Arthur Pelky wants another fiaht

he is not particularly anxious to fight,
but he is willing to accept another

One is not surprised to read that
there is perfect concord between Gin

In Wow of the fact that Otto knabe

Frank Menke's
Sporting Letter

New York, March lit must
make the veteran fans and the old
time twirlers giggle bit behind their
goatees when sporting scribes of the
present day attach the title of "iron
man" to every finger whose name
figures in upwards of 35 games each
season.
In this day and age fandom slips the
laurel to and goes into raptures over
"the remarkable endurance powers
shown by Ed Ruelbach, Big Ed Walsh,
Walter johnson, Jack Coombs, Rube
Maaquard and few others who have
worked in about 40 games a season
and emerged with rather healthy
winning percentage.
But in the days that are gone a
pitcher was considered mighty lazy
and useless bloke if he didn't work
in at least SO games-and so games,
in those days, meant so complete
games. In these days it quite often
happens that pitcher whose name
figures in 40 games worked in only
about 80 full games and that in he
other ten games he worked only an
inning or two as a relief pitcher.
Gazing back along the trail that
leads to the yesterday of baseball, one
finds some achievements by the old
time pitchers that overshadows even
the remarkable present day perform
ances Of Christy Mathewson, Walter
Johnson and the other pitching stars
of this period.
Back in 1884 Charles Radbourne,
the wonderful Providence pitcher.
worked in 72 games-pitched oftener
than once every other day and finished
the season with winning percentage
Of 1873. A year later John Clarkson,
another of the great old time pitch
ers, twirled 70 games for Chicago, get
ting rating of 100. Four years
later-in 1889-Clarkson equaled
Radbourne's record for the number OF
games pitched in one season, by twirl-
ing 72 for a percentage of 1876.
But even more wonderful than these
performances is that of A. G. Spald-
ing, now one of the leading sporting
goods men of the country Spalding's

An "American French Family"
Omitted Press Day Service)

Paris, March 11.-Commenting on
the declining birth rate in France, a
writer in the Matin declares that the
average French family now consists
Of dag. piano and child. "Mon-
siear plays with the dog, madame
plays the piano, and the child is left
either to the grandmother, the aunt or
the servant says The writer, who
contends that with only sons marry
ing only daughters the enormous pro-
portion of cne child families will be
considerably increased during the next
generation.

His record of 1893 made in 1873 Is
the highest ever turned in by a pitcher.
After orbing those records one must
admit that there seems to be some
justification for the continual co-rak-
ing of the old timers that "baseball
today amt what it uster be when we
was young fellers."
John M. Ward, now business mana
ger of the Brooklyn Federal league
team, pitching for Providence in 1879,
worked in 65 games for an average of
.7O2. James E. Whitney of Boston led
the National league pitchers in 1882
with an average of .683 for 62 games.
Bill Hutchison of Chicago was the
last Of the "truck horse" pitchers of
the early days in 1891, he averaged
.696 for 63 games.
In the days before the Brother
hood war-which resulted in the bet
tering of players conditions-mosto OF
the major league clubs carried only
two regular pitchers. Some, during
certain portions of the season, carried
only one, an infielder or outfielder re-
lieving him occasionally. On these oc-
casions the regular pitcher got. a
rest by taking the place of the fielder
who substituted for him.
The best record for the number of
games pitched in one season since 191 Il
was hung up in 1909 by
"Big Ed' Walsh of the White
Sox, when he hurled in 55
games. with a winning percentage
since 1891, was hung up in 1908 by
Big Ed Walsh of .727. Jack Ches-
bro, the former New York Yankee
pitcher, figured in SO games in 1904
and grabbed off TIA. Joe McGinnity
then with the Giants, pitched 81 games
in 1904 and finished with record Of
.814.
