JOE GALLlA IRON MAN.
Leagues Boast of Many Twirlers Of
McGinnity Class.

Louis Durham, iron man de luxe, has
a rival for his title. For years the
stocky right handler who has done ser
vice for indianapolis, the New York
Giants and sundry clubs of the West.
ern league. had something on Joe Nc
Ginnlty, the original perpetual per
former. Now comes one, Joe Gallia
former member of the Washington slal
staff, in the role of n miracle man
Pitching for the Kansas City Blues al
Kansas city, Gallia on Sunday blank
ed James Tilden Sheckards Cleveland
Spiders twice in the same yard, To
scores prevailing in each combat. Tel
hits, one pass, seven strikeouts and
one hit batsman constitutes Gallia's
record.
Durham was n terror to all opposing
batsmen in the American association
while teaming it with RUDE MarquarG
back in 1906 and 1907 The late RUDE
Waddell was another steel armed work
man. Joe Cantillon tells the story OF
how Waddell, after shutting out a
team in eleven innings one afternoon
solemnly announced that he had just
warmed up and wanted to pitch the
second part of the doubleheader.
The old Cotton States league boasts
a record, held by Baxter Sparks. who
i'm 1904, pitched thirty-three games,
winning twenty-one in a row. In es-
tablishing this mark, Sparks hurled
three doublehcaders. three games being
shutouts. Jack Coombs, now in Chi
cago, with the world champion Ath-
letics also qualified as an iron man by
defeating Boston, 4 To l. in twenty-four
innings, on Sept. |, 1906. Since that
performance the cave man hung up
other remarkable records for endur-
ance, in tests. Big ED Reulbach, after
shutting out Brooklyn one afternoon,
came back i'm the second game of the
doublehcader and won, allowing the
opposition one score.

years old and is by the celebrated
triple crown winner, Rocksand, which
died i'm France recently.
In addition TO Travery, Belmont has
four other thoroughbreds in England.
In France he has several thorough
breds, stations and many brood mares
on a stud farm about thirty miles from
Paris. His chief stallion is Ethelbert.
a great race horse in his day in Ameri-
ca. Ethelbert has been in France
three years.
In the civil war the identity of many
thoroughbreds was lost and the breed =
ing of horses received black eye, in
asmuch as the pedigree could not be
traced.
w. X. Vanderbilt las about 500 stall
lions, brood mares, sucklings. wean-
lings, yearlings and horses in training
in France. 1t will be impossible for
him to ship these horses out OF France
If that country goes To war. None OF
his horses is as valuable as Tracery
but as he has many which have been
frequent winners on the French turf
in the last few years, his loss in the
event OF confiscation would reach
$500, 600.

FEAR LOSS OF

Warning Powers of Europe Have
Right to Use Steeds in Army

Saratoga, y. Y, Aug. american
turfmen who are racing horses in Eu-
rope fear they will lose their racers,
stations and brood mares in England,

powers can press into service all hors-

MAGNATES Will
POCKET LOSSES
Major Leagues Face 100000
Deficit at End of Season

New York, Aug. with the season
more than half over, it seems a Ger
tainty that the majority Of the mag
mates i'm the National, American and
Federal leagues will suffer losses that
may reach a total OF s2,000,0O0, while
the minor league losses will add prob
ably 100000 to $4,000 to that sum.
The year 1914 will be written on the
pages as the most disastrous year in
the history of the national game, due
to small attendance, huge salaries and
many postponed games.
In the National leOgue only the
| Giants seem to have made money up to
this writing. and their earnings so far
are said to he only half OF those for
the same period in the past three
years
II the Cubs can keep up their pres
ent pace and act as runnersup for the
leaders, they may get through the sea-
son with only a small loss, or may even
break few thousand dollars ahead OF
the game. This condition was not
thought possible six weeks ago because
the cubs were in rut and the Chi
cago fans had declared a boycott on
them. But since they have performed
