' never heard of Benedict M. Mor

I know, Ben,
who died the

never put on a

Being on the

was a scholar
when it came

Harman Nichols which he
loved. And he probably had
more statistics stacked upstairs
than most baseball writers.

W. NICHOLS
Faahire Writw
His concern mostly wa col
lecting anecdotes and facts about
the little fellow of the minors,
like the Cobbs and others who
grew to rise and shine in the big
time. A good part of his hobby
appeared in the statistical de
partment of a book that told the
story of minor league baseball.
Een helped to compile that fat
volume, which didn't sell very
well, but which is interesting,
even now, to the facts and fig
ure folk.
Today, the baseball writers put
a -finger on the runs-batted-in
department, won and loss rec
ords, homers, stolen bases and
the like.
But Ben told Interesting
things like in 1930, when Julio
Bonetti of Los Angeles in the
Pacific Coast League cut loose
only 66 pitches in a whole game
to .comeup winner. Not only
that, Julio once toiled 64
straight innings without walking
a man.
Modern pitchers are sore if
they have to work more often
than four or five days. But in
1905, a guy named Louis (Bull)
Durham of Indianapolis in the
American Association pitched
and won five consecutive double
headers. Ben tracked down, through
his research, the fastest game on
record. That was in between Mo
bile and Atlanta in the South
ern Association on Sept. 19, 1910.
It lasted 32 minutes. With stal
ling, rhubarbing and wasting
time, a modern game under two
hours is looked upon as awful
fast.
Back in 1920, there was a
pitcher named Rinaldo (Rhino)
Williams, who played with Fort
Worth in the Texas League. Ben
voted him the man least likely
to be named thief of the year.
He was caught 35 timet trying
to steal a base.
Most dangerous pitcher in the
Morgan book of memories was
Oscar Graham of Oakland, in
the Pacific Coast League. In
1903, this wild man on the hill
hit 49 batten. The record stands
and most hitters hop it always
will.
It is nothing for a couple of
teams to throw away or lose a
hundred baseballs or so during
a nine-inning contest. More some
times. .
Balls must have been prec
ious in the old days, for on April
11, 1912, Kansas City and- Co
lumbus in the American Associa
tion played a whole game, using
only one ball. "And it wasn't
nicked up much when the game
was over," said Ben.
Ben dug up the fact that some
of the old-time hitters were
something to admire. On June
15, 1902, Justin (Nig) Clarke, of
Corsicana, in the Texas League
hit eight home runs in eight
times at bat. He also batted in
16 runs. Corsicana won against
Texarkana (in the Texas-Arkan
sas League) by a score of 51 to
3. In all there were S3 hits, 21
home runs.
That game, to be sure, must
have lasted more than 32 minutes.

lines, railroaders said, where the
car shortage is also acute.
Paul Grider, Portland repre
sentative for the Interstate Com
merce Commission, said the

may be asked to extend its em
bargo on grain loadings.
Increased shiploadings at Coos
Bay and Newport were the only
optimistic sides of the car supply
picture reported by shippers.
The improved supply of ships
available for lumber shipments
to the East coast was expected
to ease the railroad burden
somewhat.
Southern Pacific announced

Portland to Take
Direct Interest in
Ship Service
Portland (U.R) The Port
land Commission of Public
Docks Friday resolved to take
t direct interest" in all appli
cations for federal operating sub
sidies affecting steamship ser
vice in the Port of Portland.
City officials said the . move
might be unprecendented in pro
ceedings of a public agency here.
General. Manager Thomas P.
Guerin recommended the action
because of certain practices of
the Pacific Westbound Confer
ence. He said they were siphon
ing away from the Northwest
thousands of tons of cargo a
year that would normally move
through the region's port.
Mo Guarantee
Guerin said Portland now has
no guarantee of direct sailings
to or from the Far East but oth
er Pacific Coast ports have sub
sidy arrangements which guar
antee the sailings.
As its first action under the
new policy, the port commission
decided to intervene in the ap
plication of States Steamship Co.
now before the federal maritime
board for a subsidy from the
west coast to the Orient. Guerin
said the port would present its
theory on the use of all coast
ports by subsidized lines.

BPA Plans for
Construction
Washnigton (U.R) Plans
for a $25,500,000 Bonneville
construction program were dis
closed in testimony by Dr. Wil
liam A. Pearl released Saturday
by the House appropriations
committee.
Dr. Pearl, chief of the Bonne
ville Power Administration, told
the committee that the construc
tion program was designed to
expand consumer service facil
ities to handle new federal pow
er capacity now coming on the
line. The program would begin
July 1.
Asks $15,355,000
BPA asked the committee for
$15,355,000 in constr uction
funds for the next fiscal year
and plans to supplement that
with ten million more in unex
pended balances.
Dr. Pearl said BPA's overall
program for the year would cost
some $32,000,000 but that it
would need only $22,000,000 in
new appropriations.
Most of the money will go
for continued construction of
transmission facilities already
authorized but Dr. Pearl said
there would be about $6,000,000
left for new works.
