In the days before the brotherhood
war which resulted in the lettering
of players conditions, most of the
major league clubs carried only two
regular pitchers. Some, during GER

only one, an infielder or outtielder re-
leving him occa sionally. on these
occasions the regular pitcher got

fielder who substituted for him.
THE best record for the number of
games pitched in one season

THERE is no mistake about It.
Willie is a golfer and he assured
me that he would rather be a cham

NEW YORK. March 12.-It must
v make the veteran fans and the
old-time twirlers giggie a bit
behind their goatees when sporting
scribes OF the present day attach the
title of Iron man" to every finger
whose name figures in upward Of 50
games each season.
In this day and age fandom slips
the laurel to and goes into raptures
over the remarkable endurance pow
ers" shown by Ed Reulbach, Big Ed
Walsh. Walter johnson, Jack Coombs,
"Rube" Marquard and 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 mighty lazy
and useless bloke if he didn't work in
AT least so games-and 80 games. in
those days, meant 50 complete games.
In these DAYS it quite often happens
that a pitcher whose name figures in
10 games worked in only about 30
full games, and that in the other 10
games he worked only an inning or
two as q relief pitcher.
Z AZING back along the trail that
" leads to the yesterday of base
ball. one finds some achievements by
the old time pitchers that overshad-
ow even the remarkable present-day
performances Of Christy MatheWson,
Walter Johnson and the other pitch
ing stars OF this period.
Back in 1884 Charles Radbourne,
the wonderful Providence pitcher,
worked in 70 games-pitched oftener
than once every other day and nm
ished the season with a winning per
centage OF .sSS. a year later John
