He stayed for an hour or more and was so gay and carefree that Nelda felt she’d only imagined he was disturbed over having his mother’s secretary see him here. Nelda’s thoughts kept ‘drifting to Bill. She felt sorry for him. but only as a figure in the distance— the tall. brown. voung man with the look in his blue eves that had come out of his mysterious past.

Get your truck?” “My brothers went after it the next day.” “Why—l didn’t know you two knew each other!” Doris ex- claimed, her manner plainly be- traying she’d meant them as a sur- prise for each other. Nelda said nothing. She was thinking that Bill hadn’t called a mechanic after all. but had done | the work himself. Still feeling compunetion for deserting him that day. she re- solved to be very nice to him for this evening. The _conyersation.. drifted _ to farming and its problems.

The first group embraces those who bore | the brunt of the campaign and pitched at least ten complete | games; the second, those who par- | ticipated to some extent in a minimum of ten games; the third, all others who took part in a championship contest. The percentage of games won and lost is given, with notation of the relative position of each pitch- er, this special record being sup- plied in order that comparison may be made with the official earned rin rating. Turner The Leader James R! Turner, Boston, in his first’sedson; ‘led the pitchers in earned run percentage, with a mde! "éf! 038. “Turner pitched most complete games, 24, and with Louis W. Fette, a teammate, and Lee T. Grissom, Cincinnati, tied for pitching most shutouts, five. Hugh N. Mulcahy, Philadelphia, pitched in most games, 56, tieing the modern record held by Chris- topher Mathewson, New York, made in 1908. Mulcahy gave most bases on balls, 97, and with Leroy E. Parmelee, Chicago, and Harold Kelleher, a teammate, tied for most hit batsmen, seven. Parme- lee made most wild pitches, 11. New League Record Mace S. Brown, Pittsburgh, finished most games, 27, and by taking part in 50 games, none complete, established a new league record. The former high mark was 45 games, held jointly by Adolph J. Liska and Roy E. Hansen, both of Philadelphia, made in 1933 and 1934, respec- tively. Claude W. Passeau, Philadel- phia, pitched most innings, 292; faced most batsmen, 1276; allow- ed most hits, 348; most runs, 158, | and most earned runs, 141. Carl O. Hubbell, New York, for the second consecutive year, had the highest won and lost percent- age, .733, winning 22 games and losing eight. His total of victories was the highest in the league for the second successive year. He al- {So struck out most batsmen, 159. Wayne LaMaster, Philadelphia, another five-year man, lost most games, 19.

Alexander won 28 games in 1911. Three’ pitchers, two less than in 1936, pitched 20 or more complete games. INDIVIDUAL FIELDING _ FEATURES National League fielding rec- ords for the 1937 season are tivid- ed into two groups, the first‘¢om- prising players who served at one Position in 10 or more gates, and the other showing those in few than 10 games. Leadership at each position is based on participation in 100 games or more. Here's The Leaders Adolph Camilli, Philadelphia, leads the’ first basemen, with a percentage of .994. Burgess U. Whitehead, New York, heads the second basemen, with .974. Arthur C. Whitney, Philadelphia, is the leader among the third basemen, with .982. William F. Jurges, Chicago, tops the shortstops, with 975. Joseph M. Medwick, St.; Louis, is the leading outfielder, with .983. Charles L. Hartnett, for the fourth consecutive year, heads the catchers, with a per- centage of 996. By catching 103 games last season, Hartnett in- creaséd his retord to twelve years of catching in 100 or more games. Eight of these years are consecu- tive, from 1930 to and including 1937 For the third successive year, Ernest N. Lombardi, Cincin- nati, had the most passed balls, 13. Alfred C. Todd, Pittsburgh, with no passed balls in 128 games, established a new league record in this department, superseding Alfonso R. Lopez, Boston, who had 1 in 127 games in 1936. Twenty pitchers fielded for 1.000, the leadership being held jointly by Van L. Mungo, Brook- lyn, and Guy T. Bush, Boston, with 53 chances each for a per- fect record. Records Tied and Broken James A. Collins, Chicago, by having no fielding chances at first base in the game of June 29, dis- placed the old record of 1, held by himself and many players. Al- so, with no putouts, Collins tied his own record made August 24, 1935, with St. Louis. John R Mize, St. Louis, by making two unassisted double plays in the game of August 13, tied a record held by many players. FOR PLAYING Lieutenant John Faigle an- nmounces that the shuffleboard courts recently built on the Courthouse grounds by Rotarians are open for play and that appli- cation to the janitor in the Court- house may be made to secure keys for the locker in which play- ing equipment is kept.
