The year of 1917 will go down in baseball history one of super-pitch { ing, st as 1387 is known as y of super-batting. Whether the edge on the hurlers’ side of the column will be great enough to call for changes ia rules to even up the balance will "be up to the rules committee to decide after the season is over. With less than a month of the sea- son gone, the greatest pitching feats in the history of baseball have been equaled or beaten. Before the first month had been clocked off the season's record of four no-hit, nine-inning games made — by both leagues in 1916 had been equal- ed, in addition to which Fred Toney, the Cincinnati pitcher premier, had done what only two other pitchers have accomplished, pitched 10 in- 1 the | nings thoat a hit or run, i tire of Brooklyn and Hooks Wilt »w York were the other two who accounted ‘for 10 hitless frames. While Toney was tieing a world’s record, Jim Vaughn was helping him set a new one by pitching. nine bit- ‘less innings in the.same.game, the first time in baseball,that two clubs have gone along 19 half-innings with- out a hit. Considering that afl of these rec- ords were made in cold weathe extraordinary pitching, what is to be jexpected when warmer breezes come along to comb out the knots in the pitchers’ arms? That 1917 is to be a year of super- pitching is also:shown, by the’number of one, two and three-hit games al- ready pitched, eclipsing: all former records, — ant Shark hide is said to make good | shoe leather.

Shay has steadfastly refused to talk of the shooting, which is said to have followed an alter- cation over the service he .re- ceived at the cafe. F Until some disposition is made of Shay’s case by the Indianapo- lis courts no change will be made in the management of the Mil- waukee club, the receipts at home games, If Charley: Ebbetts would make such an offer the Red Cross would owe -him money. Russians have left Mush? If its the boarding fiouse variety we have- n't the heart to blame them. This plan of taxing golfers a cent a. stroke for the Red Cross interests us. A month’s salary for a game of golf seems pretty high even for Red Cross, It’s going to be mighty interesting to watch Fred Welsh’s alibis to keep cut of the ring with Kilbane again. Milwaukee promoter has signed Fred Fulton for a bout. Which shows that he still believes Barnum had the right dope. ‘ A large number of women attended the wrestling match, says a dispatch.

These questions naturally suggest themselves when it is considered that Johnson has been able to win only two games out of six starts this year, perhaps the poorest early sea- son record Johnson has ever had. But a casual glance through the; ‘box scores of the games Johnson hasj lost does riot indicate that the peer-| less Walter has gone ‘back very far, | even though 29 other American league} pitchers are leading him in games won and lost. | The box scores show only one game this season which Johnson with any} kind of support and decent breaks! should have lost. In that game he! , allowed nine hits. In hig first defeat Johnson allowed two hits. The next defeat registered against him was the nine-hit affair against New York.

Then Olin quit in a match with Strangler Lewis, a match which was to decide who would wres- tle Caddock ‘for the world champion- ship, the decision to be made by Frank Gotch, the undefeated cham- pion, There is little wonder that the wrestling game has been discredited: The man who pays his money to see a wrestling match now knows it is a 50-50 chance that he will be the goat when the thing is over, At that, it will be interesting to see Lewis and Caddock get together.
