Deaths Exceed Births

 Time.

According to the report which was sent yesterday by City Health Officer Dr. w. T. Lowe to the state health officer, Morgan Smith, of Little Rock, there were fifteen more deaths ln Pine Bluff and Vaugine Township during the month of February than births.

Pitched g Games.

Back in 1884 Charles Radbourne, the wonderful Providence pitcher, worked in 72sgames-pitched oftener than once every other day and finish ed the season with winning percent age of .838 A year later John Clark son, another of the great old time pitchers, twirled 70 games for Chi cago, getting a rating of .790. Four years later-in., 1S89-Clarkson equal ed Radbourne's record for the num- Der of games pitched in one season, by twirling 72 for percentage of .736.
 But even more wonderful than these performances is that of A. G. Spauld- ing, now one of the leading sporting goods men of the country. Spauld- ing's record for consistent winning in the pitchers box, and for endurance powers as pitcher, perhaps never will be equalled He led the league for five consecutive years. Here is his record:

AVERAGES TELL TALE.
(By Frank G. Menke.)

New York, March 11.-It must make twirlers giggle bit behind their goatees when sporting scribes of the present day attach the title of ''iron man. to every finger whose name fig ures in upwards of thirty-fve 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 Ruehlbach, Big Ed" Walsh, Walter Johnson, Jack iCoombs, "Rube" Marquard and a few others who have worked in about 40 games a season and emerged with a rather healthy winning percentage.
 But in the days that are gone a pitcher was considered a mighty lazy and useless block is he didn't work in at least 50 games-and 50 games, in those days, meant 50 complete games. In these days it quite often happens that pitcher whose name figures in 40 games worked in only about 30 full games and that in the other ten games he worked only an inning or two as relief pitcher. 7
 Gazing back along the tcail 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.

Villa Wants lturbide

Mexico City, Dec. 2S..-Villa has
| telegraphed officials at Chihuahua
to remove Eduardo Iturbide from a
northbound train and to return him
prisoner to Mexico City.
lturbide acted as governor of the
federal district for short time after
the Carranza forces evacuated the
capital. Upon the entrance OF, Ia
pata he was compelled to go into
hiding as his arrest was threatened
1t was said that he was concealed
in one Of the foreign legations OF the
capital until two days ago when he
was smuggled into sleeping car
and started on his journey toward I'll
Paso When this became known
General villa was furious. saying:
"A foreigner, an American named
Leon Canova, who claims to be 4
representative Of Secretary of State
Bryan. smuggled lturbide into car
and attempted to get him across the
American border. lie had no right
to do this and has meddled unwar-
rantedly in Mexican affairs. Iturbide
must be brought back to Mexico
City and stand trial for the often
ses with which he is charged"
Zapata officials claim to have evi-
dence that Iturbide forced employees
of his plantation to join Huerta's
army during the recent revolution.
and have asked for his execution as
a traitor.
Provisional President, Gutierrez and
General Villa today held a conference
by wire with General Zapata, who
was at Cuernayaca. As result 1t
was decided TO dismiss all former
federal officers from the present ar
mics.

Oklahom, { ty Dec hT.--E. H.
Howard, secretary of the state board
of prison affairs, has just completed
his examination of the State Reform
atory at Granite and has in mind the
report and suggestions he will make
to the legislature. He is impressed
with the complete equipment that is
at hand there for quarrying granite
and dressing the stone for building
purposes. He will point this out to
the legislature. together with the
comments on the excellent quality of
the stone for building purposes. The
state plant at Granite is complete
and in condition to supply granite of
superior quality in proper shape for
any state building enterprises that
may be undertaken hereafter.
The labor of the prisoners there
can be utilized in this granite quar-
rying and finishing enterprise, and 1t
would seem that an inexpensive and
excellent building material can be
had there for any use by the state
which may become necessary. Mr.
Howard will point out these things
in his report without dwelling on
or recommending any particular use
