WHITE'S RECORD CHALLENGED Chicago, May M. Howe, of- jlficiai statistician of the American league, gave out figures showing that "Doc" White, of the Chicago White Sox does not hold the record for consecutive scoreless innmgs, as had been published recently. Mr.

Howe could not tell "off-hand" whether one else had done better than Walter Johnson of Washington, but said it was probable the latter already had passed the record with his 52 2-3 innings to date. Investigation today revealed that on September 9, 1904, Cleveland scored' three runs off White, though Chicago Won the game 5 to 3. The final Cleveland run was made In ninth Inning of that game and therefore five games and one Inning of the sixth White did not allow a run. White's best record, 45 innings, was made In games against Cleveland September 12; St. Louis, September 16; Detroit, September 19; Philadelphia, September 25; New York September 30 Scoreless St.

Louis broke the scoreless record by countlrig In the secontl inning of the game on October 7. Johnson's record Is unofficially said to have been outdone by Coombs of Philadelphia Americans in 1910 when Coombs pitched 531-3 consecutive scoreless innings. Mr. Howe said he would go through the official scores to ascertain Coombs' record. oooooooooooooooo YESTERDAY'S RESULTS.

S. A. New York, Jlay athletes are getting praise instead of censure as a result of Jim Thorpe's exposure. Walter St. Denis in the Globe says; "With the whole affair out of the way, the taste it has left in the mouths of athletic enthusiasts the woild over is something in the way of a surpiae.

When Big Jim was bawled oflt last winter everybody threw up his hands and yelled "Go(jd night," "It's all off," and like words portraying dismal dismay. A tremendous yell from the English papers was looked for, but Instead the British writers saidf: "It's not up to us to do an.v kicking for we have worse than Jim Thorpe right in our midst." From all parts of the athletic earth came at once expressions of keen regret over the Thorpe incident and also admiration for the fearless way in which the situation was handled by the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States and the American Olympic committee. "The trend of the feeling over the Thorpe case was clearly shown at Geneva last Tuesday when, after the American got up and made the motion to award Thorpe's trophies to Bie of Norway and Welslander of Sweden, the entire congress of sixty delegates got up and cheered wildly for the Americans; and on top of this the English delegates (think of It, the Britishers) offered a resolution of congratulation to the Americans that was passed unanimously."
