A year ago | Boston reliefers won twenty-two out ol thirty Cronin's best cheices were Joe Hev- ing, who won ten out of twelve, and | Tierson Dickman, who grabbed | eight out of eleven.. Ostermueller and Wilson, between them, won six |out of seven. Detroit, third, a year ago, in re- lief pitcher victories, was second this year with seventeen out of twenty- eight. Luther Thomas was the Ti- | gers’ star with seven straight wins. | New York was third because John- ny Murphy was not as effective as in previous years To offset his poor record, Chandler, Sundra, Had- ley and Donald won nine out of nine in responding to the S. O. S. call. Cleveland rated fourth, the same | as in 1938, winning sixteen and los- ing twelve. The relef work of Bro- aca, Eisenstat, Dobson, Milnar and Feller kept the Indians above the 500 mark in ench victories. | The Athletics, with Caster, Joyce, | Nelson, Beckman and Smtih win- ning ten straight when called upon to finish, came next, winning four- teen out of twenty-seven. Brown Sets Record The Chicago White Sox with Clint Brown, setting a new record for ap- pearances in games without being called upon as a starter, broke even. Only five Chicago pitchers were charged with defeats or credited with victories in relief work, Brown winning eleven and losing ten. Washington fell just one game below the 500 mark, while St. Louis was far below, winning only nine and losing nineteen. The league pitchers of the entire league won 123 and lost ninety-six games for an average of 561, thus showing it paid to change pitchers. | R e | IMPORTATION of live turkeys ! from 58000 pounds in 1937 148,360 pounds in 1938. 15% Canadian Discount B.
