SOME NOTES OF INTEREST

Is Philadelphia losing her athletic grip,
or is it because the athletes of the neigh
boring cities of Pennsylvania are coming
into their own? For long time the
Quaker City has been the unquestioned
mill that turned out star athletes and tip
top teams. Times have changed. During
the last few years Reading and Will
mington have come to the fore, and just
now are knocking at the door Of the
Philadelphia champions
The Reading Athletic Club has come
to be n real factor In every cross-country
and track and field meet he'd In this
section. In the recent Junior hill-and-
dale race the visitors came within nm ace
of carrying off the team trophy. Only
the Boys Club of the Church Clubs
strong band could stop them.
Only this week did Wilmington show
her teeth. At the all-around meet held
at the Central Y. NJ. C. A. gymnasium
the "Y" representatives carried off team
laurels. and TO do so they had to defeat
the champion indoor West Branch and
the Central gladIators. This defeat OF
the two Philadelphia leaders was a great
surprise.

Strike-Breaking an Exciting
Profession

Would you think that a man who pos
sessed stocks and bonds to the amount OF
$4,000 would take chances driving trolley
Car through mobs of angry mineworkers
armed with stones and clubs? The business
OF strike-breaking has come to be a pro
fession,"' and many of those who follow it are
often men of more than average intelligence
and means. In Wilkes-Barre right now
regiment of these industrial rovers is engaged
in filling the gap left by the strikers. These
men drew pay from the Standard Oil Com
pany, at Bayonne, N. j.; they filled in at the

all the big strikes of the past few years

Wagner's Ambition

Wagner, as we understand IT, has this
ambition-to swing on four more years
until he is 45-to play in 5000 games and
to make 1000 hits. At first notice this
seems to be beyond all logic 1t is be-
yond probability-but. after all, not i'm.
possible.
wagner this last season In his list year
played through l56 games, not missing u
battle. He led the shortstops in fielding
and ranked second among the shortstops
of his league in batting.
He was not quite the Wagner of 10
years ago. but he was still far from be-
ing through. Three more seasons will
put him over the 2OOO-gamc mark, but
there Is little chance that he will evoi
make the 1875 base hits necessary to COM
plete i0OO-hit total. 1t would be beyond
all reason IL Wagner wasn't Wagner

ElGHTEEN years ago this winter-De-
Lcember 1S97-an alert baseball stat
istcinn delivered this message to the
Bug Caravansarie of his day:
Three worlds records were made this
past season that will never again be
broken. They were made by Pop Anson,
who concluded his 22d year in big league
baseball; who completed his string of
225O games. and who in that time made
3O13 base hits Twenty-Five years, 22jO
games and 3Ol3 base hits will stand as
mark for all time.
"All Time" Is a Long Time
"All time" is what YOU might call a
considerable period. 1t covers quite a
temporal stretch.
Yet at tnat the baseball statistician of
1897 seemed to be justified Old Cap had
started his big league career in 1876. In
1897 he was still playing-or. rather, had
just completed his 22-year career
Twenty-Five years under the Rig Tent
is an extended interval of play. Two
thousand two hundred and fifty games
are quite a number Three thousand and
thirteen base hits are more than n few.
And yet. of the three record estimates
made by the old-timc reporter but one
has stood the test of time.
with the exception of Cy Young, n
pitcher who worked in less than thou
sand games, no other ball player has re-
manned for over 20 years in the Main
Corral of Play. member in the major
order of Sons of Swat. Here Anson Is
still king.
The Other Two Records
But the other two records of games
played and base hits have been broken
In two places.
When the old-tlme writer was compiling
his data IS years ago there were two
youngsters just beginning to attract no.
tice. One was a Dutchman by the name
of John Peter Wagner. The other was
a Frenchman by the name of Napoleon
Lajoie.
Like Anson, both were of massive build,
powerful above the ordinary and nodded
for long span of play.
New Marks
Both were just starting about the time.
And this last season both slipped by the
marks Old Cap made, with Wagner out
in the lead.
At the end Of the campaign of 1915
Wagner had rounded out 25Ss games and
3265 hits. Lajoic had finished 1858 games
and made 1921 hits.
When leaves their ranking as below:
