SEVEN PITCHERS
10 SHOT OUT
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19. — Seven
pitchers in the 1916 Pacific Coast
League race were credited with win
ning five or more shutout victories
during the year. Of these Piercey, of
Salt Lake, won first honors with a to
tal of eight shutout victories, and So
thern, of Portland, ran second with
six shutout games. With the excep
tion of one of Fittery's games, in
which a relief pitcher was needed in
the eighth inning, all of these shutout
victories were complete games pitched
r, by one pitcher.
Of these seven leading shutout pit
chers, Fromme suffered five defeats,
in which his team failed to make a
run behind him; Piercey suffered
three shutout defeats, and Sotheron,
Ouch and Decannier one each.
In running up his season record of
eight shutout victories, Piercey found
Oakland most to his liking, blanking
the Oaks three times, Portland and
Vernon each twice and San Francisco
once. In his shutout wins against
Oakland Piercey allowed eight hits
in one game, four in another and three
in another; in his shutouts against
Vernon Piercey pitched a five and two
hit game; against Portland he pit
ched a two hit game and a one hit
game; and in blanking San Francisco
he allowed six hits.
Sotheron, of Portland, second high
est in shutout honors, blanked the
champion Los Angeles club three
times, being more than any other
pitcher shut out the pennant winners.
Once Sotheron allowed the Angels
four hits; and each of the other two
times he allowed them only three hits.
San Francisco twice and Oakland
one were Sotheron’s other victims.
Thirteen hits without a run was the
prize shutout performance of the year.
On August 1, Bill Burns, of Oakland,
blanked Portland, 1 to 0, and was
touched for thirteen Beaver hits.
In these days when the football
rules permit of the taking out and
putting back of players during a game
it is the exception when a contest is
decided without a long list of substi
tute players. The University of Ore
gon-University of Washington game
played at Eugene, Oregon, November
4, was one of these exceptions. The
twenty-two players who lined up at
the kickoff were on the field at the
finish of the scoreless game. This is
presumed to be a modern football re
cord.
Few games were played even in the
old days without a substitute player
being sent in. In this respect the
Yale-Princeton game of 1893, when 45
minute halves were played, is historic
in the annals of football. The two
elevens battled through to a finish
without the change of a player, and
the only time taken out was when
Jim Blake, the Princeton fullback, and
Frank 11 inkey, the Yale end, W'ere
. ■ ■
knocked unconscious by a head-on
collision.
Richard Harding Davis immortalized
this game by his story of the scene
in the dressing room after the game,
which Princeton won by a score of
6 to 0, when he described the mud
and blood bespattered victors as sing
ing the doxology, which he termed as
reverent a thing as he had ever wit
nessed.
The totalisator, a betting machine
which for many years has been dis
allowed in New South Wales, is to
come into its own again. According
to latest cable information it is the
intention of the government to legal
ize the "tote” on all race courses in
the state.
The season of 1916 is the most suc
cessful the football team of the Mon
tana State College has experienced for
many years. They played six games.
Two games were won, two lost and
two tied. Washington Boberg, of
Sandy, Utah, was elected captain of
next year’s team.
Followers of football in the North
west are pleased with the resumption
of hostilities between the teams of the
University of Washington and Wash
ington State College. The two insti
tutions are natural rivals, and the
break in athletic relations which oc
curred was generally deplored. The
Thanksgiving game between these two
institutions was one of the fall class
ics of the Northwest in the past.
Christian Bentz, recently elected1
captain of the Montana University i
football team, is the heaviest man
of the Pacific coast chosen to lead his
gridiron warriors. Bentz, who is bet
ter known as "Biitzen" Bentz, for
three years has been a tackle on his
team. Besides being a football player
Bentz w'on his letter on the university
track team, on the wrestling team
and as a basketball player. Last year
he threw the discus 146 feet 6 inches.

Four Ancient
Christmas
Carols
THE ancient Christmas carol
“Holy Night” Is German In Its
■■ origin and is considered by
many persons to he the most
beautiful of all Christmas carols. It
has sometimes been ascribed to Martin
Luther, but the consensus of expert
opinion Is that It Is much older than
bis time and Is one or the oldest of
German folk songs.
Tim carol “God Rest Ye Merry, Gen
tlemen," Is English In Its origin and
dales back to about the beginning of
the seventeenth century, although the
author of the words and the composer
of the music arc unknown The tine
old melody sting to this poem imjs
sesses all the best ijualitlcalIons of a
sterling hymn tune and will probably
last as long as the verses with which
It Is always associated.
Originally the old carol was sung In
polyphonic harmony with the melody
placed In the tenor, ns was the Invari
able custom of the sevent&enth cen
lury. Modern trauscrlptlous of It,
however, have placed the melody In
the upper voice part Instead of the
third voice part, ns formerly. This
carol, too. Is one of the most popular
arid most beautiful In the entire range
of Christmas music.
The caroi “Draw Nigh, immauuel,“
Is one of the oldest pieces of coherent
music In existence, hu<1 both the words
and music far antedate any of the
others. The music Is an old French
melody, dated from the thirteenth cen
tury, although, of course, It has been
baruioutzed to conform with more mod
ern standards.
There Is a most curious but beauti
ful musical effect at the close of this
carol. The words of “Draw N'lgb, Im
manuel,” are about 100 years older
than the music, belug takeu from the
Mozarable breviary of the twelfth oen
tury, and It Is generally believed that
they were taken from the liturgy of
the early Christians at Toledo, Spain,
where the Mozarable breviary was for
mulated.
Another carol, "The First Noel," has
a traditional French melody and prob
ably originated In Breton, although tlio
exact origin of this flue old song Is
•'"’bat In doubt.
