If Weeghman's Hurlers
EQUAL His Predictions
Records For Is Years
Will Be Shattered

When Charley Weeghman soon aft
err the purchase of Grover Alexander,
said he expected his three great pitch
erS. Alexander. Vaughn and Phil
Douglas to win 90 games for him dur
ing the coming season. he evidently
had not looked sack over the records
TO find just what a job it is for a pitch
son.
Pitchers winning 80 or lore games
during the season are so rare that
they can he set aside in a little hall
of fame all Of their OWL n the hall
wouldn't he crowded.
Should Alexander win 80 games in
1918 he will stand alone as the only
pitcher who has been able to 80
victories in four consecutive seasons
and he will share with Matthewson
and Cy Young the honors of having
been the only pitchers who have won
80 victories in four years during their
careers.
If Jim Vaughn can score 80 vic
tories he will be the first southpaw TO
turn the trick sine 1896 when Frank
killen won 80 victories for Pittsburg.
Since that day there have been some
great southpaws hut such pitchers as
Ruhc Waddell. Eddie Plank, Jess
Tapnehill, Nap Rucker and Ruhe
IIh navy hSNVt 'CGh dOlS ~ ScI
80 wins over in a season.
Should Alexander and Vaughn
manage to win their 80 games and
Douglas come through with 30 more it
will be the first time in the history of
baseball hat more han two pitchers
on the same club have turned in 80
victories in a season. Only twice have
two pitchers turned the trick. This
was in 1909 and 1904 when Matthew
son and McGinnity of the Giants each
won 30 games per season.
During the past 20 seasons only 10
pitchers have entered the class.
Charley Nichols broke in in 1898,
Cy Young in 1901 and 1902. after he
had won 80 games a season in 1895
and 1895, Matthewson turned the
trick in 1903. 1904. 1905 and 1908.
Joe McGinnitv in 1903 and 1904, Jack
Chesbro in 1904. Ed Walsh in 1908,
Jack Coonbs in 1910. Joe Wood in
1912. Walter johnson in 1919 and
Alexander in 1915. 1916 and 1917.
1t looks like Weeghman is doomed
to disappointment. for greater pitch
ers than Vaughn n Douglas have
worked faithfully to get in the class
and failed. When one considers thai

looks as though Tyler and some of tn.

Interesting.

The class games for the women's
teams at the university opened with
a rush last evening. In the games
last night the Sophomore team easily
defeated the Seniors by a score Of %
to 0. and the Juniors nosed out the
Freshmen by a score Of I to 6. Both
games were well played and were
very interesting. the Junior Fresh
men game being of more interest on
account of the closeness of the score.
In the first game played last even
ing the Sophomores easily outclassed
the Seniors. The result of this game
was apparent after the first few min
utes of play. as the superior team
work of the Sophomores was at once
apparent. The second year team took
the lead at once, and the game from
then on was simply a question as to

The Sophomores have a very capa-

The game between the Juniors and
the Freshmen was of more interest
to the large crowd of spectators. This
to the final whistle. The Juniors took
an early lead and seemed to have a
decided advantage over the Fresh
