American athletes reign supreme in

enthusiasm was on the wane until
the Americans put fresh life into every
indoor and outdoor sport. The organ
ization of the Anglo-American Base
ball league has laid the foundation for
baseball and the games in London
have been largely attended. So much
enthusiasm has been created that
there is talk for a real international
world series with contestants from
America, England, France and Can
ada.

RECORD HELD BY CLEVELAND
Only Team in American League to
Escape Hitless Pitching of Bos-
ton Red Sox HurIers.

Since the American league included
Boston in its membership every other
club in the league except Cleveland
has been held hitless by a Red Sox
pitcher.
Dutch Leonard's performance on
June 3 was the eighth hitless game
pitched by a Boston American league
boXman. Back in 1904 Cy Young
set down the Athletics without a safe
hit, and in the same year Jesse Tan
nehill repeated against the White
Sox. Bill Dineen got a no-hit deci-
sion over the White Sox the follow
ing year.
In 1868 Cy Young BANKED the Yam
KEGS batsnen for nine innings and
in 1911 Joe Wood Joined the circle
with no-hit game against the
Browns.
George Foster set the Yanks down
hitless III 1916, Ernie Shore turred the
trick against the Senators last sea-
son, and now Leonard ADDS the Tigers

American League Record Es-

A baseball worlds record was hung

Moreover, no club il any league en-.

record. On the date mentioned the
Louisville club of the old American as

suffered so many reverses in a row.
The following year, 1890 the Pitts

losing twenty-three games in success
sion. Although Nimick's men failed
to deprive Louisville of its dubious
record, they did succeed in setting up
a National league record The Ameri-
can league record for straight defeats
was established in 1906, when the
Boston Red Sox, under the manage
ment of James J. Collins, were van
quished in twenty straight games.
The old American association, in
which Louisville set up a hard luck
record that has endured for nearly
thirty years, was classed as a major
league. In the following year, how.
eyer, it was another story, and the
team that had tasted so much de-
feat in such big punches captured the
pennant in 1890. Cincinnati was the
first champion of the old association

three straight games.
st. Louis then took four straight
pennants in the American assOcia-
ton. Brooklyn led in that circuit in
1889, losing to New York in the con-
test for the worlds flag. Brooklyn

and played Louisville, the American
association champion, in the worlds

Kirby came to bat. He hit for
a home run, his hit accounting
for four runs. Then the Pitts

that according to the score card
Delos Drake should have hit
ahead of Kirby. The umpire
ruled Drake out for not having
batted and allowed Kirby to hit
over again. This time he tripled,
driving in three runs, a total of
seven runs in one time at bat"
