BY FREDERICK q. LIEB.
Total, 10 years D..

HE player who holds the rec
ord for receiving the most
- bases on balls i'll single
game is Walter Wilmot. former fly
chaser for the Chicago. Washington
and New York National League
clubs. While playing with Ansons S
Chicago Colts on August p, 1891,
Walter outguessed the opposing
pitcher to such an extent that. he
ambled down to first six times. That
is the most walking any player has
done in one contest since big league
records have been kept.
The nearest approach to Wilmot's
ambling stunt of thirty-two years
ago was reached by Roger Peckin
paugh, former Yankee captain and
shortstop, on June ., 1919. when Peck.
leading off for the Yanks, drew five
passes in the same game.
Wilmot never won any special fame
an a hitter, though, over a period of
outfielder. and a speedboy on the
base paths. He could go back for
them, and was quite a favorite in
Chicago after the Brotherhood war
broke up AnSon s OLD team
Wilmot broke into the National
League in Washington in the open
ing game Of the 1883 season. The
Senator's were playing the New York
Giants that day, and the recruit out
fielder failed toy make a, hit in four
attempts off Titcomb, the New York
hurler. However his mates had little
better luck, as Titcomb won the
game by a score of to 0.
Hank ODay, the veteran umpire
Connie Mack. manager of the Ath-
letics, and the late Arthur Irwin
were fellow players of Wilmot on
that Washington National League
team of 1883.

BENTON FULLY CLEARED
IN DECISION BY lands

CHICAGO. March 9.-The name OF
j. (Rube) Benton today was without
official stigma. making him the hrst
major league base ball player TO
emerge unscatched from accusation
hurled in connection with the world
series scandal of 1919.
His eligibility to return to the en-
cinnati Nationals questioned on tne
allegation that he had prior kno"l-
edge that the Chicago Americans
would lose to the Reds. the big pltcher
was exonerated in a decision yester-
tiay by kencSaw Mountain Landls,
base ball commissioner.
The former federal jurist held that
at no time had charges of dishonest
playing been filed against Benton. ana
that the scandal accusation should
have been made when it first became
known of. and not two years later.
Benton played last season with st.
Paul in the American Association,
going there from a siX-and-a- half
year stay with the New York Ma
tionals to which he went from Cln-
cinnati. He finished second in asso-
citation standings last year and then
was transferred to Cincinnati.

WHMOT GAINS PASS MARK
WITH SIX WALKS In GAME


Wilmot hit .3o1 for Washington in
1889, and had attracted attention by
his ability to spear fly balls Prac-
tically the entire Chicago National
team deserted to the Brotherhood in
1890. and Arson was obliged to build
up a new club of youngsters, which
was nicknamed "Anson'S Colts" One
of the colts brought on from Wash
ington was Walter Wilmot, who re-
for the next six years.
Wilmot went over the 800 mark
only three times, recording his best
mark, .331. in 1894. His speed also
was a. great asset to him on the
bases, and in two seasons, 1890 and
1894, he stole as many as seventy
six bases. His lifetime batting aver
age is .2s1.
Twice in his career, on August -.
1889, and on June %, 1890, Wilmot
drove out two homers in a game.

Editor Newark LEADER

people of Newark and Licking county,
and that a strong effort would be
made to 20 over the "top" in getting
signers for these petitions, for | have
long been an ardent advocate of such
a law.
Some there are even among Golden
Rule people, who are not highly
familiar with the benefcent results,
both material and ethical, of an Old
Age Pension Law; these should be
instructed by the ones circulating the
petitions.
All Golden Rule citizens of Newark
and Licking county, / feel sure, will
gladly sign the petitions, and to that
noble act, will add their best efforts
in spreading sentiment in favor OF
the greatest suggested civil law of all
time, save perhaps the Child Labor
Law, which was so ruthlessly destroy
ed by VIGOROUSLY partisan supreme
court.
An Old Age Pension Law will do
much to correct our imperfect civili-
zation; it will do great deal to i'm
prove conditions among many mil

alton, it will be the best accomplish
ment of those interested in the holy
