In a seagon replete with unusually lxz\orl pitching performances, Vance holds the center of the stage without much oppoultlon; On August 28, of this year, pitch- ing against Chicago, Vance won his ;l“‘rnl,\'-nccond victory of the season. 1t was his tenth straight win. To turn the trick he was compelled to fan 15 opponents. Fifteen strikeouts is a modern Na- tional league# record, It falls one short of the American league record made by Rube Waddell in 1908, The tenth straight win is a Na- tional lcague record for the year, topping Cary Mays' string of nine and equaling the American league record for the year made by Hollis Thurston of Chieago.
