While the lowly St. Louis Browns } were trimming the Senators in extra: innings the Yanks were battling 12 exciting stanzas for a 5 to 4 victory over Chicago yesterday. With only 39 games remaining on the schedule the Yankees could lose 26 and still tie Washington even if Bucky Harris’ team won every one of its remaining games. Ted Lyons pitched brilliantly for the Sox in the pinches yesterday untilhe reached the 12th inning. Tit by the strenuous pace, he fo in the winning run by walking Mi jazella with the bases full. Crowder Helps Browns - Alvin Crowder, formerly of the Washington pitching staff, received credit for the St. Louis victory over} his ex-teammates. Crowder releived Ballou in the fifth and pitched eight scoreless innings, St. Louis winning in the 12th, 6 and 5. Walter Johnson, who started in the box for the Senators, retired jn the seventh. Melillo’s sacrifice fly with the bases full and one out sent Sisler home with the winning tally. After three victories in a row over Cleveland, Philadelphia bowed to the Indians, 2 to 1.

In these days of the lively ball, the winning of 20 ball games is consid- ered an outstanding feat, the best exeuse in the world for demanding heavy money for next season. Taking down 20 ball games over a six-months’ campaign doesn’t sound like an extraordinary performance, yet a perusal*of the pitching records of last season will prove it is, It hander made six successive strike- three innings, tying the all- sociation record, and fanned ling the season mark. City victory was an e Blues were outhit by 10 to 6, and committed yet Murray’s effective hurling with the bases occupied Stopped the Indians with three runs le the Blues scraped out seven. Pedr runs after a Louisville error sixth coupled with 13 hits shutout win, to .0 shows that the average number of games in which a pitcher appears is less than 40, which means he must score a victory in every other start. Only Two in 50 Games Only two pitchers in the major leagues last season performed in 50 ball games. John Scott, then lew York, worked in an even 5 while Fred Marberry of Washington got his name in the lineup 64 times. Scott worked in 13 full games, while Marberry, regarded as the game's greatest relief pitcher, toiled in only three complete games. Further proof that the scoring of 20 victories in a season is a note- worthy feat is offered by the pi ing averages of 1926, In the National League no pitcher won more than 20 games and only four—Kremer, Rhem, Donahue and Meado reached that m: In the American League, Uhle Cleveland with 27 conquests and Pennock of New York 0} with 23, were the only pitchers to win 20 or more games. Delving back into the pitching rec- S}ords of the last 20 years one finds ‘oledo at Tndianapc ‘aul. at ‘Kaatds City. Louisville at Milwauke. sresaszes = asaesesera BESS: how unusual. a performance it is for a pitcher to bag 20 of more ball games during a season. There is Jack Quinn, the oldest id a mighty pitcher in captivity, good one. Over a period of 15 years urler, his best rec- ord was made in 1920 when he reg- istered 18 wins, Reuther Reaches Mark “Dutch” Reuther, always an ‘effec- tive--southpaw, only once his ca- reer of 11 years in the big show has réached the cherished mark. His best year ‘was 1922 with+Brooklyn when he won’ 21 games while losing 11. Lhe) 80 great a pitcher as “Bul- let-Joe” Bush had only one big year. That was in 1922 when he won 26 and lost seven, the. only time in his career passed the 20 mark.. A fréak delivery known as the “fork- ball,” stood him in good stead that year. Waite Hoyt, who is one of the eatest right handers in the game, never won 20 victories, He ‘appears to have an excellent chance sis x. Hoyt often ark, but always fell in diferent seasons games once, and 19 ete rly licher to hort a is, the. only pi r to hu series, has only Fennel dew win: >» wi he Senor of. the Cincinnati Ree hag] Golfers Train under the mark. It took Lee Meadows of the Pirates an even dozen years to turn the trick. He finally won 20 games last year for the Pirates. While the winning of 20 ball games may not appear to be a super feat of pitching, the records conclu- sively prove that it is a perfor~ance decidedly out of the- ordinary. In addition, the magnates will tell you that any time a pitcher wins 20 ball games, it costs him considerably more sugar to sign him up for the following season, However, such a pitcher is worth plenty of jack. ————_________—_—_6 | Yesterday’s Games | —____________ By The Associated Fress NATIONAL LEAGUE All games postponed, rain, AMERICAN LEAGUE R oH New York . 5 14 Chicago ... rr innings) Shocker, Moore and Bengough, Col- lins; Lyons and, Crouse, Philadelphia Cleveland Rommel, Shaute and L, Sewell. 8 0 Cochrane; H 12 12 E Washington . 2 St. Louis 1 eer (i2 innings) Johnson, Braxton, Marberr; Ruel; Ballou, Crowder and Sel and ing.
