Of the Apennines, 1850 feet above the
sea level. 1t has rested there proudly
and securely for more than 1000 years.
It's entire territory is thirty-three square
miles In area. A ensus taken in July,
1913, gives it a population Of 11,O41.
Until recently its military force con-
sisted of 80 officers and $50 men. It
is surrounded entirely by Italian terri

The Brobdingnagian nations in the
war broke peace to fight each other,
but this liliputian republic merely open

After the statesmen of San Marino had
issued their neutrality declaration they
discovered that the nation had declared
war against Austria fifty years ago,
and San Marine entered the wal by
merely reafirming that a state Of war
exists with Austria.

On Nov. IL, 1914, San Marino defed
the kaiser in a reply to the demand Of
the German ambassador that the wire
less station at Monte Titano, which IL
in direct communication with the Elf
fel tower, be demolished. San Marine
in its reply recalled the ancient tradi-
lions of liberty and the dignity of the
republic and described the demand of
the ambassador as an un~justifed and
intolerable interference.
The republic Of San Marino," it
said. ''strong in It's right. has never
permitted interference by other states
in its internal affairs"
In January last the German govern
ment protested at San Marino, accus-
ing the republic Of encouraging espiOn-
age through its wireless station, and
threatened t O send a German commits
sion to inquire into the matter. The
republic declined to receive the COM

Once before, in the eighth century,
the people Of San Marine defied the
Germans, or at least the Holy Roman
empire. in the person of the mighty
Charlemagne, who, according to his
secretary. Einkhard, was destined to
die without ever having heard Of San
Marine or its declaration. But that
declaration exists and is said to be the
oldest document preserved which de-
fines the status Of the republic.

These days a hurler who pitches
fifty games. OF part games of baseball
in one season is looked upon as a
wonder and is called everything from
an iron man to a regular horse for
work and at that, the hurler who
gets in fifty games is a very rare bird.
Back in the SOS fifty games per sea-
son was considered comfortable
amount of work for the average hurl-
er but when 1t comes to winning fifty
full games of big league baseball in
one season, then the hurler is touch
ing the miraculous. Baseball history
gives the names Of several big league
pitchers that have accomplished this
wonderful feat
The pitcher who holds the record in
games won in a single season is the
famous A. G. Spalding, the greatest
hurler in his day and the many rec
ords he created stand up to the pres
ent time as the best OF course, Mr..
Spalding's work was pulled off under
different conditions than exist today,
but even at that his pitching was Won
derful.
II was in 1875 that A. G. Spalding
made his great record in games won
During that season he pitched sixty
three full games and won fifty-siX OF
them, a percentage of .SS9, the high
est average in games won in the his
tory of the game.
During the season of 1884 Charles
RadbOurne, for Providence, then in
the National League pitched seventy
one games of baseball, winning fifty
seven of them. This is the greatest
number of games won in a single sea
son in the history of major league
baseball. Guy Hecker, another famous
hurler of the old school and the stal
Of the Louisville club back in 1884
pitched seventy-one regulation game
that season and won an even fifty o

Hecker performed in a wonderful
manner that year. He whitfield seven

contest and he lost it at that. He ais,

his first full seasons work for good old
Cap Anson, which was in 1885. Clarkson
won 80 games Of real fighting baseball.
John G. pitched 60 games that season
and only lost l6, one being a tie.
Clarkson put a nick in the record of
all other hurlers in this respect by re-
peating the wonderful stunt of winning
fifty games or over in one season. After
the great Clarkson was sold to the Bos-
ton Nationals he proceeded to show the
owners they made no mistake in paying
