Jack Kearns seems well_satisfied with a purse of $250,000 for Jack Dempsey in a Carpentier- Dempsey mill, but of course isn’t overlgoking any larger offe Jess Williard thought he had a lot of money when he was guaranteed $100,000 for his end in the Dempsey fight—but now it bains to lodg as if Black Jack's amount is going to make Big Jess look 1ike a picaynne. Just as natural for the Callahan family to play football as a duck to swim—but Mike sys that he never saw his Kid brother, Arthur, on Law- rence High, Mass,, play and he ca \10t vouch as to yhether he is any good or not. Babe Ruth did not prove Fairbanks in the moving picture game on the coast. He failed to show any of the home run' prowess that made his name a hou:¢hold word in the baseball game. Now Babe is going to haye plenty of time to think about what he is going to hold up Harry Frazee for playing on the Red Sox next season. ‘We might be wrong but who ever gets the Dempsey-Carpentier bout, the promoters are going to have as tough a time in staging the contest as a Doug -Dempsey fight.

ALEXANDER HEADS PITCHERS OF NATIONAL LEAGUE In arranging the National League pitchers of 1919, in the order of their effectiveness it was found expedient to ‘divide the pitchers into three groups, as was done in 1917 and 1918. ~The first group embraces all campaign and pitched at least 10 those who bore the brunt of the complete games; the second, those who participated in a minimum of 10 game: regardless of the came; the third comprising all others who took part in a championship contest. The percentage of gjames won and lost is given, with notation of the relati position of each pitcher, this special record being supplied in order that comparison may be made with the official earned-run rating. A new heading, ‘“Number of Games Finished,” shows the work of pitchers who have been put inte games, generally after games have been considered lost. In former years no proper credit was given such pitchers. e Alexander, Chicago, has the title of leading pitcher ' with an average of least earnmed runs per game of 172. Ruether, Cincinnati, has best percentage for games won and lost, .760. Barnes, Ne wYork, won the most games, 25. Meadows, St. Louis- Philadelphia, lost 20. Meadows St. Louis-Philadelphia, pitched in the most games, 40, Cooper, Pittsburgh, had 27 complete games, Dubuc, New York finished 22 games. Vaughn of Chicago pitched 307 innings. Alex- ander, Chicago, led in shutout games, 9. Vaughan. Chicago, struck out 141 batsmen. May, St. Louis, gave 87 bases on balls.
