Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, November 25.-Whethei
or not the American League pitchers OF
1910 were better than the National
League twirlers, the fact remains that the
artillerists in the organization presided
over by Byron Bancroft johnson had
only lat home runs made off their de-
liveries last year to 215 four-baggers pro-
cured off the gunners of the senior body.
No American League player was able to
straighten out one of the curves flung
al him by Jack Coombs. the pitching star
of the White Elephants, and slam it
either over the fence or clout it such
distance that he was entitled to be re-
warded by the presentation Of a pair of
shoes and other merchandise. OFF Chief"
Bender, Coombs' running mate in the
worlds series. only one four-bagger was
made last season, Jake Stahl manufac-
turing 1t. Walter Johnson, the Idaho
phenom, yielded one hit good for the
complete distance, this being poled by
Eddie Collins.
Some Interesting Figures.

League did not fare 50 we'll. George Null
lin had seven home runs made off him;
Russell Ford, four; Ed Walsh, four, and
Eddie Plank, three. The twirlers in the
