BAREFOOT SETS 2 MINUTE GOAL FOR SINGLE "G"

Owner Enters Famous Pacer in Eighteen Grand Circuit Races Wayne Horse to Run With William.

CAMBRIDGE CITY. Ind., Jan. 13. Single G (2:074), sensation of the half-mile tracks in the 1914 campaign, one of the best prospects ever tracked in from Indiana, and already as a 3-year-old one of the stars of the horse world, 'will race in eighteen events in the Grand Circuit next year. This is the announcement of V. B. Barefoot of Cambridge City, who. with his brother, E. L. Harefoot of Cowen, own the speeder. Horsemen re predicting that Single G will win a large majority of the races in which he is entered, despite the fact that he will compete with such horses as William and other stars of the pacing world. Dick Jamison of Philadelphia, will drive the horse in the coming season. The pacer is now at 'winter quarter stables here and is being ?iven daily workouts. "Before Sept. 1 Single G will have made a mile in 2:00 flat," said E. L. Barefoot, one of the brother owners of the horse. "I would be willing to back this assertion with money. He vill be the sensation of the Grand Circuit, and many horsemen will back him to win over William. Barefoot indicated that the horse would be entered in the 2:08 paring class in the roming Grand Circuit races in 1915. vrom many standpoints Single G is me of the best horses ever turned out n Indiana and nation-wide attention as been attracted through the senational performances and rapid rise t this Indiana pacer. The horse was Considered worthless a year ago. How the horse rose in value from i worthless bundle of skin and ones," and how he trimmed almost verything in the pacing class last cation is a matter of history now. .tit it is interesting to note in passing bat the horse that was considered orthless a year ago cleaned up ,f),S0o in clear money for its owners i the last racing season.

JAMES ALMOST BROKE PITCHING RECORD GOES AFTER PREMIER HONORS IN 1915

The Boston Braves Special Issue of the Baseball Magazine has a great story on Pitcher James: m Bill James, though at the age when most players are lucky to be fairly started, hasproved himself last year one of the diamond's great natural pitchers. With a superb build for a twirler, Immense speed, great strength and endurance, he blazed his way to the front on sheer natural ability. With the further acquisition of experience be should be one of the greatest all around pitchers of history. Some day he may yet break the pitching record which he came so near shattering in the season just past. The batting of Hank Gowdy was the feature of the series. But the one game contributed by long Bill James was the most perfect piece of twirling skill seen in a world's series in many a day. Jarres needed, no grand world's series send-off to bring his name before the public eye, for he had just completed one of the best seasons a pitcher ever had. But there is no discounting the fact that his wonderful feat in holding the redoubtable Athletics to two lean hits in nine innings would have been counted an unheard of prodigy but one short year ago. William James was born in Iowa Hill, Cal. All his life save that spent in baseball has been passed in California. In winter he resides most of the time at Oroville Hill, part of the time in San Frajicisco. He is a great hunter and fisherman, a genuine lover or the open air. A typical athlete, he is a born pitcher so far as build is concerned, and from what he has already accomplished in that line there is no doubt that his vocation has been well chosen. His first play for money was with the Hammonton team managed by Emmet Schofield, who used to be a member of the Seattle club. Through the advice of his manager, James signed with Seattle while still in his 'teens, though the influence of his family prevented him from reporting till a year after. They were set against baseball, as they had quite a different career in view for him. And for a year their influence was strong enough to overcome the lure of the diamond. In the end, however, baseball triumphed and James went to Seattle. This was in 1912, and he had a grand record on his first appearance. Among other notable achievements he won sixteen straight games. He had remarkable speed but, as he himself admits, but little else. Nineteen hundred and fourteen found him in fine shape, a rejuvenated team behind him, the best of management, and the rest is history. How James burned through the circuit with his two great teammates, Rudolph and Tyler, has been written in indelible character in the annals of the season just passed. But great as was his record there was one feature of it that couldn't help but prove disappointing to the great pitcher.

ROACH SIGNS FAST TEAMS FOR GAMES

"Y" Coach Makes Dates With Dayton Gyms and Columbus Five.

The next game will be Saturday night when the team journeys to Middletown for a return game -with the Brotherhood five. On Jan. 2:5 the strong Dayton Gyms will be brought here for a game. This is a team that all fans will welcome as its reputation is all to the good. On Feb. 6 the team goes to Connersville for a return game -while the High Standards of Dayton will probably be here on Feb. 13. The Columbus, Ind., five will bebrought here on Feb. 20 while the Muncie "Y" winds up the schedule as made to date playing a return game on Feb. 27.

PITCHER BILL JAMES. James had won nine straight games when he struck unexpected opposition at Pittsburg. He pitched grandly, the game going into extra innings, but in the thirteenth round the victory ebbed against him, the final count being three to two. Certainly there is nothing discreditable in losing such a game as that. But the unfortunate part of it from James' standpoint was that after this unexpected and undeserved rebuff he went right on winning, never stopping until he had annexed eleven more victories. What does this mean? asks the unenlightened reader. Merely this, that James was robbed, by the most untoward and unfortunate of circumstances, from breaking the world's record for victories won. Twenty-one straight victories might and should have been the count. To have such a record marred in the middle by an undeserved defeat of 3-2 is a bit of hard luck that might discourage any pitcher.
