Carpenter Doubts That VIII

WOULD LIKE TO SEE
TEAM IN WILMINGTON

President Carpenter, OF the Tri-
State League, discussing the report
that the Williamsport team would be
transferred here, said:
Il do not think there is anything
in the stories. Secretary Gray said
he had secured the Wilmington
grounds for several post-seasoE
games, but that there was nothing in
the report of a sell-out However,
there may be some development later.
Wilmington is a good town and ]
would like to see a Tri-State team
there. / do not think very much of
Patterson. n. j., as that town is full
Of foreigners who go to baseball only
on Sundays. Nor is there anything
in the reports that Johnstown will
be out OF the game next season, as
far as know. The Jawns have been
a losing venture this season. but
there are a number Of players who are
good assets and the short end of the
cash will be made up in these sales,
and I believe will put the Johnstown
hackers in good shape to be in line
next season
AS to Scranton and Wilkes-Barre
coming into the Tri-State, that is only
talk. The New York State League
will simply have to come down to
less expense if Sunday games are cut
out. That league is not going to give
up, and they would not consent TO
Wilkes-Barre and Scranton going out
when they are the only two towns
that allow Sunday baseball. / think
the Tri-State next season will be
about as It is now. There may be
some changes in the rule and perhaps
the salary limit. but it will the same
! old Tri-State. There is some talk o.
abolishing the rule allowing only fouT-
teen players. There is nothing posi-
/ tive at this time"

Baseball gossip on the East Side

Brandywine Springs Park for a sill
yer loving cup.

standing and are made up of some OF
the best players in the city The
managers are keeping their line-ups a

FEW PITCHERS WIN
THIRTY In SEASON
Search Of Records Reveals
Rough Shedding for Even
Star Performers
MEN WORK HARD FOR
THE CLUB BONUSES

Are bonuses to pitchers for winning
a certain humber of games a good
thing for baseball? This question is
as much in mind this summer as ever.
Several big league owners have Of
fered their star twirlers sums of
money providing they win thirty or
more games.
When George Mullin had so much
difficulty in pulling down his prize
for winning twenty-five games last
season, the management gave it out
that no more bonuses would be offer
de, as 1t appeared to handicap this
clever twirler to great extent as he
neared his goal.
At the first glance the offer appears
generous enough. When we think of
the great number Of games in a league
schedule it seems easy enough for
pitcher to win the required number,
but it isn't.
Chase back through the records of
the National League and see how
many pitchers have won thirty games.
Joe McGinnity won just thirty for
Brooklyn in 1900 Not until 1903
did another pitcher reach the mark
That year Joe copped thirty-one VIC
tories. and Christy Mathewson reach
ed the mystic number. The follow
ing year the great Iron Man" won
thirty-five to Christy's thirty-three
games.
In 1905 Mathewson was the only
twirler to pass the mark, winning
thirty-one battles. The next year
brought not a single thirty victory
pitcher, but in 1905 Christy came 10
the fore again with thirty-seven vic
tories. Last year Mordecai Brown
led all with twenty-seven victories.
The story of the American League
twirlers is similar. Cy Young march
ed in victorious thity-one times in
1901, representing the Boston club.
The next season he added one to his
string, making it thirty-two victories.
He led all his leagues slab perform
ers in 1903, but won only twenty-eight
games.
Jack Chesbro was the shining light
of 1904, his greatest year in baseball.
He brought home the bacon forty
one times for the Highlanders, estab-
fishing a record for wins ] ma single
season under modern conditions. Bill
Bernhard, Of the Maps, came within
one game of landing inside the
Murphy limit.
Until Ed Walsh's great year in 1908
when he won forty games and lost
but fifteen, the American League had
but one pitcher with forty victories.

GETS SEVEN HITS

The recent slump in batting Of Fred
SnOdgrass, the Giant aspirant for the
automobile that has been offered for
the leading batter this season in the
major leagues. makes Hans Wagner
loom up again as the probable win
ner of the National League honor. II
not Of both big leagues.
Wagner's feat yesterday in getting
seven hits out of seven trips TO the
plate gave the Teuton a big boost. In
the last month Wagner has been hit
ting at the merriest sort Of a clip and
II he keeps it up for the remainder Of
the six weeks Of the schedule, there Is
no doubt that he will head the Ma
tional. Cobb has such a handsome
