Another Case of Pitching

A VERY recent example of what pitching will do to
n ball club had at home lot yesterday, when
the Braves took the rubber of the series from
Phls Neither Eppa Rixey Dana Fingm had
anything to talk about and the result that it
matter Of which club could slam the ball the hardest and
the most timely The Tribe had the edge in both and
therefore grabbed 81 decision.
The Phils wasted enough explosives something to
win a flock of ball games. No expect the heavy
artillery on any ball club to sock than eleven
hits for twenty bases and that's what Phls turned
more timely there wouldn't have been anything to it,
But Eppa not there thereabout and that's
thing else again The Tribe ruued his record to the
extent of eleven safeties for twenty bases
Casey Stcngel had Babe Ruth day anCRsockcd home
runs regardless. He failed connect on his first two
appearances but the third time he drove the
blcachers the bounce, and his last try he endan
gered the lives of Broad pedestrians by lifting the
ball over the right field fence.
One was on when Casey hit for four bases in the
seventh, but in the ninth when he raped his second
homer the bases were as empty a flask on Sunday
morning. Irish Meuse caught the fever and gave
Fingim pitch ride into the bleachcrs two seconds
after Stenges slam in the ninth.
The circuit couts by Stenge and NIeusel were tho
only Phil extra base drives, but the Braves had two
doubles. three triples and home Mann contributed
the four ply slam and also of the doubles
THE As tcon too ball games in Boston ycsterdoy
and brought their tcinning streak an 10 three
straight The udckmen got good pitching in the
fret by Rommcl and keefc and Harris ttcried areat
ball in the second, all of rhich proues that the A.
are better than last place club they can get

Increment in France
to Stop Bookmaking

Paris, June deputy Maurice
de Rothschild, whose stables are
prominent in French racing, started
movement for clean racing today
through a bill which he introduced

The measure is designed to stamp

Two Pals

t"V dto
Inspiration started out upon the beaten
track, ,.... s.f
Win Pcrspirdtion for a mate to lead
the big attack;
And so together, side By side, they
dashed into the fray,
With Idurels heaped upon each broto
along the open iody.
When Inspiration said at last ,oith craft
set in his eyes,
"Since I haze done the most of IL, tohy
should split the prize?
"Since IL has been my finished art that
filled the open bag,
Why should / be q foolish boob and
dizzy up the swdg|
SO Inspiration iodlked alone TO play the
tOinning game,
With Precipitation tossed aside upon the
road to fame.
But Sip months later, pan aud ,oorn,
toith bruised aud bleeding feet,
Poor Inspiration ioalked IN rags, a beg
gar donn the street.
TEN years ago the leading attractions
l. in baseball were Ty Cobb, Hans
Wagner, Christy Mathewson, Johnny
Evers, Ed Walsh and Chief Bender.
One of them is left. Ten years from
now it may be George Sisler or Rogers
Hornsby or babe" Ruth. Or even
they may be forgotten.
Lasting Records
CY YOUNG'S pitching record of
" twenty two seasons in the big
league still stands-and will for many
a decade.
Pop Anson's record of lasting in the
major leagues until he was forty seven
may never be beaten.
Hans Wagner's ability to bat 300 or
better for seventeen consecutive seasons
remains classic.
But there are two men today who
will stand at the top in the record book
when the present generation of fans are
consigned to dust, to daisies and to
dreams
These two are Cobb and Ruth.
Cobb's ability to lead his league in
twelve out of thirteen years is the most
remarkable individual achievement in
baseball. For at the same time he was
leading both leagues.
4 Ruth's twenty. nine home runs of
1919 and the crop he will harvest this
season will be another target beyond
reach for many seasons.
Such men as Cy Young, Wagner,
Anson. Cobb and Ruth are rare con-
tributions to the game.
Two are left, and one Of these two is
beginning to show signs of wear and
tear.
Bulk and Stamina
OF THESE five men, Cobb was the
" slightest in. build--and Cobb is six
feet. weighing $50 stripped .
Young. Wagner and Arson were al
powerfully built. But Ruth is the
physical leader of the lot, carrying the
mighticst frame now in baseball.
Proving. again. that a good big man
still has something on n good little man
when it comes to the combative games
of sport.
Another Marvel
TN THE meanwhile another temporal
l. marvel goes into action next w"ck.
IhlrtS years hSo' DICK III 1000, john
Ball won his first amateur golf cham
pionship of Great Britain.
He won seven additional amateur
championships since, and now at the
age of fifty seven he is going after an
other title.
A champion at fifty seven!
AS great as he used to be, there is
only an outside chance that any such
miracle could take place.
The Difference
A FEW years ago any ball player in
"A the Amcyican League who could
nick ten or twelve home runs was fairly
sure to top the circuit.
Frank Baker and Wally Pipp wer,
generally much obliged to peel off ten ol
twelve year and lead the field.
! Now Ruth comes along and collect.

Aler Shooting at Pitching Mark

GROVER ALEXANDER now has eleven straight
~ games. which is seasons record. Alex is on the
road to smash the old mark of nineteen straight, but
that's'a pretty hard thing to do.
Tim Keefe. who pitched for the New York Giants in
1850, was the first to win nineteen in row. This mark
was equaled in 1912 by Rube MarQuard when he was
toDng for McGraw, and has come near it since
1t stands to that Keefc put unusual stunt
when only has tied it in thirty one years. 1t
also shows what tough job Alex has on his hdnds If
he expects to equal or break the record.
In the American League the best work has been done
by Smoky Joe Wood and Walter johnson. Both have
won sixteen straight and in the same year. Wood
pitching for the Boston Red Sox in 1912 and Johnson
of course with Washington.
Perhaps these marks will be broken time in the
future but there is record which should stand for all
time. That is the for consecutive defeats.

Terrell County.

TERRELL COUNTY lies in Southwestern
Georgia and is about the geographical CEN
ter of that part of the state. 1t is surrounded
by the counties of Webster, Sumter, Dougherty,
Lee, Calhoun and Randolph. Its distance
from the Alabama line is about AZ miles east,
and from Florida close to a hundred miles
north. 1t is in the midst of most favored
agricultural section. Crops can be grown the
entire year, there being no extremes often
perature. The mean temperature for the
year is about IS degrees, that for the winter is
so degrees and for the summer 78 to 80 de-
grees In the summer the thermometer is
rarely above so or 95 degrees, and the 100
mark is reached so seldom that it can scarcely
be expected. In winter the temperature is
rarely ever below 20 degrees, and for period
well onto century there has been but one
time when the temperature reached the zero
mark. No resident remembers when it ever
approached this degree before.

ment.'

territory, in event permission is
granted the federal government to
route troops through the United
