Me- Graw is pinning his to Fred Toney, Jess Barnes and Rube Benton, while Kid Gleason's aces are Eddie Clecotte, Urban Jaber and Claude Willams. The Giant's leader also has il Causey, Jean Dubu¢ and Poll Perritt to help the lig three, but they are by mo means reliable. The White Sox also are carrying Schellen- back, Danforth, Kerr and a semi-pro named Sullivan to be used now and then when Gleason's regulars need a [rest or in the evenit of a surfeut of double headers. But the New York and Chicago teams, unless new box- men of first-rate quality can be ob- tained, must each get along with three regular hurlers. Mickey Welch, once 8 star pitcher for the Giants back in 1888 and 188¢ when the National league schedule was limited to 124 games.deciared the other day that with 140 games to be played by each of the big circuits this season the pennant could be won by a team relying on three or fogs good pitchers. Welsh pitched 47 games in 1888 and 41 in 1880. The giants' other boxmwan in 1888 were Keefe, who wie used in 22. In 1889 Keefe pitched 41 games. Ned Crane 28 and Hank O'Day 28. The Giants récord in 1888, when they captured their first National league pennant, was 84 victories, 47 defeats and 641 » e, Bronchiti Biking, Ete. 5 ereign tonic : the EH q ércentage. They again captured fst honors in 1889, with 83 won, 48 lost and 689 percentage. - Gleason, although he admits that he needs at least ore more seasoned boxman, believes that the WHhité Sox will pull through. He always has argued that three or four cap- able pitchers, worked regularly, can produce belter ts than seven or eight, some of whom must lose their effectiveness ag a result of Jmaclivity Gleason learged the intrfcacies of baseball ds a member of the Balti more Orioles, minsged by Edward Hanlon, more than twenty years ago The Orioles who won the pennant in 1854, 1805 and 1896, never carried more than five pitchers, McMahon, Hawke and Riper were thé boxmeén in 1894, Hoffer, Me Mahon, Hémming, Esper and Arthur kson did the wor in 1805, while in 1896 Hanlon's Strategists were Hoftéer, Esper, Pond, McMahon and Hemming, Gleason, therefore, is try- ing to take a leaf out of Hanlon's | book. When the Bostons won pennants in 1872, 1873, 1874 and 1875, the ate A. G. Spalding was the only pit- ger under contract. Spalding pit- chéd the 60 games for the Chicagos in 1876 ha théy finished oft top, playing 68 contests. Tom Bond pitched all of Boston's games in 1877 and 1878, the Beansters witining two championships. John M, Ward and i Bobby Mathews were the pitchérs for the champion Povidence team, Jit won 50. games and lost 25 in 1875. > L Capt.

The Pirates wee champions in 1901, "1902 and 1903, playing sche- dules of 140 games, but they got along with few pitchers in-each cam- paign, Chesbro, Tannahill, Lever and Phillippe did the work the first year. Doheny helped them during the second, while Lever, Phillippe, Kennedy and Dohney shouldered the entire burden in 1893. ~In 1904 and 1905 the Giants were pennant winners, playing 164 games each year. MoGraw used five pit- chess, Mathewson, MoGinnity, Ames, Wiltse and Taylor, thé bulk of the work 'being done by Matty and the famous iron man.

The Fill'es in 1915, had eight fingers; éhé Brooklyns scofed with seven in 1016, and the Giants who headed 'he standing in 1817, used seven--Schrupp, Benton, Peér- Tutt, Sdldee, Tesresu, DPemaree and Anderson.

The bout between "Jack Britton, the welterweight champion, and Ted Lewis in Jersey City recently is the twentieth meeting between the pair, and folks have. ceased take seri. ously their efforts, despite the fact that Britton forgot himself and knocked Lewis out the last time they met. There seems tobe some unl mosity among them, engendered by that last fight, and the boxers are promising divers kinds of damage to dach other.
