OLD-TIMERS HAD STAMINA
Pitchers Of Long Ago Won Fifty
Games in Season, Now Don't
Even Pitch that Many.
spALDING HOLDS THE RECORD

NEW YORK, April lo-These days n
hurler who pitches fifty games or part
games OF base ball In one season is
looked upon as wonder and is called
everything from an iron man 20 regular
horse for work. and at that the hurler
who Eets In fifty games Is a very rare
bird. Back In the sos fifty games per
season was considered comfortable
amount Of work tor the average hurlor,
but when Il comes to winning fifty fuli
games Of big league base ball In one
season, then the hurier is touching the
miraculous. Base ball 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 Ia
NOUS A. @. spaiding, the greatest hurler
In his day. and the many records he
created stand up TO the present time as
the best. OF course, spaiding's work was
pulled off under different conditions than
exist today but even at that his pitching
was wonderful.
IL was in 1876 that A. o. spaldlng made
his great record in games won. During
that season he pitched sixty-thrce full
games and won fifty-six Of them, per-
centage OF $50, the highest average In
games won in the history OF the game.
During the season OF 1884 Charles Rad
bourne for Providence, then in the Ma
tional league, pitched seventy-one games
of base ball, winning fifty-seven OF them.
This lie the greatest number Of games
won In a single season In the history OF
major league base ball. Guy Hecker, an
other famous hurler OF the old school
and the star of the Louisville club back
in 1884, pitched seventy-one games that
season and won an even fifty Of them.
Heeker performed in wonderful man
ner that year. He whitfield seventeen men
IN a regular nlne-inniBg contest and he
lost Il at that. He also had winning
streak wherein he won thirteen consecu-
tive victories. and during the time Hecker
was swatting the ball at clip better
than 800. for the big star was real bats
man. How much would hurler Of Heck
ers ability bring on the market today!

Der OF the Philadelphia Americans. and
John Evers. the famous second baseman
OF the Boston Nationals. For five years

takes all these instruments TO catch fish.
Graft, on the other hand, calls Herring

hook are good enough for him. While
Herring goes through the maneuvers OF

before. After Herring explains and ex-
postulates, bringing into play all hts legal

NEW YORK. April 1o--The statement

reasons. The first Is that the Frisco
track win be seconds faster than the
running track at Franklin Field, Phlladel-
phia, where the inter-collegiate games
are 10 be held on May %. The second Is
that in the half-mile championship at the

TWO DAYS OF RACING cARDED

PHILADELPHIA, April io.--The Penn
sylvRnia relay management lie finding diff
ficulty this year In making room for the
large number Of extra colleges and
schools that have entered for the various
events In the big meets to be held this
month. II was thought that In the first
year OF a two days meet the programs
for the two days would be rather slim,
but the contrary Is now sure TO be the
case. This II shown by the fact that It
will be necessary 10 start Saturday 8
meet at i:aO p. M, instead OF 2 o'clock, as
originally planned, The large number Of
high school entries Is mainly responsible
for this over 100 high schools have sig
nified their intention OF being on hand
and they have been put into thirteen
class events, which OF themselves will
take an hour and half 70 run off.
The responses from the colleges this
year has been unprecedented. Not only
will the relay championships be more
representative than ever. but all the spe-
cial events will be filled with the highest
class athletes In tho American colleges.
There is not single event, with the
possible exception OF the 100 yards, In
which the worlds record may not be
broken. This fact speaks volumes for the
high standard that may be expected from
these events.

FARMING PAYS
IN NEVADA

Nevada as an agricultural state may
sadly lack in quantity, but in the mat
ter of quality she ranks above compel
ing commonwealth. Fair comparison
may be made with Utah, where some
what similar soil and climatic condi-
tions exist and where like crops are
produced. The crop report on these
two states issued by the government
for 1914 evidences that the grade of
products Of Nevada is superior to that
of Utah, judging from the prices re-
ceived in market competition. Some
examples may be cited.
Nevada farmers secured more fer
their products in 1914 and up to May
] this year, than did Utah producers,
according to the crop report of the
government, showing the statistics of
