EXTRA INNINGS in
FIFTY-FOUR GAMES
Overtime Work Not Required
As Often as Usual in
1910
LONGEST CONTEST
SIXTEEN ROUNDS

QAh AkkAN AVSANON
The overtime work required of Ma
tional League players this year has
been considerably less than last year
for most OF the teams, but the Brook
lyn Club has made an unusual record.
. II required extra innings 10 settle
ffty-four of this seasons battles and
a few of those were not settled. the
longest game of the season lasted
sixteen innings before New YORK
could beat Philadelphia, 4 to 3. Last
year there we're sixty-one overtime
scraps and the longest one went sew
b enteen innings
, While the rest Of the teams were
given little extra endeavor in 1910
; the Infants were gorged with It. They
3 we're mixed up in twenty-five extra
? inning games and that is almost half
Z of ali that we're played in the league.
1 Brooklyn made a creditable showing,
3 at that, by winning ten Of its over
time battles, losing fourteen and ty-
= ing one. In addition Dahlen's men
, played a nine inning tie with Pitts
burg.
, Bad Bill surely can claim that he
made the other teams go some 10
? beat his team. Brooklyn played three
fourteen inning games, winning one
J and losing the other two. II played
five games of thirteen innings dura-
ton and lost all FIVE Of them The In
fants were mixed up in four twelve
inning battles, three which lasted
eleven inning and ten which went ten
innings.
The champion Cubs took part in
only thirteen overtime games. They
lost the odd one. Fourteen innings
were the most played by Chances s
men during the year and they lost
in that game TO Brooklyn. The CUBS
were mixed up In seven OF Brook-
iyns twenty-five extra round games.
They beat the Infants once in thir-
teen rounds, once in twelve and once
in fourteen innings and twice in ten
rounds.
If there is anything in Frank
Chances belief that "13" is lucky the
! National League ought to be. There
were six gimes of thirteen innings
duration this season and seven last
making a total of thirteen in that
league in two years. In the same time
American League have played only
six thirteen round games, three this
year and the same number last. The
younger league has played more ex-
ira inning games altogether in the
last two years than the old league
has. The overtime contests of 1910 in
the National follow:
