Hugh son, MortCooperl Rated Best Point System Gives Red Sox, Card Mound Artists Top Spota' : ' By WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK; Oct. 13--Our old friend Robert J.' Brennan is back to tell us who were the best pitch- era in the major leagues the past season, and just toavoid unneces sary suspense well blurt out right now. that his choices for., the top slots are Tex Hughson of the Red Sox in the American league and Mort Cooper of the Cardinals ' in 1 the National. Brennan is a transplanted Iowan who as a hobby, painstak ingly, keeps a day-by-day. record of mound - performances .through out .the season, and arrives rat his conclusions through a revised Stanley-Dean system, whatever that is. Anyway, pitchers are rated on i a point system. " For : instance, a pitcher defeating a team that is in first place on that, particular day receives 14 points, and so on down until he gets only seven points for " beating' a last-place club. On the other hand, points are deducted for each defeat, with the weaker the team a pitcher loses to, the more points he loses. Only the points a pitcher gets for beat ing first and last place clubs are set figures. The other points are figured on the basis of a direct proportion to the number of per centage points inai a learn was De- hind the first-place club on that particular, day, Now that that is Derfectlv clear. we hope, well delve into Mr. Brennan's "figuresT" which " show Hughson, with a record of 22 wins and - seven defeats, topping the junior circuit with 188.22 points, and Cooper's identical won and lost record bringing him 163.11 t ' - -1 K Other leaders in the American league, iri order, were: Ernie "Bon- ham.
