Where They Play Tod
A PITCHERS WORK.
The Number of Balls Delivered In
Thursdays Game.

A pitchers battle in base ball Is supposed
TO represent the best work Of the twirlers
on both sides. Consequently such fight
as that of Thursday between Washington
and Boston may be considered as giving a
line on. the amount of work a pitcher is
required to perform. 1t may be taken. IN
deed, as a minimum. for with few runs
scoring, and therefore few men at bat, the
balls delivered to the catcher are fewer
than in the ordinary game with plenty Of
hitting and making. A statistical
fan" who sat directly behind the catcher
happened to be inspired to take note of
each ball pitched to obtain an idea of the
average Of work done by the men on the
rubber
1t was a fortunate choice of game, as it
turned out. The results of his scoring are
interesting. During the entire game Lee
pitched total of l04 balls and Lewis a
total Of 122 balls Lee pitched the full nine
innings and Lewis only eight as Washing
ton did not bat in the ninth. Thus Lee Won
his game with considerably fewer deliver
les than his opponent averaging 11h to
the inning, while Lewis averaged 1914 Man
for man, Lee pitched an average of 20
erage of 81 balls. Thirty-three men faced
Lewis, while thirty-five faced Lee. Lee re-
tired the side the second inning with six
pitched balls, Tile Lewis lowest number
was ten, in the first and also in the fifth
inning. Lees highest number was nine
teen, in the fifth inning, and, curiously
enough, this was when he did his best
work, striking out two men. In this in
ming, however, he gave base on balls, de-
livering seven times in the performance
Lewis highest number was twenty nine
balls, in the fourth inning. when Washing
ton scored the first run. One curious fea-
ture of this phase Of the game was that
Lee pitched only twenty-three balls to
strike out the five men who famed his de-
liVeries, while Lewis required sixteen to
strike out the two Washington victims Of
his curves. One Of these latter was Cough
lin to whom nine balls were delivered
eight of which he struck at, fouling six
times and being finally called out by the
umpire. Lee almost equaled this foul ball
record In the seventh inning, striking at
six out of nine balls pitched. Lewis in
duced six Washington batters to strike the
first ball pitched, while only six Boston
men were thus eager. Quinn was the
least patient Of the Washington batsmen,
taking a total Of only six pitched balls dur
ing the game, one being pitched to him
when Foster failed to steal second So
Qulnns average was a shade over two
balls to the time at bat. Lee, on the other
hand. was the best waiter among the SEN
ators, taking a total Of seventeen balls in
three times at bat. Neither of these men
got safe hit. OF the Bostons Collins was
the best waiter, taking eleven balls in five
times at bat, and Ferris was the most pa
tient getting seventeen balls in four times
up. AS with the Senators, neither of these
extremes hit safely
