Rector Anxious to
 Meet McAuliffe in
 Ring at New Haven

Young Rector wants another match with McAuliffe as the following letter from Manager DeLorme shows:
 "You are probably wondering at my silence since the last fight between McAuliffe and Rector in Bridgeport and the reason is that I am just about getting over the surprise that Mac slipped me when he got the popular decision over Rector. as I fully ex- pected that the Jerseyite would regis ter a KO. over the Bridgeport boy, and thereby earn himself "a match with Kilbane. but like Hughes, I will concede the defeat.
 "But do you realize that the score stands one-one between the two boys? Am trying to get this match staged in New Haven for 20 rounds to refer ee's decision, and If unsuccessful there am willing to let the Jersey boy meet Mac any place and over any dis tance.
 eff you remember correctly, I was very fair toward Mac in giving him a chance to redeem himself after the first fight with Rector wherein he was defeated. and I sincerely hope that he will return the compliment, and let Rector get one mere crack at him.
 eff McAuliffe will make the match for 128 pounds at 3 o'clock, I will bet $500 even money that Rector knocks him out inside of 20 rounds, and will deposit $100 with any sporting writer in Bridgeport that Mac names, as good faith on the above proposition. One thing is certain, and that is, these boys will always play to a ca pacity house any time they meet. as their last two fights have attested.
 "Now Twill wait with my ear to the ground, and look for some news from the camp of McAuliffe."

New York, Nov. 2S-Ferdie Schupp, the youthful left-hander of the Giants, was the most effective pitcher in the National League last season, accord ing to the official averages compiled by Secretary John A.

The pitchers with the greatestf number of consecutive victories were Rudolph 3, Tesreau [. Cheney 2. Of the 1,5O0 batsmen who faced Alexander only 50 reached first base on balls
 Cheney of Brooklyn was the widest finger in the league with 15 wild pitches. Jeff Pfeffer was also wild in another way, for he hit 17 fbatsmen. Alexander allowed the greatest num- ber of base hits, 323. Hughes was the only pitcher to get no-hit game when he pitched against Pittsburgh on June 16. Alexander led with the number of strike-outs, 167.
 Heinie Groh of Cincinnati was the best waiter in the league and got 84 passes. Benny Kauff of the Giants got 6S. Lee Meadows of St. Louis had great control during the season and didn't give any bases on balls. Of the first ten pitchers in the league Bos- ton and Brooklyn had three each, the PhiIlies two, and the Giants and Pi- rates one each They are Schupp. Alexander, Marquard. Rixey, Cooper.

Better Than No Anchor

From the Newport Express and Standard
Referring to the Page Senatorship, it
has been limited there is great unrest in
the political atmosphere. That man
citizens and newspapers are DESTROYS OF
a change almost determined, as it were
that new candidate shallrise up against
Page. In tracing out the source of this
unrest it all seems emsnate from the ad.
herents of the Allen NJ. Fletcher's candi
dacy. Indeed the ex- Governor himself

didacy makes a handle of tito strengthen
his cause. OF course a puff of wind from
any source will cause a ripple, but a rip
pie is not a gale. Neither do we think
this ripple will become a gale. While a
state wide test vote may not be a safe
anchor to tie to, the one conducted by
the Vermont Union-Journal in Pages be-
half wonld prove it far better than no
anchor at all. At least it will hold the
Page boat against a stronger opposition
ripple than is now being waited over the
state.
