Robert J. Shawkey, one of the pitch
erH on whom Connie Mack relies to
keep the Athletics in the pennant race
next year,' had a fairly good record
during t lie 11)14 season. He finished
third in rank among Connie's twirlers,
taking part In thirty-eight games and
having a percentage of 2.73 hits per
game Only Bressler and Bender had a
higher percentage for the Mackites.
Shaw key started the fourth game in
the world's series contest, but was
taken out at the end of the fifth inning
after three runs had been scored off
his delivery. Pennock finished the
game without a run being made off
him, but the game had already been
lost During the game Shawkey met
with a mishap. He broke a bone Id
his left wrist (not his pitching arm),
but did not know it at the time. Later
he went on a hunting trip to Maine,
but his wrist bothered him so much
that he consulted a specialist, who dis-
covered that one of the small bones
was broken. So Mr. Shawkey is at
present walking around with his arm
in splints.

In the table given here the work at

every team in the American league Is
given against all the left hand hurlers
in the league. It shows that the
curves and shoots handed out by this
class of pitchers are slightly more pus
zling to the star batsmen of B. B.
Johnson's circuit than the stuff of
fered by the right handers.

** Who Will Succeed McLean?
Who will succeed Robert McLean of
Chicago as the international amateur
fee skating champion? That is the
question followers of the racing game
are trying to answer. McLean brought
his amateur career to au end the other

bad received $73 a week for perform-
ing on stage Ice at the Hotel Sherman.

Frauk I'. Walsh Pays his Heaped*
"Lickspittles ol' thi' Jtieh.''
j Chicago, Feb. 20/—The "little broth-
ers of the rich." the captains of indue
;lry and the present wage system were
attacked by Frank P. Walsh, chairman
of the Fcdoral industrial Relations
'commission, this afternoon in a speech
before the City Club at the Black-
stone. His audience comprised many
of Chicago's largest and wealthiest em-
ployers. His plea was for the co-op-
eration and not the separate efforts of
religious, philanthropic, economic and
social workers toward the same end.
"We regard with greater admira-
tion," Walsh said, "the so-called cap-
tain of industry who has shot his way
to tremendous riches through the
ranks of his employees than him who
has gained economic independence by
an invention which has lightened
toil and sweetened life.
"Of a dozen classes, one that is the
worst is that large class of lickspit-
tles who have little or nothing them-
Iselves, but side with and work for bad
•conditions, because they get, or vague-
I ly hope to get, a moiety of the gener-
al spoils.
i "This class is so large and their
combined efforts so vitally assist in
'keeping alive rotten conditions that
ihey deserve to rank ahead of other
I divisions. They are often dubbed lit-
' lie brothers of the rich'—usually vis-
ionleso clerks, briefless lawyers and
so-called leaders of tliougiit wuo ought

| Butlers.
"To them every protest is dema-
gogic. Upon meager salaries themsel-
ves they are hopelessly submerged,
but submissive and servile. They are
product of false teaching, mean ambi-
tion, personal weakness. Because
many of them are not conscious of
wrong doing 1 place them among mi-
nor offenders.
"But look at the other side of the
economic ledger.- There you will find
the millions who are the victims of

Biff Patrol of Dirigibles Over the

Two Lost in Storm.
Rotterdam, Feb. 19.—The Dutch
steamer Helena last Tuesday was over-

Mayor Mitchell Meets Criticism With
Advice to Preachers.
New York, Feb. 17.—Mayor Mitchell
laughed when he heard yesterday that
the Rev. .James V. Chalmers had de-
scribed him at a preachers' meeting as
a backboneless creature who stays up
until three o'clock in the morning
dancing the tango."
"Yes." the mayor confessed. "1
dance now and then, and if some of
those who criticize me for doing so
would dance too tiheir dispositions
might be Improved."
As to the complaints of the clergy-
men that the excise law is not en-
forced the mayor said:
"These gentlemen are well Inten-
tioned and well meaning, all of them.
They really believe that all evil flows
from drink and that if the consumpt-
ion of liquor could be stopped all hu-
man evil would cease—that We would
have the millennium. I do not agree
with them.
They believe that the chief busi-
ness of the police is to enforce the liq-
uor laws. The chief business of the
police is in. ,cad to put down crlm of
violence . iu preserve the peace. Vf-
ter that comes the enforcement of
the sumptuary laws ''
