REVISION NEEDED IN CREDITING PITCHERS
 WITH GAMES WON

It is obviously and manifestly unfair to hold a pitcher responsible for losing a game which another twirler deserted in the hour of trial.
 Contrary to the belief of every fan and many ball players, the matter as to which pitcher figuring In q game should be given credit for the victory or held responsible for the defeat. is settled, properly. after every point is weighed and considered
 Official scorers in the big leagues are compelled to fill out several lines in ex- panation, telling the conditions exist ing when this pitcher retired in favor of that. and what happened after tho change. In this way, the leagues secre- tary arrives at the man to be held re- sponsible. or given credit.
 It Is commonly believed that if Will helm relieves Ragan when the score favors Birmingham by one run. Wilhelm is held responsible for the defeat in case the other side wins out.
 Suppose Birmingham has two runs and New Orleans one. The bases are full of Pelicans. Manager Vaughn relieves Ragan and Wilhelm takes his place. Two men fan, but the third hits safe, two men scoring. Then, suppose that the game ends with a score of to ? in favor of New Orleans, Wilhelm in the remaining innings of the game having allowed no hit.
 Should Wilhelm be charged with the loss of that game? Obviously, 1t would be unfair to charge Wilhelm with the game But according to the technical interpretation of the rules which are properly construed in a more loose fash ion. Wilhelm is the guilty party.
 Some scheme should be devised, how ever, to arrive accurately at the num- Der of games a pitcher wins and loses in a season. Wilhelm. for instance has figured in eight games which are cred tied to the record of other twirlers.
 The plan of the big leagues should be adopted in Dixie. In making out the official score. several lines at the bottom of the sheet should be left blank. On these lines. the scorer should be required to make remarks, whenever in his opn- ion, remarks. in way of explanation, are necessary. Whenever two pitchers figure in tho winning or losing of a game, the scorer should be allowed or required to state the situation just as 1t was at the time of and prior to the change in pitchers, and to state just what hap pened after the change.
 In this way the leagues secretary could arrive at q proper conclusion. The man who scores the game knows to whom credit should be given for a victory. but the leagues secretary, who did not see the game has no idea, other than that one suggested by the statement of how many hits were allowed by each man, how many bases on balls and the like.
 This matter should be attended to, and at once.
