Both have com-| mitted but one error. Jernberg has| had 31 attempts over Koshak's 28, so, technically, has the higher av- erage of .967. Koshak has .964. In third place is Bob Boyd, Legion catcher, with .960.

A final re- | ilease of official pitching statistics still leaves the selection of the City Baseball League’s No. One hurler for the 1935 season, in doubt. Mc- Alister, with the strong Legion team pack of him, won nine games in ten | starts. Erskine, a Moose, won six in { ten. However, there is this statistical data to consider: Erskine allowed but 13 earned runs in 62 innings; McAlister permitted 27 earned runs in 73 frames. And Erskine led the loop in strike-outs, whiffing 78 bat- ters. But here are the statisfics of | every pitcher who either won or lost at least one game: |Name Team InSo W Hit Er W L |J.

SPORT BRIEFS . o0 00 000000 000 CITY LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP Doughbbys Beat Moose in Final Game of Year by 4 to 3 Count RESULTS YESTERDAY Legion 4, Moose 3 (postponed game; called end sixth, dark- ness). A broken thumb had much to do with the Legion winning the cham- pionship of the City Baseball league for the first time in 14 years. In a postponed game last night at Baseball Park—the final contest of the 1935 season here—the Legion defeated the Moose, 4 to 3, to win the second-half title. Because that same club also had captured the first-half gonfalon, it became 1935 City League champion without the necessity of a Little World Secies. And Tom Halnes' broken thumb had much to do with that critical game, postponed repeatedly because | of rainy weather. Haines is the reg-’ ular Moose cateher. He appeared last night with an injured thumb, 0 was put out in right field. Dave Turner, a fine pitcher, but inex- perienced when it comes to the| catching department, volunteered to be Black Sox backstop. Passed Ball Fatal In the fifth inning, with the Le- gion at bat, the score was tied, 3-all. Joe Snow, by virtue of a stinging| single to right field, and Bob Boyd's one-base ply, was perched on third. | Pitcher Claude Erskine steamed one at Ward McAlister, the next Le- gion batter. It got away from Tur- ner, and in came Snow with what proved to be the winning run on a| passed ball. True the veteran Haines might have erred on the same play —but that broken thumb figured, nevertheless. X ‘The Legion started things with a riot of scoring in the wvery first frame, John Koshak was hit by a pitehed ball, went td second on Ken Junge's neat single to left and romped on to third on an outfield error. He scored a moment later on Turner's first passed ball, a high| piteh which he should have stopped Boyd brought Junge in with a rousing triple to deep right. The Legion catcher scored the third run when McAlister pumped & one- base ply through short. Then, with the chance of a Little ‘World Series playoff glimmering, the Moose got busy in the second. Turner was safe on a flelder's choice. He went to third on Jimmy Manning's single, spiking the rub- ber as Haines rifled one down the third-base line. Legion Err The Black Sox took advantage of two Legion errors in the third to score twice and tie the tally at 3- all. Fred Schmitz was hit by & pitched ball, and moved to the hot' corner on Stan Grummett's hit to Wilson Foster which the Legion third-baseman kicked for a boot) In the mix-up on the play, alert | Schmitz dashed to third for a stolen’ base.
