s= SPORTS AND ATHLETICS III II:
JAMES ALMOST BROKE PITCHING RECORD
GOES after PREMIER HONORS IN 1915

The Boston Braves Special Issue of
the Baseball Magazine has a great
story on Pitcher James:
Bill James, though at the age when
most players are lucky to be fairly
started, has proved himself last year
one of the diamonds great natural
pitchers. With superb build for
twirler, immense speed. great
strength and endurance, he blazed his
way to the front on sheer natural
ability. With the further acquisition
of experience he should be one of the
greatest all around pitchers of history.
Some day he may yet break the pitch
ing record which he came SO near
SCATTERING in the season just past.
The batting of Hank Gowdy was
the feature of the series. But the one
game contributed by long Bill James
was the most perfect piece Of twirl-
ing skill seen in a worlds series in
many a day.
lanes needed no grand worlds
series send-off to bring his name be-
fore the public eye, for he had just
completed one of the best seasons a
pitcher ever had. But there Is no dis
counting the fact that his wonderful
feat in holding the redoubtable Ath-
letics to two lean hits in nine innings
would have been counted an unheard
of prodigy but one short year ago.
William James was born in Iowa
Hill, Cal. All his life save that spent
in baseball has been passed in Cali
fornia. In winter he resides most of
the time at Oroville Hill, part of the
time in San Francisco. He is great
hunter and fisherman, a genuine lover
of the open air. A typical athlete, he
is a born pitcher so far as build is con-
cerned, and from what he has already
accomplished in that line there is no
doubt that his vocation has been well
chosen.
His first play for money was with
the Hammonton team managed by
Emmett Schofield, who used to be a
member of the Seattle club. Through
the advice of his manager, James sign
ed with Seattle while still in his
teens, though the influence OF his
family prevented him from reporting
till year after. They were set
against baseball, as they had quite
different career in view for him. And
for a year their influence was strong
enough to overcome the lure of the
diamond In the end, however, base
ball triumphed and James went to
Seattle.
This was in 1912, and he had
grand record on his first appearance.
Among other notable achievements he
won sixteen straight games. He had
remarkable speed but, as he himself
admits, but little else.
Nineteen hundred and fourteen
found him in fine shape, a rejuv enated
team behind him, the best of manage
ment, and the rest is history. How
James burned through the circuit
with his two great teammates, Ru-
dolph and Tyler, has been written in
indelible character in the annals of
the season just passed. But great Is
was his record there was one feature
of it that couldn't help but prove dis
appointing to the great pitcher.

"The principle of such exchanges
has been recognised In this country
ever since 1890 when Ohio passed the
hrst American employment bureau
law. But we never have got much be
yond the principle. Highbrow reform
ers have demonstrated most learnedly
that the principle is right. and imme-
diately afterwards have gone to sleep,
Or, IL they were a little more ener.
getic, they have raised Cain until an

gone TO sleep.
"The result Is that while we have
employment bureaus In 20 cities and
rs states OF the union today, most OF
them are inefiicient. They are run by
politicians. and, because the business
Of running employment agencies has
earned a bad name, they generally are
run by cheap politicians; they do not
work together; and both employers
and organized labor suspect their
good faith.
THE time has come when We must

Briefly, the details Of the plan
which the commission 10 working on
are as follows: The creation OF an
employment bureau In connection
with the federal department of labor
which will unite all municipal. county
and state labor exchanges in the coun-
try, and which will regulate all pri-
vate employment agencies.
''The bureau to be in charge Of a
director appointed by the president.
He and every other employs Of the
bureau will be assisted by q council
OF 10 Representatives of employers
and 10 representatives of labor. This
council will be appointed by the presi
dent. and, with the aid Of the civil
service hoard, will conduct oral exam
nations Of all applicants for positions
In the bureau. Thus the only success
full applicants will be men who have
satisfied both organized labor and or
ganized employers OF their fitness for
the work"
