RECORDS OF
 GREAT CATCHERS

It was thirty-two years ago to-day on Sept 26, 1884, that Charley Ben- nett set up a catching record of 23 chances7 accepted in "a nine inning game-a record that has stood through all thef years. Bennett was then the backstop of the Detroit Ma tionals. His record stands without an equal in professional baseball, all though Fred Tenny, Brown Univer- sity catcher. had twenty+three put outs to his credit in game played in 1S91.t Sa 'ei
 Charley Bennett the holder of the putout record for backstops ,in a sim gle. game, broke into the National League with Milwaukee in 1878, which was the first and last year the Foam City was represented in the old major circuit Later he backstopped for Worcester, and in 1881 joined Detroit. He remained with the Michigan me- tropolis,. until. the. .sclose of the 1888 seasons when Detroit was dismissed from the National League. Bennett then went to Boston along with Char ley Ganzel, another great backsupp of the Detroit aggre egatioD, Dan Brdu- thers and IIardie Richardson. Ben nett was one of the four players who remained loyal to the National Lea que during the Brotherhood uprising of Il S90, and he remained on the IIup payroll until 1894.
 The record for chances accepted by a catcher in a full season was set up in the majors in 1909 by Charles S. Street of the Washington Americans Gabby's figure was 924 chances in 137 games. The Minor league record was established in 1907 by Catcher Kearns of the Dallas club of the Tex as League, who, in 123 games, was credited with 845 putouts and 139 as- sists, total of 9S4 chances. Noyce of the Hutchinson Kan, club of the Western Association, set up ten years ago a record of 243 assists in 116 games. .fl
 In the matter of catching consecu- tive games, George Gibson of the Pi- rates hung up a strong of 140 in 1908, which stands as the record in the ma jors Gibson beat the previous rec ord hung up by Jim Mcclure of nhe Washingtons, which was 133. The minor circuits have produced more du- rable backstops even than Gibson, and the high figure of 155 consecutive games faught was established by Hen ry Cote, of the Grand Rapids, Inter- state League club, back in 1888.

 Poor old Jesse 5Burkett, who had minor league ball club given to him, ought to serve as a warning to other people to take out accident insurance policies. Moralists tell us that young fell low who never does anything more than he has to will never get up in the world, but all the same Freddie Welsh is up there.
 The Kaiser seems to be having his troubles these days, what with Bulga- ria and Turkey threatening to leave his league and jump to the Feds. F-I -f The old time boxing fans, who off, ten. had fifty or more rounds dished up for one admission, certainly got a run for their money. Present day fans also get run for their kale- and run is about all they do get sometimes.

numerous parts after that. Until Clara
NImbaIl was nine years old she Travelled
with her parents and played child parts
in the pieces tney staged. Bv that time
she was firmly impressed with the idea
Of becoming an actress-portravp of
emotional parts in the first class OF nIavs.
And the years she spent living a quiet,
schoolgirl life with her grandmother at
Benton HarbOr. Mich, only made her the
more determined to obtain what she
wanted. For at least nine years-from
the time she went to Benton Harbor un-
til she was eighteen-Clara KimbalI
thought stage, dreamed stage, lived stage.
All by herself she learned part after part:
she read theatrical reviews and knew the
lives, habits and histories of stage celeb
rites as she knew her own name. And
whatever "one-night stands" visited Ben
ton Harbor she saw over and over.
When she was eighteen and beginning
to show signs of the beauty which has
since fascinated men, women and chill
dren all the way from Broadway to Hong
Kong, she went to New York to find a
place for herself on the stage But there
were no places. Day after day she
tramped from Office to office, begging for
Just anything that would put her on the
stage, and day after day booking agents
met her, smiled, wrote down her name

and promised to let her know when
they could use her. And day after
day she went back to her boarding
place. hoping always that one of the
agents would have written her. But
the letter never came; the offer never came.
And life looked very dark indeed to the
girl who wanted to be a tragedy queen
Then something came her way when
she was beginning to despair. It was
the tinest kind of a part in a musical
comedy, yet it might have been the star
role for the. JOY with which she received
it, and the hours and hours she Iabored
to make it exactly perfect The comedy
was produced and failed And the girl
who had tried so hard was more than
ever discouraged. This happened in 1911.
But it was the psychic signpost point
ing the route toward something better 1t
paved the way for a vaudeville engage
ment, and not long after the last cur
tain fell on the last performance she was
offered a p; in a vaudeville act which
gave her a chance to try out some of the
dramatic ability which she always felt
was her own. Besides, James Young was
the star. The theatrical world looked
upon him as an actor of ability, man
ageriaIly appointed to stardom. But
mana gers had nothing to do with his ap-
pointment Destiny did it, And Destiny
allotted Clara KimbalI to fill the place of
leading woman in his act.
OF course they fell in love. Miss Kim
ball was developing the particular type
of Greek beauty then which has since set
her apart from all movie actresses and
from most other women all over the

of democracy.
We are not worthy To stand here
unless We ourselves be in deed and
truth real democrats and servants Of
mankind" he said, ready TO give our
very lives for the freedom and justice
and spiritual cXallation Of the great
nation which shelters and nurtures
us.
The non-poIitical character OF the
program was emphasized by the men
tion Of the name Of Charles Il. Hughes,
