GrantIand Rice Tells
Of Great Pitching Year
Big Pitching Years


what is considered a big average
number Of games for pitcher to work
in through a season." queries II. C. F..
Rounding up an average is no simple
task, but the high run seasons of lead
ing pitchers might offer some line on
the subject, says Grantland Rice, the
sport wrse:.
Matthewson S hardest season was in
lGtS, vi ell he took part in 90 2rnes
His next fattest campaign was in 1914,
when he took part in 4S games. Math-
eNton has pitched ir 40 games or more
in nine of his 16 seasons.s
Ed Walsh was the long-distance king
of them all. In 1908 Walsh took active
part in sc games, nearly half the bat
ties fought 1t is noteworthy that in
1905, the two years Matty and Walsh
and White Sox were both beaten out
of the pennant by one game. In 1911
Walsh took part in SO games and he
toiled in 81 eames in 1912. Nc wonder
he passed out as star before his
prime was over. They pitched his arm
off and his heart out because he was
willing to shoulder the burden.
Walter johnson s two tough seasons
were 30 games in 1912 and 81 games
in 1914. Johnson has pitched in 40
games or more every season since 1908.
Alexander s big year was last season,
when he worked in 40 games. Big
Alex has worked in from 46 to 40
games each year he has been with
the Philies, showing the general con-
sistency of his endurance.
Larry Cheney worked in "a games
for the Cubs in 1916 and 30 games in
1915
In discussing pitchers the wonder
work Of Eddie Plank should not be
forgotten. Plank has never been call
ed upon to carry the burdens that
Walsh, Mathewson and johnson have
carried-but the remarkable part is
that at Al he is as effective as he was
at 25 Plank and Cy Young are the on

OVER 2oooo,ooo PAIRS OF
 ARMY BOOTS AND SHOES
Supplied by British Manufacturers to
 Armies of Entente Allegiance.

London. May 19.-Over 0,oOO, 900 pairs of army boots and shoes have been made and supplied up to April 1 by British manufacturers to the active forces of Great Britain, France, Rus sia, Italy and Serbia since the begin ming of the war. Besides this vast quantity, several million pairs had been made for the home defense forces of the British Isles.
 Last month another order for :, 3,000,- 900 pairs was given in England by the Russian government, and contracts for Portugal, the latest entente ally, and other friends of the western powers are coming in daily.
 According to the director of the army clothing department, the resources of the British shoe trade are being en- pIoyed almost to the utmost capacity, but the products of the factories are at the same time giving general satis- faction.
 Shoe manufacturers engaged on the contracts explained to The Associated Press that the official control exercised over the delivered shoes ensured full value being given for the money spent by the various governments. Nothing but the best leather may be used and the workmanship must be unimpeach- able, while vouchers detailing the ac- tual cost of the materials must be kept at each factory, in order that the man. ufacturer may be kept within the bounds of a fair profit on his con tracts.
 The shoes supplied for the British troops vary in size from No. 5 to No. 12, while many different shapes are provided, according to the service for which they are required The ordinary infantry laced butcher is naturally the most in demand. but tens of thousands of Wellington high boots for cavalry and artillery also have been called for.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-05-20

The ayiators, too, have special kind of high boots, and the sailors of the fleet high boots of differing shapes, willie brogues, or low marching shoes, are worn by the kilted regiments and sandals by some of the Indian troops.
 As general rule there are 36 pieces of leather used in the putting together of regulation infantry laced shoe and to complete it's manufacture eS pro- cesses are necessary.
 Manufacturers here confess that to the United States belongs the credi' Unwiilingly, it is true, of making it possible for the British trade to meet the great calls on its resources. Just 20 years ago there was an American invasion into the shoe trade of Britain and the competition was at once so successful that British manufacturers were compelled in their own defense to adept the new American ideas or go out of business altogether. The Brit ish shoemakers quickly abandoned their conservative methods, introduced American machinery and system and soon virtually drove the American in- vaders out of the market.
 At the present moment the trade is so busily engaged on military work that the private customer has to suf- fer and the prices of shoes for civilians has been advanced at least 30 per cent since hostilities began.
