is before the batSman who longs to
break Cobb'S record of leading ma e.
jor league in batting for ten consec-
utive years.
] am also inclined to believe Rabe
Ruth in pounding out twenty-nine
home runs has set a high water mark
that will stand for some time. When
YOU consider the record of twenty
seven home runs made in 1884, stood
for thirty-five years. il is easy to see
what the sluggers are up againsi /
who seek to dethrone Ruth.
II is possible some club will smash
the record of twenty-siN straight wins
made by the Giants. No doubt SOM
pitcher will come along some day
who viii top the nineteen straight
victories registered by both keefe
and Marquard. Some day some club
Will equal the stunt of the Boston
Braves in winning four straight
games in 4 world series. Cobbs rec
ord of 24S hits and 149 runs in one
season will likely be passed some day
bv some star. 1t is also possible
Mathe wson'S record of three success
sive world series Shut-outs will some
day be equaled. Anything is possible
in base ball, but the record of Cy
Young is almost certain to stand for
all time. Likewise the feat of Cobb
in leading the league for ten years
and Ruth in making twenty-nin"
home runs, viii more than keep the

NOBROOKLYN HOLDOUTS
Ebbets Steals March on Rival
Owners and Has Twenty
Players Signed.

NEW YORK. February BY quiet,
effective methods. President Charles
H. Ebbets of the Brooklyn base ball
club mas stolen a march on the other
club owners and has twenty OF ms
players under contract. This list IN
cludes fourteen of the regulars and
six recruits. No other major league
club has been so successful in bring
ing it's players into line.
In the first place. the Brooklyn
club voluntarily boosted the salaries
of the players. President Ebbets
didn't wait to get his players into line
by mail. He talked with them at the
close of last season before they went
to their homes. He told them that he
was going to give them an Increase
and informed each one just owamuch
it was. So when he sent out his con-
tracts they came back promptly.
The Brooklyn squire says that he
doesn't believe that there is a hold
out on his club. He has eight play
ers unsigned. seven regulars and one
recruit. Their contracts were not
sent out until last week and he pre-
diets that before the club is ready TO
go south on it's spring excursion all
the players will be signed and salts
fed.

What record that prevails in ma jor
| league base ball do you believe has
, the least chance of being broken?
That query rece ltly was shot at me.
| | asked for time. Then l hurriedly re-
called all the records my memory
contained. l was a bit in doubt as to
what reply would be safest, when !
| thought of good old Cy Young That
settled it. l vouchsafed the opinion
that Youngs major league pitching
record in winning over 500 games
would probably stand the test for all
time. l felt positive it wouldn't be
| broken in our generation.
That evening on reaching home. /
delved into my record books to re-
| fresh my memory as to the many re-
| markable stunts performed by Cyrus
Denton Young. During his major
league career. Young won sos games.
Think of it. nearly zoo games more
| than his closest rival. Christy Ma
thewson. In his career he pitched Sl9
games, over 300 more than any other
twirler in history. Take for compari-
son such stalwarts as Mathewson,
Walsh and Eddie Plank. Both Walsh
and Plank fell below the 500 mark in
games pitched. while Mathewson. with
all his pitching longevity and unend-
ing service, barely passed that mar <.
If pitcher with MathewSon easy
delivery. a pitcher who took remarka-
BILE care of himself, could come no
closer than 800 games to the mark set
by Young for continuous performance.
then it doesn't seem there was much
of chance for the ordinary lndl-
vidual A narrow margin Is always
possible TO wipe out, but when you
pile up a margin of 300 games. eX-
tending over twenty years. 1T seems
you have z iven the athletes mark 10
shoot at that is beyond the reach OF
them all. Pitchers of the Cyrus Den
| ton Young type appear to come TINS
earthly way but once.
The other record l feel viii stand
for some time is the feat of Ty Cobb
in leading the American League in
atting for ten consecutive years
The best Hans Wagner. mighty hit
ter that he was, could do was to lead
the Natio lal League four times in
succession, and eight times out OF
twenty years. Larry Lajois led the
American League batters four times
in twenty years. The ability of Wag-
