Pi4t Game.


History repeated Itself at Forbes
Field yesterday when the Pitt Pan
Their and the Nittany Lion for the
second year in succession battled
to a s~coreless tie. The trip to Salts,
burg evidently did Pitt much good
and she outplayed the BeZdekians
ali the way. In view of the claims
made by the Penn State aggregation
the game yesterday is a moral vic,
tory for Pitt. without regard to tn"
fact that It was n no decision bout.
The contest also sends to the eter

claim to the eastern championship.

Tho location OF Iowa doesn't

Miss Leitch Hurt and Quits Golf
 For Short Time

New York, December 25.--eSpe- ial.)-While 1t Is not generally known. Miss Cecil Ieitch. woman champion or Great Britain, France and Canada, may never play another game of golf, unless she follows strictly the orders of her physician, who Is administering to a torn arm muscle, which Tho British star re- ceived in one Of ner last matches played in America. The golfing fra ternity will be surprised. probably. to learn of the injury. and 1t might have never known, had not Miss Alexa Stirling. an itimate friend of Miss Leitch's, recently told of the misfortune which has befallcn the star.
 The physician who is attending Miss Lietch insists that she refrain from playing the game for a period of at least six months; otherwise. he is said to have declared, she may never be able to resume the sport which has made her internationally famous. Miss Lsitch. according to Miss Stirling is not downcast over the unfortunate accident. although she regrets that she must lose valuable time. which might be devoted to practice.
 Regardless of this obstacle which has appeared suddenly in her path she is determined to return to Amer ica next summer In quest again Of the only title that has yet eluded her. the womans championship of the United States. Her last words be- fore sailing from Montreatl were an assurance that she would return in the summer of 1922.

MUSIC HASLOST
 MANY RACES FOR
 NERVOUS HORSES
Jazz Music Annoys Some Horses So Much They
 Can't Run

New Orleans, December 25.-(Spe- ctal. .)--Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. according to the poet. but not so in the ease of all race horses. This fact has been ob- served by trainers. after an investi- gation' and they have learned that strains from Mozart as well as up- to- date jazz music. cause some thor oushbreds to become nervous
 Music has caused many A horse to lose race. The bandmaster with baton in hand. directing his musi- cians in the grandstand, has been the innocent factor in causing many rich purses to be lost by horses, the nerves of which do not become soothed by major and minor strains.
 The most noted horse on the American turf which loathes music is Fair Gain. now stabled at the fairgrounds. This horse ran all sum mer around the metropolitan tracks and never won race unles the band happened not to be playing when he paraded past the stand. Cotton is stuffed in the ears of these nervous horses before being sent to the post.
 Many times the stable hands were careless and a portion Of the cotton worked it's way out of the ear so that a faint strain of the music in the grandstand reached the horse. This was enough to get the thor oughhbred into an uncontrollable nervous state and of course the horse did not run his race.
 While many horses do not like the sound of music, there are others that enjoy it. Strains from the band in ths grandstnnd seem to have a sc0th- ing effect on many thoroughbreGs.
 Unfortunately the owners and trainers of thoroughbreds which have no love for music have no con trol over the bandmaster In the grandstand. and the classics from the old world and the twentieth century ragtime jazz has been the cause of losing many races. Even phono- graphs played by stable hands in nearby barns on race tracks have the same effect on some of these thoroughbreds. There Is no cure for such nervous attacks, according to veterinarians, and music will go down in history as the direct cause for nervousness for many high-bred horses.

Arthur Raymond Was Best Pitcher
 of the Old Times

Arthur (Bugs) Raymond, who passed over the promised land many moons ago, and whom Manager Me- Graw of tho New York Giants had for several seasons on his pitching staff trying to make a man of him. not hurler. for Bugs" was a hurler long before Jack McGraw had him m tow. was a wonderful pitcher and possessed as much natural talent as any hurier the game ever had.
 It was with the Charleston club of the South Atlantic league in 1soi that Raymond framed up a record in the pitchers position which, from many angles. surpasses any work performed by a minor league hurler. In 61 games pitched by Bugs" that season, only 50 runs were scored, and all but six of these were full games. In 21 of them the opposition failed to score and he allowed less than five hits per game. To add little class to this sensational pitching, Raymond struck out 375 batsmen. Besides pitching a no-hit game he had on his list two one-hit games and five games wherein he held the opposition to two hits. In Il games he held teams to three hits.
 Clarence Fucn lCount fuch), ms catcher, used to say that it was all most impossible for him to get next to the stuff that Bugs" put on the ball. no two curves were alike or broke alike. It was a case of grab the pill irrespective of signs. In 1908 the St. Louis Nationals signed him, and in the old National he con tinued to pitch wonderful ball. It made no difference to Bugs" all batsmen looked alike, to him when he was going right. Rayfhonds first season in the big show he pitched two one-hit games. four three-hit battles and six four-hit games. In only one of the 33 games he pitched for St. Louis was the double number in hits made.

Birmingham Automobile Rac- ing Association Plans a Speed Tourney at State Fair Grounds.

Amateur automobile drivers of Bir- mingham who have longed to cut loose with every bit of speed pos sessed by their cars without being molested by cops or running into something, will have their chance next Monday, January 2, when one Of the biggest auto events ever held in Birmingham will be pulled at the fairgrounds. Amateur drivers, as well as some pros, will get a chance to show their skill and daring to the race fans of Birmingham. Entries for the races have only been open for three days, but already many cars have been entered, and with the growing interest among automobile enthusiasts of Birmingham a larger number of entries than any ever had in Birmingham before is being ex- pected for the races.
 As inducement for the drivers to risk breaking their motly necks, prizes amounting to $1,500 have been put up by the Birmingham Automo- bile association, the organization that is responsible for the races being put on. Auto bugs are not only put ting this race card on to help tho auto racing game in Birmingham but they are also putting 1t on to help others. The entire proceeds out side of expenses will be donated to- ward helping some worthy organiza- tion of the city. Probably 25 per cent of the entire proceeds of the race will go to pay the drivers, and with this much money in view the fans may be sure of being served some genuine thrills and not the fake h-.r-raising stuff that Is very often pulled off.
 Anyone in tho city who has a gas buggy that will qualify Is eligible for entrance in the races, and every man in Birmingham who knows any thing at all about driving a car is invited to enter his mount, and go out after the spot. to say nothing of the prizes being offered. Those wish ing to enter may do so by seeing Ju- Han Schwartz of the News, MT. hall of The Age-Herald, or Matt Friedman of the post.
 Admission to the races will only be 50 cents. and as this is the only outdoor event being staged on that day, many fans are expee$ed to avail themselves of the opportunity of go- ing out and getting few thrills at nf the Post.
 among those prominent in automo- bile circles who have signified their intentions of participating in the races is Julian Schwartz, who is the automobile editor Of the News Ju- Han will pilot . Premocar and has already announced that he expects to sweep all competition aside with this mount. He defies any pilto of gas vehicles in Birmingham to come out and dispute for honors with him.
 From the present outlook it seems impossible for this big race card to be anything other than a success, and preparations are being made in tn anticipation of ,a large crowd. If the race goes off without anything going wrong the Automobile asso- ciation plans to have an event of. this kind twice year, giving the en- lire proceeds to some worthy cause.
