Qpe of the greatest pitching quels on record in the majors took place ay 2, 1917, hetween Fred Toney Cincipnatl and “Big Jm" Vaughn, Chicago Cubs. The gamo went ten nnlugs, Cin- cinnatl winning, 1 to 0. Toney didn't allow a solitary safety'guring the én- tire Dbattle and for the first nine frames Vaughn also hurled hitless ball, Vaughn faltered in the fenth; however, and was congequently credited with one of the _toughest defeaty in‘baseball annals.

All who know Sheehan 'know him to be a hard workimg. conscientious player who, Ax captain, plays no favorites; so when he throws up his hands in ap- parent disgust he must have had sofne goad reason. Whatever is wrong with the Nats and there are other reports that the trouble extends heyond the ont- fit—it is to be hoped that the dif- ferences will be smoothed out and the outfit will ggain swing into its old time form, Iifteen years ago this month, or on February 22, 1910, to be exact, one of the greatest fights in the history of the lightweight division ook place.
