Aiwa a fair question, and a simple one| when applied to teams. But pitch. | ors—quite a differert case, if more than two are involved in any one ment best statistical minds 1 baseball, if any, are now engaged | in ‘solving the great mystery of whether Nehf won a game, didn’t, and whether Joseph | Genewich didn't lose two of them,, or did. Nehf seems 20 nhave the better of the argument at the current' writing as ke has his victory of- ficially recorded, while ‘he new| Giant right nander thus far h been able tc dodge only one of| the defeats which seem rightfully to be his. ! Nehf's game was a 15-inning engagement against the Giants in| Chicago on their second $rip west. | or Artie pitched some 13 innings of | \ {in favor of his losing also the Chi- ', that contest, felt himself weaken. ing, voluntarily left the box, and| saw the Cubs win by 2 to 1 in! the fifteenth after more or less indifferent.-work by his relife men PRECEDENT FOR DECISION The official scorer awarded the victory to Nehf on the grounds that the veteran southpaw had performed the most able work! of any of the three Chicago pitch- ers—and the scorer had something approaching precedent for his act. It long has been the custom in the major leagues to credit a vic- tory to a home pitcher who works eight good innings, weakens in the ninth and gives way to a man| who performs little or no labor in the box, and then sees his team £0 out and win in the last of the ninth, Tom Zachary won such a game in the 1924 world series—24 hours after it had been played. The visiting pitcher may win a game in a similar manner when he weakens in the eighth and sees his team come from behind in the first half of the ninth. The Chi- cago scorer reasoned, and with uncommonly sound logic, that if the hard and fast rule could be stretched half an inning in a regulation game, why not two in- nings in an extra-inning struggle? Particularly for a gallant old war- -horse like Art Nehf? Some of the sticklers insisted that John Heydler reversed his scorer, but $0 far he has allowed the game to stand for Lil’ Artha. THE CASE OF GENEWICH The case of Mr. Genewich is ex- actly the reverse of Nehf's. On the third invasion of Chicago the Giants led by 5 to 3 going .into the last half of the ninth. The Cubs tied the score on Geréwich!} and had a man on first wien he was relieved. Frod Blake, the first batsman to face the incoming pitcher, singled, sending Gene.! wich's runner to third. On the | next play the man from third was| cut down at the plate. On a grounder to Jackson, ths batsman reaching first and Blake second. A safe hit then scored Blake with the winning run. The scorer in this ’ instance EBALL | charged the defeat to Jix ner, the second pitcher aulk- ause base.” True enough, but Gene wich left the winning run on hase and could not escape liability er's choice play happened to take that identical runner from th paths at the expense placi a man on the paths against new pitcher. Instructions from presidents the major leagues to officia ers emphasize that the retiring pitcher is responsible for whatever number of runs he leaves on the hases—regardless of the identity of the men who eventually score the of scor- 5 them. In similar situation a bur, although earl game, Genewich was the defeat. He put on h run which sent the Pirates in the lead which the Giants ne tied, and he lost. The chances are ali a n, Pitts- ago decision after it is reviewed by John Heydler, —,—— 1S MUME RUN EVERY FIVE YEARS CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—Every five years is home run year with Red Faber, veteran pitcher of the Chi- cago White Sox. Faber has hit two home runs In 1923 he smacked one into since he came to the big leagues. the left field pavilion at the Yan- kee stadium. During the Sox recent inv of the East, “Red” hit one the Yankee right field stands. ————.— ST. LOUIS CITY LEAGUER GOES TO BIG SHOW AT 17 ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.—Raymond A. Egan, 17, second baseman of a municipal league team, has real- ized an ambition that most boys attain only in a dream. He will go South with the St. Louis Cardinals next year to try for a place on the team. Charley Barrett, a scout, saw his possibili- ties and Egan signed a one-year contract. Egan hits from either side of the plate. e MARTHA SOCIETY The Martha Society will hold the first regular meeting of the season Friday, September 7, at 2:30 o'clock in the church par-| ler.
