not believed that any other
rival has passed the quarter cen
fury mark in continuous service, al
though O'ROurke was enrolled in pro-
fessiOnal baseball for practically
every scheduled match Of the success

His record, II seems certain, will
never be beaten. He is So years old.
