markable speed but, as he himself admits but little else.
 Nineteen hundred and fourteen found him in fine shape, a. rejuvenated team behind him, the best of anagement and the rest a history. How James burned through the circuit with his two great teammates, Rudolph and Ty- Ter, has been written in indelible char dcters in the annals of the season just passed But great as was his record there was one feature of, 1t that couldn't help but prove disappoint- ing to the gT eat pitcher.
 James had won nine straight games when he struck unexpected opposition at Pittsburgh. He pitched grandly, the game going into extra innings but in the thirteenth round the victory ebhed against him, the final count be- ing three to two. Certainly there is nothing diScreGitable in losing such a game as that. But the unfortunate part of it from James standpoint was that after this unexpected and undo served rebuff he went right on win ming never stopping until he had an neXed eleven more victories What does this mean? asks the unenlighten- ed reader. Merely this, taht James was robbed by the most untoward and unfortunate of circumstances. from breaking the worlds record for vic tories won. Twenty-One straight vic tories might and should have been the count To have such a record marred in the middle by an undeserved de- feat of 2. is a bit of hard luck that might discourage any pitcher.-Base ball Magazine.

 Well, listen to Comics argument on that matter. Asked why he should cast his eyes upon the veteran Larry to fill inc spot in Philadelphia made facous by the peerless Collins. Mack said:

EIGHTH TIME LANGFORD

Two Pugiiists Will Clash Friday
 Night.

Tn the face of big protests the Ken osha promoters will go ahead with the Sam Langford- Sam McVey bout Fri day night, which, as far as the week s dstic festivities are concerned, is the big match. Those in on the know at Kenosha. and other Wisconsin cities where the boxing game is Tolerated are not backward in declaring that the meeting between the two big col ored men will help greatly to bring about the death of the boxing game in Wisconsin, so strong is the opposi- tion against these fighters appearing in Kenosha. The officials of the town are fighting tooth and nail to have the bout cancelled but the promoter of the contest is just as determined to pull it off.
 The fight itself will. without ques- ton. result in a steaming battle Lang ford and McNey are not strangers by any means and for heavyweights can be counted upon to supply bout as warm a piece de resistance as could be asked for. Their battles, seven in all, resulted in five victories for Langford and two drawn battles.

JAMES ALMOST BROKE
 THE PITCHING RECORD
Bill James of Boston Braves Made a
 Great Record.

Bill James, through at the age when most players are lucky to be fairly started, proved himself last year one of the diamonds great natural pitchers With a superb build for twirler, inn rnense speed, great strength and en- durance. he blazed his way to the front on sheer natural ability With the further acquisition of experience he should be one of the greatest all round pitchers of history. Some day he may yet break the pitching record which he came so near Shattering in the season just passed.
 The batting of Hank Gowdy was the feature of the series The pitch ing of Rudolph was it's most consist ent performance. But the one game contributed by Long Bill James was the most perfect piece of tWirling skill seen in a worlds series in many a day.
 James needed no grand worlds series send-off to bring his name be- fore the public eye. for he had just completed one of the best seasons a pitcher ever had. But there is no dis counting the fact that his wonderful feat in holding the redOubtable Athle- tics to two lean hits in nine innings would have counted an unheard of prodigy but one short year ago.
 James did not pitch so often as Ru- dolpl in the series, solely because he was . younger man with limited ex- perie1ce to match the willy craft of Stallings sGlreWd veteran. When if came to comparison of natural gifts there is no comparison. Rudolph pitches with lis head. his craft, his control James is d pitcher of prodi- gal gifts who car burn them over the plate with sheer speed. Give him the experience of his great teammate and at the same age he should lead the National league.
 William James was born in Iowa Hil Cal. All his life save that spent in baseball has been passed in Cali fornia. In winter he resides most of the time at Orcville Hill part of the time in San Francisco. He is a great hunter and fisherman. a genuine low CT of the open air. A typical athlete he is a born pitcher so far as build is concerned and from what he has al ready accomplished in that line there is no doubt that his vocation has been well chosen.
 His first play for money was with the Hammonton team managed by Elm met SchOfield. who used to be a mem Der of the Seattle club. Through the advice of his manager James signed with Seattle while still in his teens. though the influence of his family pre- vented him from reporting till year after. They were set against baseball as they had quite a different career in view for him. And for a year their in huence was strong enough to overcome the lure of the diamond. In the end, however, baseball tTiumDhed and James went to Seattle.
 This was in 1912, and he had a grand record on his first appearance. Among other notable achievements he won sixteen straight games. He had re-

WHEN COLLINS WON SERIES.
Called on Men After Three Games
 Were Gone.

Reports that Jimmy Collins, the greatest third baseman that ever play ed the game, is recovering from a se- rious illness in Buffalo, recalls the greatest chapter in American league history.
 Back in 1903 Collins led. his Red Sox into the world series battles with the Pirates. The Pirates took the first three games of the series in such easy fashion that it seemed nothing but 8 miracle could win the world cham pionship for the So1. To win the Red Sox had to take the four remaining games. And they did, because Collins game to the core. begged and pleaded with his men to come back
 After the third straight beating Ban Johnson and the club owners quit cold They left town that night. To them it seemed a hopeless fight. And then it was that Collins gathered his men around him and, with tears in his eyes said:

NEW ERA LN ATHLETIC
 POLICY DAWNS AT VALE
Blue Men Expect to See Teams Pick
 Up the Ground They Have Lost.


 Yale sees the dawn of a new era in it's athletic policy. The Alumni Week iy says that the Blue has finally ar rived at the conclusion that Yales rivals came to several years ago in re- gard to coaching systems and the like. and that from now on Yale may Ioe expected to pick up the ground that was lost in the period of floundering through which the university has gone in the past three or four years.
 Cheerful Tone.
 The tone of cheerfulness that the Yale Alumni Weekly sends out is as follows:
 Yale athletics were successful over a, long period when her rivals were f7oundering and Yale herself had set tied systems. Then the pendulum swung the other way; others took a leaf out of the Yale book and adopted coaching systems in the various inter- collegiate sports in which time was given a chance to help solve the prob lem.
 Yale, forsaking that solid ground, fell into the Tnire from which her ri- Vals had ext1icated themselves. The results, for some years past, have been what might have been expected. With no system, no permanent policy, no graduate n1apasing head, no general athletics from which to develop per ennial new university material, our sports fell from bad to worse until something had to be done about it.
 "A first step three years ago, was the adoption of a new athletic associa- ton constitution. There followed stren- uous efforts to put baseball. rowing and football back on an even better basis than they had been before In baseball this has already been accom- plished. In rowing, after one or two hopeful efforts that did not succeed. a final effort was made last year that would have resulted in what we were after, even had the plucky Yale crew not happened to win by few feet. In this sport an organized recouping of our lost rowing -lonoTS is now un- der full swing and unquestionably promises much for the future if we stick to what we have begun.
 Tn football a long period of unset tied policies and changing head coach es was ended last fali when a new leader was secured on a three year contract, whose results, until the final Harvard game showed weaknesses that were naturally the penalty of the cha otic conditions of the last few years were the most brilliant in recent foot ball history. To take green team that at first promised no rush1ine at all, teach it d new and brilliantly in terestinG offense, and to win one of

Great Victory for VinoI Over a Severe Bronchial Cough. Vinol Succeeded After EV- erVthinn Else Failed.

Bogalusa, Ala am g housekeeper A1ld have three in my family, and had a terrible cough and pains in my chest for long was discouraged. coughed almost constantly and would almost lose mybreath. My trouble interfered with my work because was so weak and rundown from continual coughing. I took cod liver oil emulsions and other medicines which did me no good. Fin aTly our druggist told me about VinoI. I tried it and noticed an improvement almost immediately and its continued use has completely cured me. Vinol is certainly wonderful and I praise it wherever go. ."-Mrs. ". E. CARLISLE, Bogalnsa, Ala.
 The reason Vino1 is 30 successful in curing chronic coughs, colds and bron- ehitis, is because of the healing and tissue building influence of the medicinal principles of cod liver oil, assisted by the tonic and blood making properties of tonic iron, all contained in Finol.
 If Yinol fails to benefit any person in Eliis vicinity who suffers from chronic coughs, colds or bronchitis, or to build np the weak, rundown or dehilitated, sFe will pay back their money
