JT. OUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. Dm. 19. 1144 HEADS NATIONAL I LEAGUE HURLERS ' By Glen Perkins tjnlted Press Staff Correspondent New York, Dec. 19 U.fi) William H. (Bucky) Walters and Edward B. Heusser, a pair of veteran right-handers on the pitching staff of the Cincinnati Beds, led the National league last season in victories and earn ed runs respectively, according to official figures released to day. The distinction Is nothing new to Walters, whose 23 victories topped the circuit In wins, for he has led the league In the same department on two other occa sions. But for Heusser, it was a new experience. In winning 13 games and losing 11, Heusser compiled a 2.38 earned run aver age, .02 of a point better than Walters who was second in that department. Walters, regarded as the best night pitcher In baseball, had but eight losses as he duplicated his 1939 and 40 feats of leading the loop in games won. Iron Man Ace Adams of Iron City, Ga., the New York Giants' work horse, led the league for the third consecutive year by pitching in the most games, 65, and Rookie Bill Volselle of the same club,, started the most games, 41; pitched the most in nings, 313; faced the most bat ters, 1,327, and struck out the most batters, 161. Team pitching honors went to the St. Louis Cardinals, base ball's world champions. The Red Bird mound corps came up with the remarkably low-earned run average of 2.67, .30 of a run better than second-place Cincin nati. Mort Cooper, ace of the Card staff, led the circuit in shutouts, authoring seven whitewash jobs over the year. Jim (Nothln' Ball) Tobln of the Boston Braves and Clyde Shoun of the Reds, pitched no hit games. Tobin's was the first In the major leagues since 1941 and came on April 27 against Brooklyn. Shoun's, oddly 1 enough, was against Tobln and the Braves on May IS. Tobln was credited with a second no- hitter In a game against Phil adelphia on June 22, called after five Innings because of darkness. The longest winning streak of the year was set by Rookie Ted Wilks of the Cards. Hiss 11 straight triumphs also establish ed a new rookie record. WUks also topped the circuit in per centage, winning 17 against four losses for a mark of .810.

P. "Big Louis" Petersen, the man who surrounded bowling with dollar signs and gave It the glamor treatment, Is ready to throw the greatest tenpin ex travaganza of all time, his 33rd which will shatter all records f6r a similar event in the way of purses and entries.
