At LAST
HIT BASEBALL ROCKS

A meeting Of the Atlantic Baseball
League was to have been held at
Easton, Pa, last night, but owing to
the disbanding OF the Reading team
after the game Sunday at Allentown
the meeting was not held and the
league has suspended operations for
the time being at least
Wilmington was the first city of
the circuit to experience insur-
mountable trouble and the team was
kept on the road in vain hopes of
rehabilitation Of the CLUB. Then AL
Lawson bolted Reading, leaving that
club high and dry. A coteiie Of
business men rushed to the rescue.
Next the Pottsville team threw up
the sponge and then it was decided
TO cut the league down to fou, clubs,
Reading, Easton, Paterson aud Allen
town.
AS the Reading team experienced
Giiliculties and disbanded. the other
clubs decided that efforts made 20
continue at this time woull be use
less. The very unseasonab's wealth
er and many rainy days Is ascrihed
as the reason for the leagues fail
ure. No plans have yet BEEN made
for a revival OF the league.

Louisville Club, With 26 Defeats,
Holds Big League Losing Record

There is one baseball record that
no club is anxious to overtuin. and
which everybody concerned will be
glad to let stand until the end Of time.
That is the record for consecutive de-
feats, hung up in 1889 by the Louis
vile Club Of the old major league.
American Association On June %.
1889, just p years ago today, the fans
of the Kentucky metropolis broke out
in wild enthusiasm. for the Colonels
on that day defeated the st. Louis
by a score OF seven to three, and thus
put an end to the worst losing streak
the game has ever known. Up to the
time Of the victory over st. Louis, the
Colonels had lost 26 games in row.
and the few wavering supporters of
the club were on the verge Of aban-
doning all hope that the team would
ever win a game.
The dubious feat of the Louisville
club remains, and may always re-
main, the major league record Only
once has it been equalled in a minor
league, and it has never been sur
passed in any professional circuit In
1918 the Meridian, Miss. club of the
Cotton States League was nicked for
! &c consecutive wallops, and had the
worlds record in sight when the team
fell down and won a game.
The record losing streak in the Ma
tional League was pulled off in 1890,
the year of the Brotherhood war
when the Pittsburgh club dropped %
games in a row. The whole bunch of
Smoky City players went over to the
Players League. and Guy Hecker, the
new manager. had to build pract'-
cally new team, getting his material
where he could The outlook seemed
hopeless, and the club was always on
the verge OF bankruptcy, but the i'm
perturbable and picturesque j. Pal
mer O'Neil managed to keep it afloat
and retain the franchise for the
Smoky City. After the long losing
streak the fans deserted the sink
ing ship and gave their support to the
Players League team, which included
most Of the old Pittsburgh favorites.
/ Games were trnsferred TO other cities
and even to neighboring towns in
! PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio and West Vir-
ginia The club also set up another
record that gear by losing three games
in a day. During the season Pitts
burgh had so players on its roll at
one time or another. 10 of them beirS
pitchers. The club lost 113 games in
the year
The American League losing streak
record of 90 games was set up by
Boston in 1906. Jimmy Collins. who
managed the Red Sox from the first
and who had kept the club in the
I first division and won two pennants
prior to the fatal year. was charged
] by the Boston fans with neglecting
his duties, and the veterans of the
outfit seemed to go all to pieces. As
a result. Boston not only suffered the
I disgrace Of setting an American
League record for consecutive de-

Alexander bids fair to again lead Ma
tional League fingers this year Just as
he did in 1915, when he allowed an aver
age of l.22 earned runs PEI game. Alex
to date has won 10 games and lost three,
for a percentage of 500. This is step
ping along at a pace many points ahead
Of his team. Last season he won 81 and
lost 10.
In l3l 2-S innings to date the star OF
the Philies has been scored upon %
times. which is an average of LII runs
per nine-inning battle. He has been hit
harder this season than in 1918. Last
season he allowed 253 hits in 376 in
nings, while to date he has granted only
100 swats.
Brooklyn has beaten Alex twice this
season, while he has lost once to New
York. Six of his contests have been
shutouts. This is half as many as he
pitched in 1918. His record to date:

HOLLAND DOING EVERYTHING
POSSIBLE TO ASCERTAIN THE
CAUSE OF SINKING TUBANT|A

The Hague via Londonl, March =. =
Nothing definite has Vet been ascertain
ed concerning the sinking of the steamer
Tubantia,'' said Minister of Marine Ram
bonnet to The Associated Press today,
but nothing will be left undone by our
department TO try to establish with GER
tainty the cause of the disaster
The ship lies with the hole upward,
which is a favorable circumstance FOR
diving operations. The pieces Of metal
found in the Tubantia's lifeboats are
being carefully tested at the torpedo
school in Amsterdam. The rumor that
it has been definitely established that
they were pieces OF a torpedo Is u:-
founded.
The minister added that from the Ger
man official declaration it was impossible
to believe that the sinking OF the steamer
was done by order of the German ad-
miralty. If German submarine was
the culprit. the only explanation was that
the commander exceeded in his instruc-
tions or lost his head. The minister did
not seem to regard the declaration Of
