Two members of tHe Pittsburgh Pirate pitching staff have shown a continued run of high-class pitching since the season opened. They are Harold Carlson and Elmer Jacobs The former has won three and lost two games, but one of his defeats should not have been accomplished under the circumstances. Carlson was charged with a eet-back in Chj- cago after holding the pesky Cubs to two hits while his mates were mak- ing 11 and drawing six bases on balls oft*fhe delivery of Jim Vaughn How- ever, they left 16 runners stranded on the base-paths and the youngster went down with the rest of the heap.

A Popular Young Toronto Ath-| Channell, | | GREAT SEATING RECORD, | | | | 'Toronto has produced many cham- | pions in various fields of athletic "activity, but none who have worn so well and lasted so long at the top of the ladder as Fred J. Robson, the speediest skater of his time. And now, after twenty-two years of com- petition, he is apparently able to still hold his own, not with mediocre com- petitors, but with all comers, though he has put away his racing skates for good, so far as open competition is concerned, and is devoting the time he has to spare for his favorite sport to the commendable end of encour- aging ambitious youngsters and in the hope that a worthy successor may be developed from among the talent that Toronto surely has. To mark his retirement from ac- tive competition, his many friends and admirers propose to present him with a suitable and enduring re- minder that a prophet is not without honor among his own, It takes the form of a diamond-studded medal, with forty brilliants ornamenting the design, twenty-nine of the sparklers forming the champion's initials in a monogram, Freddy Robson is of the physical type occasionally described as "little, but oh my!" He began racing in 1885 on a pair of skates that he made him- self, and the same year he won the junior championship. time on his career was one of un- qualified success, and he held the On- tario cham p for nine years. In 1900 he won the 220-yard Canadian able to hold it -for five consecutive years. In 1904 he won the Canadian indoor championships, and the same year skated a dead heat with Morris Wood in a mile race at Pittsburg, the time, 2.41, being a world's record. His record of .19 1-5 for 220 yards, made in the same season, stood for seven years, until he beat it himself, He was the hurdle-skating champion for a period of twelve years, and after being an active competitor for nineteen years he made three new world's records. There was not an American champion that Robson did not. defeat at some time or another, and he shone in other sports, too, being a first-class bicycle rider and foot-runner, as well as a coxswain under the coaching of Jimmy Rice. For the period of seventeen. years he had the advantage of the atten- tion and skill of his friend Billy Wells, who trained him for his great performances. : Some of his achieve- ments are best indicated in the fol- lowing statistics from the records: 50 yards, 4 4-5 seconds, Toronto, March 17, 1916 (world's record). 60 yasds, 6 seconds, Pittsburg, Feb. 28, 1916 ( d's record). 75 yards, 7 4-5 seconds, Pittsburg, Feb. 29, 1916 (world's record), 100 yards, 10 seconds, Toronto, 1907 (Canadian record). 220 yards, 18 seconds; Bostom, Jan, 31, 1911 (world's record). 440 yards, 37 seconds, Turomto, Feb, 11, 1913 (world's record).

George Bonhag's figures ot 6.28 3-5 for a one-mile: handicap walk mdlle last Saturday at New York will not be accepted by the A. A. U. 'Record Committee, and George Goulding's legitimate record for the distance made in Toronto last year will be recognized as the world's best record. Herman Obertubbes- ing, a member of the A. A. U. Re- | cord Committee, and Fred W. Ru-| bein, president of the Metrcipolitan | | Association, are only two of many | | other patrons of amateur sport who | regard Bonhag's performance as of | the trick order. Most of the ex-| | perts who saw Bonhag walk on Sat- { urday saw little resemblance be-| | tween his mode of locomotion and | | that of Golding, who has never been lacoused fairly of violating the { rules. i {i In an interview Mr. Rubien said: | { "I will not write the record com- {mittee that Bs$nhag did not walk | fairly, but we cannot allow records {thit are not made fairly, and Bon- hag has no right to assume that he i heel-and-toed aécording to the rules. | i His record will not be recognized by our body." REAL REASON WHY DA RCY Refused to Join Army Under Bri- tain's Colors. A New York paper says: Why did | Les Darcy shun the idea of fighting | for England Was it physical fear? | Hardly anyone who could battle like | the Maitland wonder could be called | a coward. Here is the real reason, | as told by the late fighter to a Col- | umbus, Ohio, man. Years ago the | head of the Darcy family lived in Ireland. His political beliefs offend- | ed the English and he was summar- ily banished to Australia. Here, | erway from kith and kin, the youth- | ful Leste grew to manhood and learned the story of the wrong done I'his familyg~ With no 'hope of his | people ever being alowed to return to their native bogs, it is no wonder that Les did not want to fight for the nation which had exiled his father. But while he would mot right, he did not shirk altogether, but went over the island giving ex- | hibition bouts which netted the Red | Cross and other societies large sums of money which -were expended in the care of the wounded. Stories , might also be told of his goodness {to widows and others made destl- tute by the war. This is no defense; it is "simply the story as told by Darcy to' his friend. Morris Has Better of Moran. Carl Morris, of Oklahoma, out- | fought Frank Moran, of Pittsburg, {in nine out of ten rounds in New York. Moran was very weak at the | final bell, but was fighting desper- | ately up to the last. Morris weigh- ed 224 pounds and Moran 199. From the outset, Morris crowded ! Moran, driving short rights and lefts !to the body and short right upper- | cuts at close quarters. Moran cut | Joose.in the fifth rround, landed two \ right swings on Morris' head and { face and forced the big fellow to the | ropes. Moran then tried another | swing, but his strength failed him.
