sweeping force to use fire hose in flush

accumulation OF dirt following the

Half a days use Of the fire hose on

Their First Six Years

citizen with an nquisitive turn of mind
desires to know how the records of Matty
and Alexander compare for their first six
ycars-Alex having completed only this
many seasons.
Matty, his first six seasons. won 159
games and lost SO. Alexander TO date has
won 100 games and lost IS
In his first two seasons. however, Matty
was working with tai-end team in a
state of almost complete dilapidaton, where
no one but a hero could win
After Mcfiraw took charge Matty did
much better work. His record for the first
six seasons under John !. was 179' victories
and seventy-nne defeats. Matty's pitching
mark for sixteen years ia .661. Alexander's
for six years is .6S1. The Philly premier
has held his own to date with shade to
spare in percentage way, but whether he
can go ten moro years around the $50 is
another guess.
In thinking of Iron Men, one first turns to
Joe McGinty and Ed Walsh. Yet neither
worked in half as many as Cy Young-and
nothing like as many games as Mathewson.
They were Iron Men for several years, but
the rust arrived long before they had been
over the long trail.
Only five slabmen so far have worked in
more than 500 games. They are Cy Young,
Christy Mathewson. Vic Willis Jack Powell
and Red Ehret. Walter johnson, with more
than 400 games TO his credit already, is
sure to beat this mark, and he will un-
dOuhtedly finish second to Young when the
total count is in. Johnson should be good
for at least 275 more contests-enough to
move him up around the 700-game crest.
Alexander must work 217 more games to
beat the 500 MARYLAND as this means only
five more years, he. too, should take his
place with the long-dstance mandarns of
the mound

KILL Bic LYNX
ON HIGH LINE
Walter VOtaw Ends Criminal Career
of Big Bobcat or Lynx, Which Had
Been Robbing His Hen RoOst-
First One Killed in the Valley for
Many Months.

A giant lynx four and half feet
in length was killed at the Walter Vo-
taw ranch on the Highline Thursday
night.
The animal was found in the chick
en- corral. Mr. and Mrs. Votaw had
been constaly missing chickens, but
thought the animal getting them was
coyote. Last night the lynx was seen
and shot.
Lynx have been rather rare in the
valley for several years, although
many were killed in the early days.
Lately, however. there have been many
complaints of their temperance, par
ticularly among chicken raisers and
sheep men. A number of sheep men
have reported losses from them in
the last few weeks, lambs being found
with the flank partly or wholly eaten
away in the peculiar manner of a
lynx In many cases the lambs were
still alive when found, although their
lungs were exposed.
