Wood will have no chance to break this record this year, as the Boston team has but 22 more games to play this season, and Jake Stall! may balk at Wood- twirling nine of them.

Yesterday ho beat Hamilton, of St. Louis, 2 to 1. Six of the 18 games have been shutouts and three of the games were won by a margin of one run. Wood started his professional career with the Hurchlnson team of the West ern association In the season of 1907. This season he was with the Kansas City team and won seven out of 19 games for the Kaws. but Scout Donovan recommended him to the Boston team, and since then he has been in the American league.
