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.
The record-smasher, sched
uled for Jan. 27th to Feb. 11th,
already has an entry list of
1,728 of the nation's top bowl
ers and will offer $43,200 In
prizes, both record totals.
The bait for bowling's big
gest bonanza Is the first place
award of $8,000 plus a diamond
medal worth $300 and a $100
squad prize.
For Big Louie, It caps long
list of outstanding bowling
achievements, built during 38
years of alley activity. After
the 33rd colossus, the Petersen
individual classic productions
will have paid out 326,800 In
purses, a phenomenal figure for
America's No. 1 participation
sport. Petersen merely serves
as a middle man, taking the en
try money, staging the show,
awarding the prizes and using
what profit there is for the
maintenance of servicemen's
bowling alleys.

Stocks turned irregularly higher
today under the leadership of
rails as the carrier group of
shares advanced sharply to a
new high since September 1,
1937.
Investors apparently placed
great confidence In the remarks
of New, York Central's president
that the roads have planned a
widespread program of post-war
improvements. They overlooked
a report from Washington tbat
there apparently Is little likeli
hood ot congressional action at
this session to wipe out land
grant legislation.
No great stir was caused,
either, by announcement of the
Pennsylvania America's larg

1943 levels.
