Hopper. For Gallia, Griffith traded
Vaughn and Walker and he figures
that il was So, 900 transac elton. .Ayres
was bought from the Richmond club
for the surprisingly low price Of $500.
Tommy Long, the outfielder. was trad
ed for Hooper. and $1,000 was spent in
securing Long. Therefore il viii be
seen that the pitching staff OF the
Washington baseball club cost but
$780, and you could not buy one who
was on last years team for this
amount.
Has Great Staff
When Griffith said that ~ had the
greatest pitching staff in the business
he hit the nail squarely on the head.
Griff has five left handlers, three Of
which are bound TO win a lot Of ball
games this season. They are Bentley,
BOehliug and Harper. He has Thor
mahlen. who gives every promise OF
becoming a star. and young Clarke
who although still green. may make a
GOOD slabbist when he gains more eX-
perieuce- tt IS the most promising
southpaw quintet in major league
baseball
Shaw. Ayres. Engel and Gallia are all
good pitchers and above the average
Besides costing a club less than any
I'm the business and being worth more.
these pitchers i'm the matter of age av-
erage less than those on any other club.
Several OF them have not passed the
minority mark. and Johnson. although
considered a veteran, is still a YOUNG
man.

Crack Splinter Believes 100
Yard Time VIII Stay
as It Now Is.

Philadelphia. Pa. April 1T.-Donald

University OF Pennsylvania oeneSes
the present 100 yard record Of 50
seconds will never be beaten, but the
time for the 220 and 40 yard dashes
viii some day be bettered- He outlined
When the Amateur Athletic union
was formed in 1SSS and the records
were placed on the books OF the assO-
citation. the first one 10 be put down
was the 100 yard mark At that time
the fastest century run in the course
Of that year was by +. WestinE, who
ran the fun distance in 9 As seconds
This time was not even equaled until
1895, when 3. J. Wefers did the same
time. repeating the performance in the
following year In 1897 J. May bury
and Wefers were credited with g As
seconds. and j. II Rush equaled this
eQualed again until 1902. when W A
Sheck OF Harvard did the distance IN
the same time c. Blair, W D. Eaton
and c. L. Parsons all did 40 seconds
in the following three years
Kelly Broke Record.
The next gear provided the big sur
prise, and the sporting world was as
rOHished when IL was announced that
the 100 yard record had been broken.
IL was believed that no man could move
fast enough 20 be able to better 9 40
seconds However, III 1906, D. J. Kelly
succeeded in doing this. and ran 100
stood since 1906. although many times
slce there have been rumOrs OF men
having eQualed this record However.
there always has been some mistake,
either a short track or not enough
watches or some other reason. and
there has been no other record &C
cepted for this distance
Equaled W GRID Record.
Last spring. however. another world
besJer came 70 light At a meet at
Berkeley. Calf, on March IS, 1914
Howard p. Drew Of the University OF
southern California equaled the record
Of Q So seconds held by Kelly. This
record was finally accepted by the
Amateur Athletic union and at the
present time Kelly and Drew are the
only two record holders on the books
for this distance
The 220 yard dash presents a slight
y different aspect. and seems TO me
60 be just where the 100 yard record
was before it was broken for the last
time Starting with 1855. W Baker
was the first TO run the distance in
-evens-iu other words. - seconds
This was not touched until 1892. when
a. Jewe-t ran it in 81 SIS seconds This
record remained on the books until
1896, the second year that Mefers ran
IS for the hundred He also
smashed the record for 221 yards and
ran the distance in q Is seconds The
RECORD has stood since then, but has
been equaled six times-twice by Ralph
CraiE-so that at the present time the
record is held jointly by six men,
