married there, with the ''home

However, a good many of the

Washington was well repre-

Heavyweight Grapplers Meet at Athletic Club
Old Time Hurlers Often Won Fifty
 Games in q Year

These times hurler who pitches 30 victories in a season gets in the limelight. for 1t is a rare feat now adays. Jim Bagby turned the trick in 1920. TlAs season no hurler came within three games of the achieve ment. It rarely happens, these times, that pitcher gets in 50 games dur ing season. In the days when the game was young it wasn't an uncom- mon stunt for hurler to pitch 50 or 60 games a season and baseball history gives us data that several hurlers working in the big leagues won 50 games in a season.
 During the season of 1884 Charlie Radbourne, pitching for the Provi- dence club of the National league. pitched Fl games and won 57 of them. This Is the greatest number of vic tories registered by a major league hurler In a single season. Guy Heck CT, star hurler of the Louisville club of the old American association in 1884, won 50 out of the Il games he pitched that season.
 Duplicates
 John G. Clarkson, who pitched for the Chicago and Boston Nationals from 1884 until 1894, had the honor of winning 50 games in two different years. In his first full season for Chicago the great Clarkson won 52 games, and again, after he was sold to the Boston club in 1888, he pro ceeded to show the Boston manage ment that they had made no mistake when they paid S1O,000 for his re- lease by winning 51 games out of the 72 he hurled that season. It must have been a wonderful feat, even in those days. The hurlers threw just as many balls, used all the speed they possessed, and had just as many heavy batsmen to face as the hurler of today has.
 No Chance Nowadays
 No hurler of the present day will ever equal these records, for the req son that none ever have chance to work in more than 40 games a season, and even that is a rarity. Jack Chesbro and Ed Walsh. of a decade ago, possess records of win ming 40 or more games in single season. Walter Johnson and Christy Mathewson have participated in 5O games in a season, but didn't turn in an unusual number of victories
 The game has changed wonderfully in this respect. The system of hand- ling pitchers, the use of the derrick, the close tab kept on the huriers condition have tendency to make the labors of the hurler lighter and less.

First Preliminary Begins at 8::30 0'CIock-Main Bout Expected to Bring Evenly Matched Foes Together

Some interesting wrestling should be brought into play tonight when Cliff Binkley tackles Farmer" Bailey at the Athletic club. in what advance dope sets forth as one of the most evenly matched bouts that has been staged in a local ring this season.
 Binkley, one of the youngest of the present heavy weights, recently left the amateur ranks to seek fame among the star professionals, and has been setting a fast clip. It Is the ambition Of the Ohio state lad to some day wear the championship crown. and should Binkley be able to win over Bailey tonight, the club will arrange to bring in one of the other big men to pit against Blink ley.
 In selecting Farmer" Bailey as an opponent to meet Binkley, the club has secured one of the most dangerous men in the heavyweight ranks. Bailey, who originally toured the country as a heavyweight litter and performer, has been very prom inent in wrestling circles since the 1914 New York wrestling tourna- mont.
 Bailey has to his credit 75-min- ute win over Stecher, while Binkley has been able to hold off Waldek zbyszko for the same length of time.
 The two are just about evenly matched physically. and 1t looks as though speed and skill will be the sole factor in determining the win ner of the bout. Binkley will weigh 225, while Bailey should weigh in at about 230 for the bout.
 Local fans are promised plenty of action in tonight's mill, and indica- tions are that the bouts will be well attended. The mat game has been opened up for the season and Bir- mingham will be treated to all the head1iners in the game during the coming winter months
 Several good preliminaries will be staged before the main event.

Babe Ruth Makes
 New Scoring Record


 George Ruth crossed the plate ITS times last season, and by scoring that many runs the great batsman created new record in scoring runs for the modern day players. The best mark since 1900 was made by Ruth in 1920. when he put over 15S runs. This season he scored IFS in 152 games, a remarkable record.
 The best record in run getting was made by Billy Hamilton of the Phil adelphia Nationals in 1894 when that fleetfooted athlete crossed the plate 192 times in the 131 games he played. No players have these records ap- preached The Lathams, Stoveys, Kellys, Duffys. Keelers of the old school and Ty Cobb, Davy Fultz, Eddie Collins and Larry Lajoie of the more modern school in putting over an unusual number of runs per season all fall short of the wonderful Ruth in scoring runs. Ruth has led all major league players in scoring runs in the past three sea- sons with 103 in 1919, 15S in 1920 and in 1921 he put over the second best mark in run getting in the his- tory of baseball.

Madden Posses His Hat m fhe
 Ring

New York, January S.-Bartley Madden has cast his chapeau into the ring. and with the headpiece. goes forth trumpeting challenge to all the heavies before the public. Come one, come all." Is Madden's defl, "and the bigger the crowd the better" For many months Bartley has been hid den from the gaze of the palpitat- ing public. Then the big man de- termined to step Into the glare of the limelight and here he ls Madden has been one of the enigmas of the ring. One of our best fighters when he feels like it. Tn the past he had great difficulty in obtaining matches for he had too good a rep for his rivals.
 That compelled Madden to pass up spending all his time at the game, and he gradually let it slip by. Now that there has been a revival of in- terest in the class of Goliaths he has jumped into the center. and is go- ing to stick.
 Never Picks sPushoverst
 There has always been one great factor in Madden's favor He never went out and tried to pick soft ones" They all looked alike and on account of his belligerency the mem bers of his class only met him on the street and In public conveyances Now they will have to accept the gauge he losses in or forever hold their tongues.
 Fred Fulton, the ponderous plas- terer, is heading from the west seek ing battle. That means the majority of heavyweights will step aside and say Whats the use of licking Full ton?" What they really mean, is why take chance with the skinny giant Madden figures the other way. He no sooner heard of Fulton's approach than he asked his manager, Phil Lewis, to get the narrow monolith. The match is on the fire and will probably take place the middle of next month.
 After Chance With Champ
 What Madden desires is to get a chance with Dempsey. Not that he's hragging he will knock the champion silly. but he wants the chance. He knows he can sock. for many oppo z nente will furnish sworn affidayits to that fact. Of the many that felt the thud of his glove Jim Coffey was a leader And at that time Coffey was good, while Madden wasn't at his best. Madden is eager to fight Bill Brennan. The latter is after another scramble with Jack Demp- sey. so Madden feels 'twould be a nice thing if he and Bill fought for the privilege.

Big Sweepstakes Euent Scheduled
 for Late Spring

Indianapolis. January s.-For the tenth time the Indianapolis motor speedway will stage its 50o-mile in- ternational sweepstakes May 30 aon the 21z mile brick oval, which has made the Hoosier capital city famous internationally. As in previous years, the race carries the largest cash award of the season for an automo- bile speed contest. with s50,000 total and $20,000 to the winner.
 Ten times in the last 12 years the speed kings of the gasoline world have contested for the honor of win hing an international race in the 10 events no driver has been able to re- peat and have the honor of twice winning the event. something which no other speed classic is distin- guished by. The race has grown from a domestic affair in 1911, with none but American pilots contesting, to the greatest event of the season and the cream of European teams as contestants. The lapse of two years in the running of the Indianapolis classic Is due to the World war, as races were not conducted In 1917 and | 1918.
 Entry blanks have been placed In the mails by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway company and responses from American and foreign drivers are expected daily, as it is always a contest, especially among the Amer ican pilots, to have the honor of car rying the No. 1 fin the race. Condi- tions for the race are the same as In 1920 and last year with the maxi mum engine size placed at 1s3 cubic inches. However. the weight condi- tions differ from former years and foreshadow the competition of what a decade ago would have been scorned as miniature engines. The maximum piston displacement cars that is, cars up to 1S3 cubic inches and not less than 123 cubic inches is 1,650 pounds minimum without gaso- line, oil or ballast of any kind. For the driver entering a car in the 2-litre class, that is, i22 cubic inches engine content or under, new weight conditions have been announced this year. The engine of .92-122 cubic inches rates a minimum weight of 400 pounds, while cars with engines of 91 F cubic inches or less can start with a minimum weight of 1900 pounds.
 The usual rigid requirements mak-
 ing 1t impossible for a physically un- fit driver to start are incorporated in the entry blank. in the supplementary conditions to the A. A. A. contest boards rules and regulations. It Is provided that In event of rain May 30 the race will be run on May 31. En- tries will be accepted up to midnight on May 1.
 The entry blank shows in addition to the cash prizes two famous tro- phies, the Prest-O-Lite silver brick to the driver leading a 300 miles and the Wheeler Schebler cup, largest sill yer trophy in existence. to the leader at 400 miles The s50.o00 purse is di- vided as follows: S2e,900. S5,0OO s3,500, ss,ooo, s2,2oo, s1,s00, $1,60O s1, 800 and s1,4oo. This fund will be more than doubled by accessory and lap prizes.

FOOTBALL SPEEDIEST OF ALL ATHLETICS,
 SAYS AL0NZO STAGG


 Football is speedier than any other sport. says Alonzo Stagg.> coach of the University of Chicago football team and director of athletics at that institution. He declares that under the right kind of coaching man can be made speedier in football than he can in any other branch of team ath- 1etics.
 This Is rather interesting because it has been generally held that base oall and hockey, among probably a couple of more sports, had it on foot ball for speed. But If Stagg has dis covered it to be true that greater speed is possible in football than in baseball. for instance. many will gladly side with him.
 Stagg says: Football is a glorious game. It calls for the highest in courage and sacrifice, for the good of the school and to win. It is a vigor- ous game and in a certain sense it is the glory of football that men will play the game in spite of injuries that quite often do come. One of the chief developments of the past 30 years is recognition of the worth of football to athletics"

STEWARDS OF THE GRAND CIRCUIT TOI OPEN MEET TODAY
Dates for 1922 Meetings to Be Assigned at
 Meet

Cleveland, O., January S.-Stewards of the Grand Circuit and men prom inent in the horse harness racing game were gathering here tonight for the annual meeting of the stew ards tomorrow and Tuesday to as- sign dates for 1922 meetings. Horse men in the Lake Erie Circuit (half- mile tracks) will meet Wednesday to allot dates.
 President H. K. ,Devereaux of the Grand Circuit will not be able to at tend the meetings, Secretary Win H. Kinnau announced tonight. Detroit, formerly one of the greatest Grand Circuit cities, will probably be a member of the circuit again this year, it was said tonight, with the arrival here of William Penfield, sec retary of the Detroit Driving club, who will tomorrow make application for membership to conduct a meet ing at the DeVonshire track at Wind sor, Ontario, opposite Detroit. The Wentworth track at Windsor is also an applicant for dates, according to President Samuel Mcbride of that track.
 Kenilworth and Windsor tracks are separated by road, and as a result 1t is possible that compro- mise may be reached and that instead of being rivals, both tracks may be given dates and work in harmony in a nine-day or two weeks meet. Un- der the Canadian laws any harness horse race meet Is curtailed to three days in one week at the same track. To comply with the law a schedule may be arranged to race the first three days of week at one of the Windsor tracks and the last three at the other. Both tracks are mile oVals.
 While no official action can be taken until Tuesday. when the stew ards meet in executive session. 1t was learned from an authoritative source that one or both of tho Windsor tracks will be given recognition.
