the weather as well as the scoreboard and news of Dodger doings Fortunately for the Cards the Giants had an open date and the washed-out contest will be played today But from this point an there is a

league service bureau with offices in New York This is merely an excerpt from the release but It reveals an Interesting sidelight on a mighty nice relief pitcher 1908 Christy Mathewson hat his name in 56 official Nations league box scores In the course of that stirring season in which the Giants came closer to the pennant than any club ever approached without winning it In 1937 Hugh Mulcahy of the Phils had his monicker in 56 Phils' box scores the record It way get beaten this year by a Giant who on fids planet when Matty was mowing them down! namely Ace Adams king of the Ottlan bull-pen emergency man No 1 any Mm problem No 1 is getting some New York starting ace out of a Jam "Specifically it's the modern National league record Back In the and early when a pitching staff consisted of one (1) big arm like Hoss Radboume plus a right-fielder who could step In and 'spell" the ace the record went higher "This mound staff resemblance to a plumber and his helper by degrees expanded into the present' system as the National league grew and player-limits allowed larger squads of curvers In 1884 it hard tpr Radboume to get into 75 or TOO games In fact it would have been hard not to "Even in 1908 when Matty pitched his rubber arm to the limit in that tight race which eventually was won by the Chicago Cubs in a playoff after the Giants and Cubs finished the regular season exactly tied there were only about half as many pitchers at breakfast in Glanfiand as today "So if young Ace Adams" boro in 14 at Willows GaL and now a Georgia resident manages to top that 56 mark the exploit has merits of sterling worth even though present prospects do not point to a pennant layoff game this year Giants and Cubs "In the first Ill games played by the Giants this year Ace got hisiiaxne into the box score 44 times" TWENTY-ONE Kansas counties are this yew open to pheasant hunting They are: Cheyenne Decatur Ellis Gove Graham Logan Norton Osborne Phillips Rawlins Rooks Russell Sheridan Sherman
