Now, in 1917, without the services of Mitchell, the Braves are floundering: around, while the Cub team,’ man is full of red blood and pep and | pected happens, ‘which’ Mitchell {s:leading, is breezing along in fine shape. When Wilbur Robinson was acting as‘ Meutenant for “@iants won three-pennants and finished second on another occasion. The Wilbur went to the Robins, whereupon the Giants finished second in 1914, last in 1915, and fifth in 1916. Meanwhile the Robinson crowd over in Brooklyn ody fnished fifth in 1914, third in 1915.and won a pennaat in 1916.

Welsh is 66. “Walking is the greatest exercise in the world,” Welsh declared, after finishing his hike. “Instead of feeling worn out after my long hike, I am in great condition and feel that my ya- cation has done me a-avorld of good.” Welsh finished the hike’ in 18 days and slept in the open all of the time. , « ‘SEYMOUR CALLED “IRON MAN™ Former New York Giant Pitcher Pe formed Most Remarkable Pitching Feat Back in 1896. _ ‘ “They called Joe McGinnity the ‘Iron Man,” says John J, McGraw. “Joo was a glutton for work.

I was with Baltimore then. Seymour Was really a good pitcher. “He performed the most remarkable pitching feat.I ever witnessed. It was back in 1896 or 1807, when Bill Joyce was managing the Giants, Baltimore was playing a series at the old Polo grounds. Seymour pftched the last ~ game, and it happened that I beat him with a triple to right in the last in- ning, Z to 1. “The next day thé Giants were sched+ uled to play us a double-header in Bal+ tlmore. Much to everyone's surprise, Seymour came out to pitch the first] game. By. a strange coincidence he} worked so wetl that the score was] against us 1-to 1 In the ninth inning.| Once more it fell to ray lot to beat Oy with a triple to left: center. “After the uétal short. intermission we came out to play the second gam of the double-header.¢ The battertes} were announced, and to our astonish-| ont and that.of the,crowd Seymour vain the Giant pitcher. “This ‘sounds. unbelievable, but it 1a] true. Cy started his third game agafnst us fo two days, and what is more re-| markable still, he shut/ue,out and wan] the game, 6 to 0. ‘ ““Joe McGinnity was indeed an ‘iron| man.’ He was no more entitled to thie title, however, than«was Cy Seymour 20 years ago, although most fang for eat that Cy ever was .a.pitcher.” —BSURSTEDT - Miss Bjurstedt has always had trou- ble handling a’slow ball with a short, bound.

(Of the Mineola Aviation School. The United ‘States aviation corps has just now the greatest aggregation of college athletes: ever brought to-' gether. At Mineola fiying school alone we could make up an all-Ameri- can’ team:in almost any branch of: sport. Take my- own class, ke example. Cut ofthe 45 men who Entered with | me, there were only five who were not college athletes of local or national reputation. There was George Church of Prince- ton, the tennis champion; P. D.

Airman Dodge Says AKE ’EM weecooccooocs training: Then they changed the re- quirements to include high school graduates, who, in the opinion of the} examining board, have the qualities a flyer must have. i Really first class flyers are born, not made. You would think that a manj who had ‘been driving a racing auto- mobile would have a_big* advantage over the fellow wh8 has never han- dled any kind of a machine. But it doesn’t always work out that way. Some of the men who have learned to fly quickest never drove an, auto or handled any other machinery. Other men who were crack auto drivers nev- er seem to get the knack of handling | an airplane. It scems that if you are | born to fly, you fly, and if you aren't there is not much hope for you. In an auto you have time to think out what you are going to do, but in an airplane you have to do the right thing first d think about it after- ward. Everything happens so fast, thinking is impossible.

SOHNSON 5 Hugh Jennings is one person who believes that it is a bad thing to have players like Speaker suspended unless they indulge in some extraordinarily bad action. He figures the thing from the standpoint of the club owner, and the fan, but admits that the only suggestion he can make is that the playe? be handed a stiff fine, and that the club owner take it out of the offending player’s salary, instead of making good from his own pocket. Ss q “Take a player like Speaker out of the lineup,” says Hughie, “and you can. figure that the receipts of the Cleveland series at Navin field will be lessened 25. per cent. The stars draw people, as well as win games. Cobb‘does it for us. Watch how much larger the crowds are when Johnson is announced to pitch for Weshington than on other days.” -\ !
