SOME GOOD "wHlFp RECORDS.

THE record of twentyfour strikeouts
 in nine inning game, credited to Pitcher Davis of the KiIleen (Tex.) high school team in a game against Belton, calls to mind other remarkable strikeout records.
 The American league record was made by the late George (Rube) Wad- dell, who famed sixteen in the contest between St. Louis and the Athletics on July 29, 1908.
 Pitcher Daley struck out nineteen in a Union association game between Chi- cago and Boston on July 2, 1884: Tom Ramsey turned seventeen batters back to the bench in an American associa- ton contest between Louisville and Cleveland on June 2, 1887, and this was a remarkable performance as at that time the four strike rule was in ex- istence.
 On Aug. 21, 1909, William Mitchell famed twenty batters in a Texas league game involving San Antonio and Galveston. During the year 1912 Frank Davis of the Knoxville, Ap- palachian league club, and Fred Ap- plegate of the Blue Grass league, also famed twenty batters. A. A. Stagg, now coach of the University of Chica- go. while student at Yale struck out twenty Princeton batters in the Yale- Princeton game of May 26, 1888, and this probably Is the best college record to date.

it has been noticed far too of>en that many who neglect to play in the beaten
 divisions are ready and willing to try for the handicap prize.
 The only solution of the mystery of the many withdrawals must lie in the stigma, however slight, which is mis- takenly supposed to attach itself to a prominent golfer who loses in the beat en division. On the very face of 1t nothing could be more ridiculous, for not only is the second best golfer in the tournament often beaten by the ultimate winner in the first round, but on more than one occasion the best player of them all has been eliminated at the start by a poor round or bad luck. Max Marsten, Gardiner White, John M. Ward and other players of like caliber have not scorned to play, and even lose, in the beaten divisions. Their example should be followed by all the other well known golfers.

800 LETTERS IN SOUTHERN
 LEAGUE,

THE Southern no longer is the pitch
 ers' league it once was. It used to be that a 300 hitter was a rare bird but latest averages show that a score of batters are at that mark or above it now. One wise expert who has fol- lowed the Southern for years says the pitching is worse this year than he has ever known. Other critics alibi the fingers by saying the uncertain wealth CT has prevented them rounding into form. AS a matter of fact, there. are players getting by in the Southern now who were considered dead ones in that circuit several years ago.

absolutely refused to train and passed out of the game without attaining any prominence aside from the fact that they were brothers to the once Terrible Terry.
 Leonards Promising.
 Of the present crop of fighters, aside from the Gibbons and Ertles, the mama of Leonard is most impressive. Benny Leonard, by his great fight against Freddie Welsh, is looked upon as the next lightweight champion. Benny's brother Charley joined the profession al clan only recently and quickly gained la reputation as a knocker out.
 The Moore family of Philadelphia has no less than five fighting boys-Pal, Tommy, Reddy, Willis and Joe In the Cross clan of New York there are Leach, Phil, Dave and Marty. All have earned some money in the ring. Joe Chip and George Chip are both middleweights George having held the championship few years ago.
 In Philadelphia there is Young Jack O'Brien, a brother of the original Phila- delphta Jack, the first light heavy weight champion in the game. The eld- CT Jack retired nearly five years ago. About three years ago he presented his younger brother-about sixteen years younger-to the boxing public. The lad started pronisingly, but was rushed along too fast and received many se- were beatings. He dropped out of the game for a year, and now he is fighting in his old form again.

Dope Wins For Joe SteCher

TOE STECHER, the phenomenal young wrestler, brought from ob- livion by the revival of the mat game, says many of his matches have been won for him by newspapers.
 "On account of the dope written about me I am known as the chap with a wonderful leg scissors hold,' says Stecher. "It has been written that have a squeezing pressure of several thousand pounds in my legs and that the hold I use is deadly. In fact' the leg scissors has become as famous as the Gotch toe hold.
 "Consequently, every wrestler meet is on the lookout for the scissors grip, and he leaves openings for other hoios.
 "I have not used the scissors 1n nall my bouts. I know and use other holds, just like other wrestlers do. Hau the timesI do not have to think about us-

ing the scissors, because my opponent, ln protecting himself from the grip, lets me slam on the half Nelson or some other good hold"
 He is just big boy, only twenty two years of age In street clothes he looks ike schoolboy, but beneath his little checkered cap there Is gray matter. STONE DUST IDEAL FOR COURTS. STONE dust has been found to be the
 ideal surface for hard courts as a result Of the experiments made by a number of lawn tennis clubs in Chi caso. The stone dust was secured from auarrles at the cost of carriage. It is spread three or four inches deep over lhe court. It never cracks. Rain i'm proves 1t, and a court playing surface so treated can be played upon soon aft CT any heavy fall of rain.

TNHEY call Philadelphia the City of
 Brotherly Love. but the author or authors of this tender phrase evidently
 never heard of St. Paul. It is really the latter city which should bear the -aftectlonate title. The reasons are herewith appended:
 St. Paul harbors two pairs of broth CTS who have made their mark in pu- sllsm. One of each pair is generally accredited with being the champion in his respective division, while the other brother of each is close to the top in Tn the same class, and here is where brotherly love comes in The near champion in each instance wishes it to be universally known that his brother is his superior
 The Glbbonses-Mike and Tom and the Ertles-Johnny and Mike-are the lads we have reference to. Mike Gibbons is as close to the middleweight championship as one can be without being the actual champion, but Mi chael insists that Brother Tom is bet ter man than he is.
 ErtIes Case Similar.
 The case of the Ertles is similar, Johnny-nicknamed "Kewpie"-is CO., holder of the worlds bantamweight title by virtue of a victory of foul over Kid Williams, who became the legiti- mate champion by knocking out John ny Coulon, but Johnny "Kewpie" would have it understood that Brother Mike could clean up the bantamweight class | with less difficulty than Johnny him. self could, and Mike Ertle is only a | dyweight; he is top heavy at 1OS | pounds.
 Such is brotherly affection. One | would sacrifice his ring career so the other may succeed. However all four are well established in the ring game, and their earning capacities are in no wise affected because of their rela- tionship.
 Mike and Johnny Boost Brothers.
 Mike Gibbons and Johnny Ertle are engaged in exploiting the prowess of Tom Gibbons .ud Mike Ertle respectfve- ly. Mike Gibbons has assumed the man. agership of Brother Tom, while Johnny lGrtle has undertaken to guide Brother Mike into the championship of which he is joint holder
 Ring history contains the names of many brothers who have earned a livelihood by singing the padded init tens. Of the old timers the name of Atteu stands out promiscuously Abe rttell was featherweight champion, while brothers Monte and Caesar took town occasional purses. All three were ,eatherweights.
 Jim Jeffries, when he was heavy weight champion of the world, had a brother Jack, who aspired to pugilistic lame. Jacks nearest approach to prominence was when he fought Jack Johnson and was knocked out { Jack and Mike ("Twin'D Sullivan } were heavyweights of note in their lime. They were easily identified by heir badness, but they could fight t

Wrestlers' Pay Poor Compared With Boxers

THE difference in dollars and cents
 between boxing and wrestling as vocation is illustrated by the amounts paid to leading boxers and Wrestlers Joe Stecher and Strangler Lewis re- gently wrestled a no fall draw, WHICH consumed five hours of hard work. For their efforts the grapplers each re- ceived $5,022.
