New York, Oct. 26.-Times certain
~ have changed. Not so long ago it
was the pride Of a prize fighter to
show the scars Of hard-fought battles,
Now, if we are to take the Hen. Mn
Battling Nelson a. = criterion, scars
are in very bad taste. It is even with
in the recollection Of the present
scribe when Bat gloried in his battle
marks. He was delighted when they
called him de battlsr," and each
change Vt hts physiognomy, each cut,
each bump, and each mangled ear
pleased him, for they were all allied
ia make him appear q. he wished to
appear--a fighter. And now they say
Nelson has engaged beauty special
lists to undo the work Of twenty years.
Isn't it strange that SO many clever
men have beaten countenances? May
be that is why they became clever.
Look at Abe Attell, Ted Lewis, Young.

MANY FREAK RECORDS IN 191,

Numerous Runs, Hits, Times at Bat
and Other Oddities.
New York, Oct. 25.-The baseball
season Of 1916, notable for the mum.
Der of unusual features in major
league pennant play, developed a
number Of games in which heavy hit
ting, run-scoring and base-stealing
were prominent features. A careful
scrutiny Of the box scores for the en-
tire period discloses cluster Of odd
records that might also be termed
freaks Of big league baseball play.
The American League statistics
show that during the season every
club in the organization figured in at
least one game in which the times at
bat numbered more than 40, runs
equaled or exceeded 10, hits Is and
stolen bases five. In the National
League the highest at bats ranged
from 40 to 81, runs 10 to 10, hits IL
to 20 and stolen bases s to II.
Figures indicate that the Boston
Red Sox led the American League,
with 81 times at bat, while Chicago
was second, with 50, and st. Louis
third, with 81. The New York Annex
leans made the greatest Rsmhsr of
runs in any 9as game, accommodating
10, wAils Rsatsn and Detroit were tied
fsf second place in this respect, with
II. The Chicago White Sox won first
place in hitting, with 20, while the
Detroit and New York clubs divided
second hhcn!sgs with A. Boston, Cleve-
land Washington and Philadelphia
all hammered out II hits in at leAst
ene game during The peAnant race. In

one contest, while St. Louis and De-
troit were tied for second place, with
eight each.
In the National League the Chicago
Cubs took first place in times at bat
in one game with 81. Pittsburg was
second with 81 and Brooklyn third
with So. New York and Brooklyn were
tied in the greatest number of runs,
each scoring 13, and it is of interest
to note that the Giants. record score
in this respect was made against
Pittsburg in the opening game of the
string of II victories which the club
piled up early in the season and pre-
vious to its fecord-breaking run Of 26
games. Cincinnati was next, with 12
runs.
In hitting, st. Louis came first with
% safe drives, Brooklyn second with
Fl and New York and Cincinnati tied
for third place with 10. St. Louis
easily led the National League in the
number of stolen bases in one game,
having collected II, while New. York
and Brooklyn qualified for second
place with seven each, Boston, and
Pittsburg being third with six
The following computations show the
greatest number Of at bats, runs, hits

OBITUARY
James Lewis Robinson

James Lewis Robinson. second son
of Wilmarth and Phoebe Eddy Robin
son, was born in Mendon, VT, January
20, 1889. When five years of age his
family came to Dorset, and he grew
up on the farm that has been his home
for so many years, living there until
his death.
On October %, 1866, he was married
to Alice Towsley of Dorset by Rev.
Dr. Pratt and they had three children,
all of whom are living. Mr.. and Mrs.
Robinson's lives were no different
from the lives of others living in a
country place, and as the years passed
they filled their little niche in life with
energy and courage commanding the
respect and warm friendship of the
entire community.
When the Civil War broke out, Mr..
Robinson enlisted and served with
honor to the end Of the conflict. Be
low is a record of his services for his
country and his flag.
As a neighbor and friend Mr. Robin
son was a man who always had kind
and CHEEKY word for those with whom
he came in contact, and for the last
few years he was especially pleased to
have his friends drop in and see him,
as he was more or less an invalid as
the result of injuries received in the
Civil War. "By their works ye shall
know them" is very true saying. So
by his works we shall remember our
friend and neighbor, James Lewis
Robinson, who, last month, was gath
cred to a well earned reward.
War Record of Mr.. Robinson
When % years old Mr.. Robinson en-
listed from Dorset, VT. in Co. H, End

listed in Bennington and drilled there
for awhile, then went to Burlington
and there finished dAling. He was
mustered in by an officer who after
wards deserted and joined the Confed-
crates. He went from Burlington to
Washington, D. c., and drilled on Cap
itol Hill, going from there to Bush
Hill. Va, where the End Vt. received
orders to go to Centerville, and after
a few days was ordered TO Bull Run.
After Bull Run he stayed at Alexan-
dria for a few days and was then
ordered back to Virginia where his
regiment spent the winter Of 1862. |
He left there in the spring of '62 for
the Mcclellan, Pa, campaign. He was
in the battle Of Yorktown, Lees Mills,
and Cold Harbor in this campaign.
