urlers Dominate
Major Loops
By UNITED PRESS
Baseball presented a little
mystery thriller to the fans Mon
day entitled "Who Stole the
Lively Ball, or Whatever Be
came of Big League Hitters?"
In a trend that developed last
season when there were 13 pitch
ers who won 20 or more games
apiece, the pitchers again are
dominating proceedings this
year.
Five or Lest .
In the American League in
91 games there have been 35 in
which one team has been held
to five hits. or less. In the Na
tional in 89 games there have
been 36 performances of five
hits or less by the hurlers.
That is almost phenomenal,
according to the experts, and so
far there has been precious lit
tle good pitching weather,
either. Most of it has been cold
and breezy, which certainly
isn't suited for top-flight hurling.
GRID WORK ENDS
