New York July 24-Baseban play in the major and minor leagues this season has been productive of a mum ber of unusual performances, some of which have established records or surpIanted those existing for some years. They include almost every department of the game and at the rate they are piling up, 1915 is likely to be rememberd as the year of odd features.
 In the Pacific Coast league Jack Ness, first baseman of the Oakland team, batted safely in forty one con secutive games for a total of seventy hits, breaking Ty Cobb record of one or more hits in forty straight games. made in 1911. Previous to Cobbs advent the record was held by Hal Chase. who in 1907 fbatted safely in twenty seven consecutive contests. The same year that Cobb was hitting so consistently, Otis Clyner was es- tablishing the minor league record for safe hitting in twenty-five straight games.

 In 1910 Chicago faced both Keio and Waseda in a series of six games for the cham pionship of the Far East and won all six, although forced to go ten innings in two of the contests.
 Following this series the American

 The following year waseda made al tour of the United States, playing about fifty games against college and amateur club teams.

 What the Harvard rowing author ities must now consider is the ques- tion whether the style of rowing prac- ticed in Cambridge has faults which put it at disadvantage in compari- son with the stroke that Nicka11s has developed at Yale. Discussion on this point will doubtless be long and confusing. The record of the liar yard university crew in it's races with Yale since Wray began to coach in Cambridge has some bearing on the problem.
