Great Pitching.

For the sixth time in the history
of the game a base ball player has
pitched complete shutout, allowing
his opponents no hits, no runs and no
men on bases. No-hit games have
been pitched much more frequently,
where bases on balls have been given.
or where errors have occurred. But to
young Charles Robertson, late of Min
neapolis and now Of Chicago in the
American League, has come the rare
glory of facing only twenty-seven men
in the game. the smallest possible
number in a full contest. Six of the
twenty-seyen famed the air. Robert
sons teammates gave him perfect sup
port. There is no beating such com.
bination. - ''.-'
And yet the no-hit pitchers are not
always the greatest performers. This
young man may become one Of the
brilliant stars Of the base ball firma-
ment. or he may fizzle out as SO many
other promising ''phenons" have done.
Still. it is a great thing to start a. big
league career with a shutout like thit
scored by this rookie Sunday against
Detroit. -, 80. - -.-
Walter. johnson had pitched a dozen
years, all. of them brilliantly. before
he scored a no-hit game. Many an
other great pitcher has gone through
season after season, winning high per-
centages, without touching this mark.
The chances are that, Robertson will
not repeat this extraordinary perform
ance. And then. again, he may, for
there is nothing so so,uncertain as the
base ball game. r-sEf--s - -

FOOTBALL OVER,
BOWLING NOW POPULAR
BY BILLY EVANS.

with football out OF the way,
bowling has come into it's own.
While the ten-pln artists have been
whaling away at the pins for sew
eral weeks. the real rush to the
alley starts with the close OF foot
ball and the coming OF cool weather
DO you bowl? II not you are fail
ing 10 take advantage OF a great
winter pastime.
Like all other sports proficiency
IN bowling Is largely a matter OF
form. II you play golf you know
there is a certain right and wrong
way TO make the various shots.
That goes for bowling. There is a
proper way 10 approach the foui
line, a correct manner OF holding
the bail and letting II so.
In golf one hears much Of the fol-
low through. the proper stance, the
correct manner OF holding the club
and swinging at the ball.
Form Means n lot.
In bowling. II you are 20 make
any progress, you mist first grip the
ball in the correct way. You must
approach the foul line so that when
the ball is started down the alley
your position is such that the hall
will carry on a direct line for the
object at which you are aiming. An
improper turn OF the wrist. the
wrong foot forward as the ball is
started down the alley and direction
Is lost.
In golf the beginner Is always
thinking OF getting distance to his
drives. IN bowling the novice feels
that he must get much speed on
the ball in order to knock over a
flock OF pins
There is much more TO bowling
than the mere throwing OF the ball,
science plays a big part in success /
on the bowling alleys.
Control Great Asset.
In bowling. like baseball, control |
is a most necessary asset. Every T.
truly great pitcher that 1 have UNI
pired for in the majors has been |

MURPHY TO LOOK
AFTER HIS BROTHER

Pete Devine, ocal lightweight who
is to meet George Tully brother OF
Jimmy Murphy. in the Ellkton bouts
on Friday night is preparing for a
busy winter campaign. Pete has
signed up TO box at Chester, Phila-
delphia and Harrisburg for bouts a
week apart starting on Christmas
Day at Chester. Three hard bouts in
a row after the Elkton setto has
caused Devine to do considerable
training. He was not in the best Of
condition when he fought Soldier
Johnson, although he beat the sol
dier and was given a rousing send
off by the fans. Every morning at
six o'clock Pete hits the road" and
in the evenings he travels four TO
six hard rounds with Patty Murphy
at the st. Hedwig club.
Devine Is a fighter from the word
go. He won the hearts OF the fans
when he kept Soldier johnson on
the move every second OF their bout.
He packs a hard punch in either
hand and is continually boring into
his opponent.
Word has been received from
Jummy Murphy that he will accom-
pany his kid brother 10 Elkton on
Friday night. and handle him in his
bout with Devine.
Jimmy writes that his brother is a
clever kid. who has been winning
consistently IN Philadelphia. HIS
future looks very promising. as he
takes TO the game like a fish TO
water. He mas a good lift hand and
Is a clever and fast worker. Jimmy
says his brother as yet has not de-
veloped a knockout punch, but he
sure will make his opponent know
he was attending the bouts.
Jimmy also said that he Is pre-
pairing for another try at the ring
game. and that he would be willing

142-pound boy In the country at Elk
