Amicus club. Cox. center. Stephens Athletic club. Palmer, guard, Arleta Juniors. King (captain), guard. Amicus club. Picking an all-star quintet In the junior baBketball league appears to bo easy, but on looking over the records of the piayers It is surprising to see how much first-Class material has been participating in the league games. The league is the first Junior organization that has been formed In the city for several seasons. It has had a markedly successful season. Contests were attended much better than some cf the larger games. Here are the gelectlons by Hay Brooks, secretary of the league: The first team forward positions go to Lauder of the Amicus club and Glock of the Arleta Juniors. These youngsters have exceptional ability and it would be hard to find two (aster boys. Lauder scored more points than any other forward In the league, making 40 in one game. Glock gets the other forward position as he Is a consistent player, being a good shot,-a good passer and a good de fensive man. Smith Chosen for Center. Center goes to Smith of the Amicus club, the biggest center In the league, fast and a good shot. His height gives him an advantage over the other centers of the circuit getting the tip-off. Freddie Harkins of the Arleta Juniors Is piaced at one of the guard positions and Is also chosen as cap tain. Harkins captains the Arleta team and s one of the best leaders In the league, as well as one of the bCBt guards. The other guard goes to Jagelskl of the Aibina juniors. He played forward for Aibina, but was switched to faruard on account of his defensive playing In league games. He also is the best foul shooter in the league, having shot 10 out of 11 chances in one game. On the second team the players are just about on a par with those of the first team, being nosed out by a very close margin, if these two were to meet it should be as evenly matched a game as has been played this sea son. Kelly Flint Player. Midget Kelly, Arleta forward, is the choice for one of the forward berths. Kelly has played In every game and has made enough points easily to give him the edge over all opponents. Opposing guards have much trouble keeping track of Kelly, as he is so small and fast that he can go between their legs without bother ing them in the least. Kelly also is a good shot and an excellent passor. Jassman of the Amicus club is award ed the other forward position. He hag been one of the outstanding stars In every game of his team, and Is an excellent shot. Center position on this squad goes to Cox of the Stephens team. Cox played only the last three games with Stephens but showed enough to earn his position over the other centers of the circuit. King, the Amicus club captain. Is selected for one of the guard posi tions, and also chosen captain of the second team. Palmer of Arleta gets the other guard position. He Is nosed out of a position on the fist squad by a very close margin. Many Good Flnyers Xot Picked. Many good players remain after these teams are selected. From the players left, a couple of first-class teams could be selected that would give any Junior team a good game. Among others deserving mention are Bent of Stephens; Fitrpatrlck, Alblna Juniors; Hurd, Arleta. and H. Ulrlch of Kenilworth. They are all forwards and were edged out by close margins. The centers to be commended are Gunther. Stephens; Ida, Arleta, and R. Ulrlch of Kenilworth. Wilson of Amicus and Stinson of Kenilworth did well at guard. RIFLE MEET STARTS FEB. 17 Reserve Officers of Several States to Participate in Competition. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, Pullman, Jan. 7. (Special.)

Lebanon ti-irl Win 4 1 to 0. LEBANON. Or., Jan. 7. (Special.) The girls' basketball team of the Leb anon high school met the girls from the Scio school here last night in the local gymnasium and won their first game of the season by the one-sided score of 44 to 6. Lebanon has several fast players among the girls who are also accurate basket throwers. The following were the players on the two teams: For Scio, forwards, Luella Luckenbach and Maysel Hass ler; centers, Pauline blms and Lois i'arrish; guards. Klla Jiroch and Mil tired Couey; substitutes, Dellarca Sutherland. Elbena Menhart and Louise Thayer. For Lebanon, for wards. Floy Scott and Lulu Benson; centers.

Tooth Pullers Have Strong Team and Are After N'on-Confer-.rnce Championship. The South Parkway basketball team will play the North Pacific Den tal college five Wednesday night on the Neighborhood house floor. George Dewey, coach of the Mult nomah club five, also Is coaching North Pacific. He has his athletes working out every afternoon and has regular scrimmage practice with his club team. The toothpullers have Ihe strongest team to represent that in stitution and are after the non-conference title. In their first game, against the University of Oregon, they lost only by a 26 to 24 score. D. McLoughlin, captain and for ward of the team, is the player the Parkway boys will watch, as he Is fast and an accurate shooter. He scored most of the baskets against Oregon. The team, with the exception of center, Is the same as last season. McLoughlin and Estes probably will start at forward, Taylor at center, Pentland and Nickllson as guards. South Parkway will have Its final SUNNY JIM BOLDT FORTIFIES FOR COAST-LEAGUE SESSIONS President of Seattle Club Will Take No Chances at Meeting of Mag nates Boxers Are Scattering Bruin Gridders Humbled. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 7. (Special.) Sunny Jim Boldt will set sail for the meeting of the moguls this coming week, and the Seattle prexy is taking no chances of passing up any bets. Not being too familiar with the ways and wiles of the mag nates, Boldt will carry along Manager McCredie and Business Manager Rich ardson to aid him In his fight to get for Seattle its share of games in the schedule squabble. A few interesting things are ex pected to pop at the coming meeting. In the first place, several trades which are now smoking either will be consummated or called off. As nearly every ciub in the league is rebuilding. It is probable that some player deals of more than ordinary concern will bov up. Seattle may figure In one of these trades. Boldt and McCredie are after pitchers, and to get pitchers they may be Induced to part with something valuable In the way of outfielders or catchers. Big Mack knows that his weakness right now is on the knoll. If trading a player or two could help bolster this weak spot, Seattle will make the switch. It Is known that Vinegar Bill Es slck is desirous of obtaining the serv ices of a well-known Seattle out fielder. Neither Boldt nor his as sistants are anxious to rart with any of their gardeners. But if some man ager dangles a likely looking chuck er under his now, McCredie will snap him up. Seattle fans are still waiting for something to happen in the Ken worthy deal. The wise irackers can'i figure the thing out. If the Duke Is going to manage Portland ana If Marty Krug or anyone else is com ing to Seattle, the fans would like to find out pretty pronto. The Ken worthy squabble is getting on their nerves. . When Bill Klepper obtained the services of Shortstop McCann, he grabbed a young man Seattle has been after for two years. When Clye Wares was handling the Indians. Se attle tried hard to get the Athletics' lnfielder. Again last year the locals made a bid for him, but Connie Mack saij nix. Now Klepper has him for his Portland club, and from all re ports he is a high-class performer who will be a star in this league. Travie Davis is in Los Angeles, waiting for somebody to make a bid for his title. The blond Sverett boy's trouble seems to be In getting op ponents. Recognized as the coast's best welterweight. Davis has fought himself all out of rivals. The Vernon matchmakers have dug up a tougli one for Davis In Gene Cline. He is an aggressive young sorapper 'ho is one of the best of the southerners, and he and Davis probably will meet in the near future. A couple of seasons ago Travie went to the screen city and knocked two or three opponents galley-west. He was I all but matched with Bert Coliml, for which scrap he would have received a I fat 'purse. But Travie, who Is as I temperamental aa most champions, THE WILL BE SEEN IN ACTION PARKWAY. ESTES, FORWARD! McLOUGHLIX. LAND, GUARD. workout Sunday morning. It played and defeated A&leta Thursday night handily. Parkway has in Abe Unkelis a guard who worries opposing for wards. He held Dick Stinson of the Aggies and Charles King, state in tcrscholastlc all-star forward of Ar leta, from getting a single field bas ket. The rest of the team Is well known, with Dubinsky at guard, Ar buch and Rogoway as forwards, and Poplck at center. There will be a preliminary game. COUGARS TO -TRY COMEBACK Five to Play Walla Walla Legion . Monday Night. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, Pullman, Jan. 7. (Special.) Cougar basketball men will attempt a come back against the Walla Walla Amer ican Legion five Monday night in the college gym. In the Christmas vaca tion the Cougars made the trip to Walla Walla, but did not win any games. That Doc Bohler's men have a diffi cult task before them may be Judged from the fact that four of the legion quintet are ex-college captains and members of all-northwest teams. Ol sen and Hunter, legion forwards, are ex-captatns of the Montana and Idaho fives; DeMent, center, is a captain and four-year Whitman star, and Cope land, guard, was captain of the. Cou gar quintet in 1919. Drumheller, a Walla Walla man, is playing the other guard. skipped out of town and never re turned until last month. Another Seattle boy who will box in the south shortly Is Joe Harrahan. Jack Russell is lining up matches for Joe at Vernon and the newspapers al ready are talking about the Fighting Harp and his punching ability. Another team of local boxers are departing Monday on a southern ex cursion, and it will be a sort of a tour de luxe. Caruso Dan Salt, the Seattle boxing promoter, will tour the coast with three or four ring gladiators in his limousine. Dan will do the driv ing, and the boxers will fight and supply the do-re-me to buy the gas, oil, tires and cookies. Harry Casey, the snorting welter weight; Mickey Hannon, Mike Mitch ell and Harry Eagles will make the trip with Salt. The boys expect to do much of their boxing around Los Angeles. The campaign offlclaly opens Mon day night at Aberdeen, when Harry Casey boxes Claire Bromeo in a six round affair. From Aberdeen the battlers' special will head for the south. Washington football fans did not shed any tears when Washington and Jefferson held the mighty Bears to a tie score. The followers up here are for the west as strong as an onion sandwich, but they hold the opinion that the Bruins are a bit too cocky. They'd hate to have seen California beaten, but they figure a tie score did no harm. Coach Baggy was sorry to see Cali fornia held to a tie score for selfish reasons. "Those California boys were begin ning to think themselves invincible." points out the Washington coach. "If we could only have met them next year In that frame of mind, we would have a better chance of turning in a victory. Now they have all that over confidence stuff knocked out of them, and they doubtless will be In fighting trim for the big game here next fall." Some fans think the game at Pasa dena only went to prove that Wash ington had a dandy little halfback in Ray Eckmann. PenTi State Is rated about the same as the Presidents, in the east. California could not come close to snoring on the W. and J. men, but little Ray Eckmann bucked the ball 30 yards and scored a touch down against the strong Lions, Little Eckmann made more first downs than did the whole California team. Of course the writers down south have a whole bushel of alibis. They say the Bears would have waltzed In on a dry field, and that the men were stale, etc But the defeat, for it was virtually that, was a bitter dose for the Native Sons to swallow. It also is noted that the Cali fornlans are grabbing the lion's share of the receipts, while Washing ton and Jefferson, which hiked all the way across the country, will get noth ing but bare expenses. Yeah, the Bruins let their prestige drop several notches when they ac cepted the game with the Presidents, and then failed to win. It must be admitted the west also lost much aa a result of tbe Fasadena struggle. SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY AGAINST SOUTH CAPTAIJf AND FORWARD! PEXT- CARDINAL FIVE PRIMED STANFORD RIGGERS EXPECTED TO MAKE BIG SHOWING. Rugby Team Walloped During Tour of British Columbia; Baseball Nine to Invade Orient. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo Alto, Cal., Jan. 7. (Special.) With the 1922 basketball season well under way xnd the first game of the series scheduled against Santa Clara col lege, the Stanford varsity squad be gan practice for the conference ser ies. All the first string men re ported on the floor and under Coach Van Gent went through regular scrimmage discontinued during the holidays. Captain Jim Davies, Pacific coast intercollegiate tennis cnampion, has recovered completely from an opera tion and reported for practice. Davies gives promise of becoming one of the foremost players in the conference. He will have to fill the gap left by Swede Righter, star forward, who was graduated. Lefty Rodgers, Fred An derson, Glenn Pollard and Gerson will be drilled by Coach VanGent to fill gaps left by Adams, Mills and Carver, who will not be eligible this season. The Stanford quintet faces its hard est season on record, with 18 games to play in two 'months. The schedule follows: January 11, Santa Clara col lege; January 14, College of Pacific; January 18, Olympic club (unlimited); January 21, St. Ignatius; January 24 25, University of Oregon at Eugene; January 27-28, Oregon Aggies at Cor vallis; February 4, University of Cali fornia; February 7-8, Washington State college at Stanford; February 11. St. Mary's; February 14, Univer sity of Southern California; February 17-18, University of Oregon at Stan ford; February 21, University of Ne vada; February 25, University of Cali fornia at Oakland. The rugby team sent by Stanford to invade the colleges and clubs of Brit ish Columbia, during the Christmas holidays, lost two of three games played and tied the third. In the first game of the . series, played against the University of British Co lumbia, the Cardinal riggers were de feated 10 to 0. The second game against a team selected from British Columbia at large, won a hard fought 8-to-0 game from the southerners, while the third encounter against the Vancouver Rowing club resulted in a 3-to-3 tie. Coach Malonay. veteran rugby star and coach, accompanied the team. A trip to the orient is planned by the Stanford diamond artists for the coming summer, and Coach Seahy has been hard at work lining up his ma terial for the season's games. Prac tice soon will be under way for bat teries. Guy Draper, star pitcher for the last two seasons, will appear in a Cardinal uniform. All the first string men of last year have returned and prospects of an exceptional team seem bright. According to the pres ent schedule the team will play very fjw games away from the local field and will not tour the northwest. Y. M. C. A. STANDINGS SAME Relative Places of Basketball Teams Are Unchanged. Relative basketball standings of the six teams In the Y. M. C. A. inter club basketball league remain un changed following two interesting battlts on the Y. floor last week. The Excelsiors loft to the Columbians. 34 to 18. and the Iroquois dropped a game to the Olympian quintet, 20 to 8. The Columbians are still at the head of the percentage column, hav ing won four games and lost none. Next Thursday night the Excelsiors will tangle with the Victorians and the Columbians will clash' with the Olympians on the Y. M. C. A. floor. Starting Thursday three boxing bouts a week will be held after the basketball games. Each club will have entries and competitions will continue for six weeks. The bouts will be three-round affairs with minute rounds. Winter Carnival January 28. BANFF, Alta., Jan. 7. Canada's playground here will again be thronged with visitors for the winter carnival, which will commence Janu ary 28 and continue until February 5. All outdoor sports, curling, skating and snowshoeing. ski running and jumping, toboganning and trap shoot ing will be indulged in. One of the attractive features will be swimming in the big sulphur pools with the tem perature of the air below freezing. An ice palace will be erected, lighted with electricity. The contests will be for women as well u men. PORTLAND, JANUARY 8, 13 IS iB 1 FRANK CHANCE LIKES Many Baseball and Football Men Like It, Too. MINNESOTA IS DIFFERENT But Gophers Have no Many Acci dents They Attribute to 13 That You Can't Blame 'Em. BT MALCOLM MACLEAN. CHICAGO, Jan. 7. (Special.)' Eerth No. 13 or locker bearing the tame number Is frequently considered good luck by baseball and football players. When Frank Chance was manager of the Cuba and later of the Yankees he Insisted on having "13." Up at Minnesota they shun the number, especially football men. Some years ago locker No. 13 had a jinx connected with It that became almost notorious. Among those who had this compartment for a time and the re sultant happenings were: Quist, guard of the Gophers in 1914, scalded in shower bath. Sinclair, guard in 1915, broke his shoulder bone. Bierman, halfback and captain in 1915, broke his leg. ' Bert Baston, 1916 captain and Ail American end. broke his collar bone. Wallace, mile runner in 1917. hurt his knee. . A person can scarcely blame the Gophers if they let locker No. 13 re main idle. When Harry Sinclair owned the Newark club of the defunct Federal league, he occasionally dropped In to chat with Pat Powers, whom he had placed in charge of the team. New ark was having quite a bit of trouble paying expenses, owing to the large list of highly paid players and the big overhead. One morning Sinclair pulled a paper out of his pocket containing the names of his stars and the salaries they win receiving. "It's a pretty big one. Isn't it. Powers?" he said, glancing down -the sheet. "Seems as if we could lop a fellow off here and there." He came across the name of a vet eran, whom we will call "Smith" for obvious reasons. "Now this Smith," continued the magnate. "He's getting an enormous salary, is rather old to play and spends most of the time on the bench. How about cutting him off?" Powers swallowed. He hated to see Smith go. for he was one of the moBt famous of players, and was a real drawing card, in addition to being a fine fellow personally. "All right. Mr. Sinclair," said Pow ers'. "I'll take ca-e of him." Two days la.er they met again in the same office. "And how about Smith?" asked Sinclair. "Did you let him out?" Powers nodded. "It took a lot of courage on my part, but I finally told him he was released," he said. "Seems rather tough, too; a baby arrived at bis home yesterday." Sinclair pounded his fist on the desk. "Sign Smith up again imme diately," he said. "We can't let that baby starve." Two Detroit Tigers were loafing In the hotel lobby. Said Matty Mcln tyre: "That happens eventually." "Eventually? Where did you get that word eventually?" asked Davey Jones. George Morlarity, who was standing by and overheard the remark, butted into the conversation. "You didn't think Matty went around with me all last year for nothing, did you?" he said. . One spring the White Sox stopped at Palo Alto, Cal., for a game with the Stanford varsity boys. Ray Dem mitt spent a share of the morning In a barber's chair, and while he sat there one of the Stanford players came in for a haircut.. "I'm certainly glad I'm not an out fielder today," remarked the collegian to his barber. "Those fellows will run their les off. All I have to do is stand behind the plate and stop the few balls the Sox batters miss." The next spring the Sox were train ing at Mineral Wells, Tex., and were put through military drills by an army sergeant, like all the other ma jor teams that season. Corporal Eddie Collins kept yelling at Nemo Leibold. "Get back there!" or "You're too far back. Nemo!" he snapped out time after time. When Collins wasn't on Leibold, Sergeant Clarance Rowland was. The manager had Nemo stepping back and forth until the player's head swam. Finally there came a pause. The squad stood at attention, there was absolute silence Ielbold's voice rang out, "Well, Is there anything wrong about Nemo?" he asked. BOATING TO BEGIN FEB. 11 Three Liong-Distance Races Sched uled for Winter Season. The winter season of motor boat racing will begin at Miami, Fla., on February 11. Three long distance races have been scheduled, the first to Palm Beach and return, the second on February IS to Key West and the third on February 23 to Havana. These three races may be regarded as post season events preliminary to the racing over the'Blscayne Bay course, which' will include races for the Fisher-Allison trophy, March 2. 3 and 4; the Wood-Fisher trophy, March 7, 8 and 9, and for the New Leary trophy. The long distance races may be considered contests chiefly for the winter residents and will not attract many visitors from the north, par ticularly as the 17th annual motor boat show will be the attraction in New York February 17 to February 25. There has been no show since December. 1920. and so the coming exhibition will be of more than ordi nary interest. Although it is still two months away most of the space has been taken and Ira Hand, secretary, is being hard pressed to find more room. It Is probable that some of the boats exhibited at the show will be put on the cars as soon as the exhibition closes and sent to Miami to compete in the races and at the same time a very large contingent of visitors to the show will go south for the March events. Kelso Defeats Ia Center. KELSO. Wash., Jan. 7. (Special.) The Kelso Methodist Episcopal Sun day school team had no trouble de feating the La Center team yesterday on the local floor, the score being 62 to 24. At the close of the first half the local team led. 28 to 9. The line ups were:. La Center Tooley and Woodward, forwards; Beckman, cen ter; Tice and Chicks, guards.

Silver Trophy Offered City Cham pion; Competition to Be in Six Sections. Basketball schedules of the gram mar schools are nearing completion. The league has six sections and the winner ci each will meet in elimina tion contests. The victor will be pro claimed the city grammar school bas ketball champion. A silver trophy has been put up by Meier & Frank. The finals will start next week In section No. 1 Couch school is ahead, having won all its games. Ter williger is second, having been de feated only by Couch. The Peninsula grammar school won the pennant of section No. 2. It defeated al' the rivals in that section. In section No. 3 the pennant lies be tween Vernon and Highland, which have not lost a game as yet and will play next week for the championship INTERCOLLEGIATE FOOTBALL LIKELY TO HOLD ITS PLACE Nothing Declared Able to Stop Increase of Popularity of College Gridiron Sport in America. BT SOL METZGER. CONTINUALLY rumors carry to the four corners that professional football will supplant the college variety. Uneasiness is felt by thoss who believe" In our great fall pastime. But a close survey of the situation In clines us to the belief that nothing will stop the gradual growth of Inter collegiate football to a point where it will be recognized as our most pop ular outdoor athletic pastime. In the early '90s. when the game was taking hold, some 20,000 spec tators saw the Yale-Jiarvard game at Springfield. A decade later found as many as 25,000 present when this clash was staged at either Cambridge or New Haven. Today, such a battle limits its eyewitnesses to the capacity of the arena. Boyle's Thirty Acres would be none too commodious for the crow.ds which would now attend at least four of the bli eastern contests every season if all who desired to at tend' had their say. Those who claim intercollegiate football is commercialized should ask why Harvard does not wreck its stadium. Yale its bowl and Princeton Its Palmer edifice, as thev are Inade quate for the crowds. It's poor busi ness to retain them, large as they are. And if football Is commercialized we wonder why "Bo" McMillin is not on the vaudeville stage. Surely he ought to come near drawing houses equal to those attracted by such hard hitters as Ruth and Dempsey. Finally, we are compelled to add that the grid iron sport Is so complicated that only college men seem able to play it scientifically. With such a quartet of hard hitters as Guilford, Gardner, Jones and Sweetser to lead our amateurs in an other attack on the British amateur title, backed by such cracks as Ouimet, Evans and Wright, the out look for an American to cop that cup seems bright. But the one thing to prevent the success of such a drive is to plan it as was last year's upsetting invasion. Our amateurs go through our own title events In their best form. They simply lay aside their business or pro fessional duties for the time being and enjoy the matches. The result is their golf sticks close to par. But place them abroad for several weeks before the British amateur, with ten days topping that, represent ing the trip over, the whole approxi mating a month of anxious waiting. during all of which the press of two SKATER STARTS THE NEW RIGHT. .4 of the section. A three-cornered tie was broken last week when Highland eliminated the Sabln grammar school quintet, 8 to 8. Montavilla and Hosford schools are ahead in section No. 4. The two play tomorrow for the section champion ship. In section No. 5 Glencoe and Buckman are the only undefeated teams. They will meet next week In a championship game. The Shaver grammar schcol, for the second consecutive year, has won the championship of section No. 6. Shaver defeated all teams in that section. Ducks Still Plentiful. TOLEDO, Or.. Jan. 7. (Special.) Duck shooting has been good the last few days. Bert Howe, one of Tole do's most enthusiastic sportsmen, re turned from the Early lake section with the limit. The cold weather in the valley seems to have driven the ducks south earlier than usual. The season usually closes here just about the time tbe duck shooting geta best. New Relay Races Added. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 7. Two new college relay champ'onshlps a 440 yard and an 880-yard event will be added to this year's programme of the University of Pennsylvania relay car nival to be held April 28 and 29, it was announced today. nations is featuring every move made in preparation, and you find our play ers teeing off in play with a tremen dous mental hazard weighing upon them. To cop the British cup a few of our players should go about It quietly. Making a big fuss simply stirs the British lion to superhuman effort. That was evidenced last year when our trio of stars Guilford. Ouimet and Evans all fell before players not quite their equals, basing the play of all six over the span of a season. FRENCH BANTAMS MATCHED 2 0-Round Battle for Championship of Europe Staged. PARIS, Jan. 7. One of the most Im portant ring battles staged here in a decade is set for January 9, when Eu gene Criqul, "the knockout king," meets Charlie Ledoux in a 20-round encounter for the bantamweight championship of Europe, now held by Ledoux. Should Charlie Ledoux be returned the winner he will journey to Amer ica, where he has signed up to meet Joe Lynch, Joe Burman. Pete Herman and Johnny Buff. If Criqul wins the fight Ledoux plans to retire immedi ately. The purse is the largest ever of fered for a pugilistic encounter in France, being 300.000 francs, which will be divided 70 per cent to the winner, 30 to the loser. When Jack Johnson met Frank Moran here in 1914 the stakes amounted to 200,000 francs, which has not yet been paid, owing to legal entanglements. CLEVELAND BOOSTS RACING North Randall Track to Be Scene of Opening Harness Meet. CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 7. For the purpose of stimulating harness horse racing in Cleveland, the board of directors of the Forest City Live tock and Fair company today leased the North Randall race track to A. C. Pennock of Cleveland for a spring and rail meeting of half mile harness i horses during the 1922 season. Pennock expects to stage a meet- ! Ing during the week of June 5 and another the week following the grand circuit meeting at Lexington, the date of which will be decided at the grand circuit stewards' meeting here Janu- i try 9-10. t JOHNSQNSTILLKING 1PJ STRIKEOUT CLASS Walter Without Peer After 15 Years on Mound.

The Johnson performance does not stand out with brilliance when com pared with his work of other years. In 1910 he struck out 313 In 4T, sanies. -Matt a Ivilroy of the old Baltimore American association club, In 1SS6, fanned 505 men In 65 games, but at that time the pitcher was only T,0 feet from the plate. That same season Ramsey of the Louisvllles struck out 494 In C3 games. The modern record goes to Rube Waddcll, great and ec centric, who in 1904 struck out 343 In 46 games an average of 7.46 a game. Muyii Won 27 (amen. If you decide pitching leadership on the basis of games won and lost you must make Carl Mays of the Yankees the champion of the loague. He worked in 49 games and won 27 and lost nine, for a percentage of .750. Shocker was second, with -7 won and 12 lost. But If you Judge a pitcher's ability by the number of earned runs he al lowed a game you must accord the palm to Urban Faber of the White Sox, who allowed only 91 earned runs in 43 games for an average of 2.48 earned runs a contest. Ho won 25 and lost 15. Mays allowed 3.08 earned runs and Shocker 3. 55. As Faber struck out 124 men and Mays only 70, and aa Faber pitched four shutouts, a pair of two-hit games, one a three hit game and a couple of four-hit af fairs, we must give the championship to the redheaded right-hander of Kid GleaBon's team, who worked for a lowly second,"" division outfit, while Mays had the strongest support in the league behind him. Carl Kept Ituay. Mays worked In more games than any other fllnger 49 but that's noth ing when compared with the records made in the past. Jack Chesbro pitched In 72 games for the Yankees one season and "IIoss" Radbourn of Providence, In 1884. pitched 77 games, won 18 in a row and lost only 12. The fact that the 1921 hitting was heavy already has been demonstrated in tho batting averages. It Is accen tuated by the companion truth that there were only 62 shutouts in the American league last season. Com pare that with 145 In the league In 1909 and 164 In the National In 190S. Nobody pitched a no-hlt game in the American league In 1921 and only Joe Bush, the new Yankee, hurled a one hit game. There were only 60 games in which the total hitting of one side was kept down to less tnnn five hits. Verily, it was a tough year for the fllngera! Michigan Aggies Book Games.
