Bushnell, graduate manager of ath letics at the Red and Blue Insti tution. It has been decided to abol ish the rowing sport for th<? dura tion of the war. This move was ac tuated by the S. A. T.

At what age is his prowess su perior to his efforts at other times? A little study of the ageis at which ballplayers have had their great year is interesting. It shows that at about twenty-five or twenty-six the maximum of ef ficiency is reached. Honus Wagner had his great est year in 1900. At least he reached his maximum as a bats man that year and his fielding was never better. In 1900 Honus was twenty-six years old. He batted .380 for the season. Napoleon Lajole had his best year in 1901, when he was twen ty-six. That year the great Frenchman batted for an as tounding total of .422. Cobb's star year was in 1911, when he was twenty-five. That year Cobb batted .420 and amassed 248 hits and 147 runs. When it is considered that there are fow batters who get beyond 100 runs or 200 hits a season it may be seen how far out ahead of the field*Cobb was that year. Matty had something like six teen groat years, but the great est of these was in 1905, when lie was twenty-five. That year Matty won thirty-one and lost but nine games out of forty and pitched three shut-out games against the Athletics in the world scries, an achievement which has never been equaled. Ed Walsh's super year, when he won forty games and lost fif teen, besides saving a number for other pitchers, was in 1908. Walsh was twenty-six then. His record of forty wins has been beaten by only one pitcher, I Chosbro having gone him one j better. Walter Johnson reached his best season In 1913, when he was twenty-six. That year he won thirty and lost but seven games. It Is hard to pick the greatest year of Grover Alexander, who has won more than thirty games during the last three seasons, but he delivered those victories dur ing his twenty-fourth, twenty fifth and twenty-sixth years. Joe Wood won tweny-three games and lost five in 1912. when ho was but twenty-throe, and Rube Marquard was the same age the same year when >io made his remarkable run of nineteen straight games. But the majority of the great stars have been around twenty-five or twen ty-six when they had their best seasons. V J JITNEYMAS LOSES LICENSE Every day will be "gasless" day hereafter for Daniel Wagner, who lost his license and was- lined $25 in the bargain in the police court yes terday for carrying his jitney pas sengers past their destinations and annoying his female patrons.

Big Six is over there, and whoever said Christy Mathewson had not the real courage must dry up now. for Matty is serving with the Chemical War service, probably the moijt deadly that can be selected. Big Six has been the pole etar of every aspiring pitcher for nearly a score of years. When he finally made good in Gotham no athlete ever was so popular. McGram and the Giants' owners made a fortune off this fine big fearless chap whose record is clean as a hound's tooth, from the day be started for Bucknell. Matty was fond of telling how he pitched his first ganie for money, a boy of 13. and ho had to walk seven mileß to some country town. Curved balls were not so well known in those days and this meditative coun try boy had worked up a good one as he silently practiced up against the old barn door. The enemy that day was composltely oldor and more mature, but the Mathewson in short pants and no stockings, flayed them down like Samson with the nifty jaw bone. The career of Christy Mathewson as a collegian at Bucknell has re ceived just brief comment, tyith the baseball patron Matty did not ar rive until 1901, when ho Joined the New York Giants. Year by year Matty Improved until he became "Big Six" of the pitching hill and one of the greatest that ever faced a bat ter. But we have It from Charles D. Cooper, director of a War Camp Community service, that had Matty displayed the same snap and ambi tion in the grid togs that he did on the hurling hill, Mugsy McGraw would not be baseball's Napoleon. Matty was a griddor, according to Cooper, a demon, when he was In the mood, but he had to be pushed and shoved to carry the pigskin, where when batting practice was called for the varsity nine Matty Was the first on the field. "And that's all that Camp Curtin Drowns Willard in Deluge of Sixty Points About the only sporting activity In Harrisburg yesterday was a battle royal twixt Camp Curtin Grammar School and Willard School, in which the former piled up sixty points while the foe could not make one goal. There were moments when it was be lieved that Willard would do the Austrian, ask for peace, but though slaughtered freely she kept battling, with no result. The Camp Curtin tanks went through and over, led by Ouarterback Hylan, who had a stone-wall line to help him. Bassler, Galeback and Lantz all played the game like veterans. The lineup: \ Camp Curtin. Willard Bolton, 1. e. Dally, 1. e. Keener, 1. t. Weeley, 1. t. Graffe, 1. g. Snyder, 1. g. Harling, c." Cunningham, c. Lytle, r. g. Bogar, r. g. Syltes, r. t. Thompson, r. t. Whichella, r. e.

B.—A divorce was yesterday refused Janet Dean, of Tamaqua, from her -husband, J. Harvey Dean, because there was col lusion between the pair to get the divorce. Judge Berger said no di vorce could be granted under such circumstances. The pair parted at the church after their marriage was performed and together. prevented Matty from becoming fa mous as a football player," reports Cooper. Pitchers Are Born Reading between these lines Mat ty's career no doubt proves what Walter Johnson said when he was asked what was his stock In trade. "Pitchers are born and no devel oped," was Johnson's reply. "All I do is wind up and shoot. "As far as I can see, I'm no dif ferent from the others, unless 1 have more spee'd and X did not develop this speed. It is a physical gift." So it was with Mathewson—Hh was born a pitcher and not a gridiron liero. He sat on the side lines when the call was issued for the football practice. He did not tear through the line when he was carrying the pigskin, but he tightened the cap and the belt whfen he saw three run ner, on with no one out. Wn, Good Punter "It's going back a few days to talk about Mathewson as a football play er," commented Cooper, but I saw that big boy and I know what he could do when he wanted to. Punt'' That was Matty. I doubt if the game has produced a greater punter than Mathewson. And it was Matty's punting, as Cooper explained it, which made Bucknell such a powerful football squad In years ago. "Why Matty had the other fellows groggy chasing the pigskin," continued Cooper. "As for drop kicking. Matty did not have a superior in the East. He could go back to the 40-yard line, to the 50- yard mark and lift one between the posts. But football simply wasn't Matty's hobby." Football heroes pawn their fame in their hearts. They would not trade the touchdown which won the interscholastic or collegiate title for a no-hit game in a world's series, so we have discovered that Matty wus not a football hero. May Give Military Status to Army Welfare Men Washington, Oct. 8.->-Negotiatlons are in progress between state depart ment officials and Provost Marshal General Crowder and representatives here of the French government to prevent agents of the American Red Croßß,.

But centuries hence, when I.elinnou ■porta Exchange the merry bunk) They'll tell how Henry Blnner Munsnered u German skunk. From a casual glance at tho Leb anon newspapers we gather that that city and its environs, especially the village of Fredericksburg, are un duly agitated ovor a sporting event which we would hardly notice were it not in a vague manner associated with the war. It appears that Henry Binner, a cigarmaker, in hiß utter detestation of all Germans was wont to allude to them as "skunks." Thus this animal bore an odium even more obnoxious than the one bestowed by nature. The Lebanon nnrratlves say nothing about this cause for revenge, but the way the skunk battled Henry indicates a stronger emotion than or dinary maliciousness. It shows that even a slcunk hates to be called Ger man. Henry wotted not of this injustice the other morning when lie saw Friend Skunk in his cellar. His only thought was: "Five dollars for the hide. ' One daily paper account, re lates: "He first consulted Cyrus Smith, an old-time t.rapper of the town, and then, fortified with correct informa tion how to nab the animal back of the neck, etc., he waded into the sub terannean cavity to beard Thomas in his lair, with Cy Smith at his heels carrying the flashlight.

Makers a full cellar In the place, the rear part being confined to an oft-set, or n ' r chamber, and Thomas sought shelter In the nethermost part of this cavity as a dugout. Blnner was there fore compelled to crawl on all fours to the attack. With dexterity that did him great credit, the attacker grabbed Thomas by the scruff of the neck, but the Instructions did not hold out entirely, for Instead of Thomas being at his mercy he wriggled around and seized Uinner's thumb In a vice like grip betweeri'hls teeth. Without Gas Masks "Air. Blnner let out a whoop that rattled the rafters and backed out of the hole In the number of seconds that. It had taken minutes to enter, and made for the open uir without taking notice that he was dragging the cat along, for the air was redo lent of the German trenches, and both men had forgotten to take gas masks with them. For a moment It seemed that all the mustard bombs, gas Bhells and stinkpots in Bill Hohenzollern's despicable army had been smashed all at once in that vicinity, and Thomas at one time hud a chance of making an ignoble getaway like his German prototypes, but once in the open air Blnner recovered his sense of justice as well as of smell and sight, and for getting his own pain and bleeding thumb, he got a better hold on the neck of that pestiferous.
