New York, May -, Grover Clcve-

cities the greatest Pitcher in base,
ball today has never pitched no

Alex has has been hurlng the elu-

Since Alexander broke into prlcs.
SIGNAL Ian, big league pitchers have
hurled twenty-eight no.hit games,
and it has taken them nine years to
pile mp this total During the past
six years, since Alex has been ma
jor Lacquer, nineteen hiiless gamt s
have been pitched, five of them this
year.
Ranked as one of the smartest
pitchers ever brought out, with a
wonderful arm. a great assortment of
foolers and brand of control that

In the matter Of records he enjoys
tho individual ownership of the title
If 'shutout king Last season he

taking the record away from Jack
Cocmbs, who held 1t for six years
with thirteen scoroless performances

IN 1919 he captured sixteen games

SAY iris SPEAKER IS
MOST STYLISH BATTER
But Players Don't Think He'll
Finish Above Cobb.

or all the present day batsmen ball

batting style to Iris Speaker, SAYS
Grantland Rice. ~ have never seen
any one hit the ball as Speaker did last
SEASON." remarked one of the Yankee
veterans. Every hit that he got was
clean, hard wallop. And even when
he failed to make hit he walloped the
ball and generally drove It with
smash either to an inficder or an out.
fielder. But whether he made hit or
not he was hitting the ball and hitting
1t on the nose. II was wonderful
thing to lead Ty Cobb for six consccu.
tive months at bat. but an even more
wonderful thing to keep on hitting the
bah as Speaker did from April to Ccto-
Der without slump. Whether he can
maintain this pace another year is an.
other matter. But you can gamble X
he does he will not only lead the field
again, but will he up above 400 for the
season"
Admitting Speakers greatness at bat.
ball players are not willing to pick him
as n iD17 victor over Cobb They fig.
ure on not only Cobb's greater speed,
but his aggressivcncss and dctnrmina-

Willard, chairman Of the Committee on
Transportation Of the Council of Ma
tional Defence. The railroads have to
their credit through cooperation with
the War Board, the following achieve
ments:--
The 6a3 companies operating in forty
eight States and controlling 263, 600
miles OF road have been practically M
tionaiized and are working as one sys-
tenn.
They have made all transfer of troops
on schedule. without interfering with
civil traffic. to the entire satisfaction
of the War Department.
They are handling at the same time
without congestion. more than 1000
10000 more ton miles a month than a
year ago, or an increase of sixteen per
cent
They have successfully handled the
HuIru uaIiiC iAEONh on tntlH ny
@itlaira wal on account of the war of
many lake and seacoast vessels
In spite of this increased business
they have decreased the general car
shortage one-third since May J.
They have increased the practical
supply of cars by 718.Ooo through
heavier loading quicker repairs. quicker
handling. by pooling shipments at lake
and seaports. thus releasing cars i'm
media tely and by utilizing box cars that
formerly were sent to the coast empty,
They have given preference TO coal
shipments, particularly for the govern
ment and its allies
