Portland, Ore, April S.-Wrestling
fans we're somewhat disappointed today
at the outcome of the alleged "grudge
match" between Frank Vance of Seat

his smaller opponent and Referee Mike
Butler awarded him the first fall over
the protest of O'Connell, who said
Vance couldn t hurt him with the hold.
Again they wrestled for } minutes.
Then it was midnight, and they quit in
accordance with previoos agreement.

The Pitching Records of Decade

The value of pitching to a team has
been variously estimated as from 40 to
70 per cent of its defensive strength.
Whatever it may be, there is no ques-
tion that the twirler is the most val
uable man of the nine, and usually the
one who looms largest in the public
eye.
From the days of Aristotle to those
of Charley Van Loan, figures were con
sidered impeceable, and even yet some
benighted business man drools forth the
bromide that "figures never lie" They
do in baseball, though. No one believes
that fielding averages nearly approx
mate the fielder's skill, and even bat
ting averages are deceiving. But the
following statistics really tell true
story.
A pitcher may win 20 games in a sea
son because he has an extraordinarily
strong team behind him, and because
his opponents were hand picked for the
slaughter. Over a term of years, how
ever, this would not hold true, and
will be noticed that the greatest pitch
ers in the game monopolize the glory il
the records of the past decade.
There have only been five mounds
men continually in service from 1906 to
1915, inclusive. Their records follow:

MANY WARSH|Ps IN
 NEED IF REPAIRS
SECRETARY DANIELS ASKS CON- GRESS FOR EMERGENCY
 APPROPRIATION.
SAYS MANY MINES NEEDED
1t Is Claimed This Mode of Warfare Has Attained Such Importance In European Struggle, Supply
 Should Be Increased.

Washington.-A $2,757,O00 emergen- cy appropriation for repairs to ma chinery in battleships, torpedo de- stroyers and submarines, to add to the supply of mines and for the first time to equip battleships with anti-aircraft guns, was asked of Congress by Sec retary Daniels.
 Many of our destroyers have reached an age where renewals of ex- tensive portions of their machinery equipment is necessary" Secretary Daniels said. ''The same is true of submarines, both classes of vessels making big drain on this years ap. propriation."
 The boilers of the battleshfps Georgia and Virginia, both of which have been in almost constant service for 10 years, have shown such weak ness, MT. Daniels said, as to require that these vessels be withdrawn from active service to have their boilers re- placed.
 The estimates were referred to the appropriations committee for inclu- sion in the urgent deficiency bill.
 "The largest single item under the bureau of ordnance is for mines," Sec retary Daniels said. Mining has at- tained in the existence of war abroad such importance as to point strongly to the advisability of increasing the provision for this method of defense."
 Other items are engineerjnp S9OO- 900; construction and repairs, S680,- 900; contingent expenses, $S5,000; maintenance yards and docks, $52,000, and repairs, $45,000.
 The communications dismissed the anti-aircraft gun situation with the statement that the United States has none in it's service.
