TURKS DRAGGED
INTO THE WAR

ST. CLOUD, MIMI, May 20.-Miss
Herignaz, a young woman who re-
Gently was sent to st. Cloud by mis-
sionary and is attending the normal
school here, says that no one in Tur-
key wished the present war except q
few officers, and that it is bringing
nothing but starvation and misery to
the people.
In her own district, men were liter
ally dragged from the harvest fields
and forced into the army, she says,
and the half of the crop that was har-
vested was seized for the army. -.
Some women and children already
have died Of starvation, and smallpox
and typhus fever have added to the
long death list. Many more will die
before the close Of the year, her par.
ents write her. because no grain was
left for seed this spring.

MATTY STILL
HOLDS RECORD
OF GAMES Won
big Six" Has Been Victorious
In Twenty Or More Games
for PastTWelve Years.

Christy Mathewson's stock needs no
boosting, but it takes further jump
when the past performance sheets
from 1905 to 1914 are consulted, these
showing that annually Matty has
turned in twenty or more victories for
John J. McGraw, "Big Six" did not
wait until the earlier named year to
acquire the habit of getting by the
one score mark in wins, but the fig
ures from 1905 on were taken for the
reason that ten-year result could be
obtained.
His Great Record.
Matty now has won twenty or more
games for twelve consecutive years.
In ten seasons in the American and
National leagues and one in the Fed
eral league, seventy three pitchers
have managed to win twenty or more
games during one or more campaigns.
Three men-Walter Johnson, Morde-
cal Brown and George Joseph Mullin
turned the trick five times, and the
first named may possibly equal Math-
ewson's record. Vic Willis, Addie
Joss, Eddie Plank and Ed Walsh, be-
tween 1905 and 1914, figured on the
pitchers honorary list four times,
while men who have been on it thrice
are Larry Cheney, Howard Camnitz,
Rube Marquard, Grover Cleveland, AL
exander, Vean Gregg, Frank Smith,
Russell Ford and Jack Coombs.
On the honor list of the seventy
three successful statesmen are nine
teen left-handers, those still in major
league captivity being Marquard,
Gregg, Packard Rucker, Hess, Cova-
leski, Russell and Collins. Plank is
with the Federals. In the last ten
years the greatest number Of tri-
umphs registered by port-sider in a
season is twenty-seven. RUDE Wad-
dell got this mark in 1905, when the
White Elephants won their second
banner, and Guy Harris White Of the
White Sox equalled it two years later.
The Giants in the National and the
White Sox in the American have led
the greatest number of consistent slab
winners. In ten seasons twenty of
McGraw's moundsmen have won twen-
ty or more games for him, while in
Chicago, Comiskey has paid salaries
to fourteen athletes who have shone
i similarly.
In the Thirty Game Class.
Records of the last ten years show
that Mathewson in the National and
| Walsh, Johnson, Coombs and Wood in
the American league are the only men
who have succeeded in winning thirty
! or more games in a year.
Ed Walsh of the White Sox had
forty victories to his credit in 1908.

LAWN TENNIS AS
SlSSFlED GAME

A recent remark quoted from Rev.
Billy Sunday was to the effect that
lawn tennis is a little too "sissified"
a game to please him. If Billy were
to start in playing it this spring, he
than he ever got on the ball field.
Lawn tennis constantly grows in
popularity, owing to its adaptability
to limited spaces. 1t requires no cost
ly grounds, running into the thous-
ands or tens of thousands, life golf.
The ordinary suburban back yard is
apt to be big enough. While a good
court may cost hundred or two dol
lars or more, an inexpensive layout
can be had for much less. So although
it used to be called the dude game"
it has the qualities of very demo-
cratic sport.
The real objection to lawn tennis is
quite the opposite of that stated by
Billy Sunday. 1t is so very active
that few men play it after they have
reached middle age. The long rallies,
when a ball is kept see-sawing back
and forth over the net into different
corners Of the court, will run the
reath out of any man but man who
we'll in training.
1t is more fatiguing than running on
straight track would be. The play
er must first sprint in one direction,
then pull himself up, recover balance
and run back again. The irregular
and intense activity calls for a high
degree of nervous control and muscu-
lar endurance.
No game is more practical for phys
ical development of young people.
Played in groups Of two, three or four
people, it calls for no elaborate ma
chinery Of organization. The athletic
candidates that are disheartened by
rejection from a school or college ball
team can resort to the tennis court,
and get better physical development
than they would have secured on the
diamond. In most schools the num-
Der of tennis players is usually linn
tied only by the number Of courts,
which are commonly too few. Prob
ably the time will come when tennis
will be the usual outdoor adjunct to
public schools.
