Changes This Year
ARE GOING AFTER
A PLAYING MANAGER

HARRISBURG. Pa. Dec. 19.-Ab-
sence of one of the projectors of the
new baseball association may delay
some interesting announcements until
later in the week, but it was under
stood Saturday that plans are so near
~ completed that they are likely to
be made public any day. The ques-
tion of manager will not come up until
SITTER the organization Of the organ
ization of the Harrisburg Amusement
Company is completed.
There have been many stories re-
garding the hackers in the new base
bah company, but this fact will not
be made known at present. One gen.
fleman who has been quite active in
bringing about an organization that
will assure a more successful game
i'm Harrisburg said today
'The desire to bring about change
in the game in Harrisburg is just what
is going on in other towns, but per-
haps on a smaller scale here. IL is
well-known fact that in order TO get
players and do business il is neces-
sary to keep close to the big league
fellows. and we must have at least
one good man interested in the Har'
risburg team who may find II profit
able and be able to strengthen up his
team from the Harrisburg ranks.
Another question that has riser
has been the value of playing man
ager. We have had both playing anC
bench managers and have not done So
we'll. Il has not been wholly due t'
bad management, but to other un
fortunate circumstances, but If we
can get "a manager who may put il
some of his own money we believe
that il will bring the desired result
as a manager with money invested II

more money

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Dec. 19-That
Allentown will be represented either

tainty last night. when a meeting of

Assurance was given that a fran

in the latter organization were on the

pledged at once, and Chairman A. B.
Ballet was authorized to appoint a

Some of Allentown's leading citi-

and a few of them are willing to back
the team, but it is proposed to raise
the $4,000 by popular subscription.
While some of the hackers prefer a
New York State League franchise, It
is believed that a Tri-State League

PITCHERS In
new LIGHT
Records Prove That Games
Won and Lost Do Not
Prove Worth
FIVE MEN PROVE
BETTER THAN MARQUARD

A better method Of judging the
worth of pitchers than the number OF
games lost and won has been suggest
ed, according TO the Philadelphia
Times. II is admitted that games won
and lost show little or nothing of a
pitchers effectiveness. Possibly his
associates failed to field maybe they
didn't hit, and the poor pitcher draws
the blame. On tho other hand. he
may win a game after being pum-
meled severely.
In pursuing the list Of National
League winners for 1911 one finds
some queer things. OF the men who
worked 24O innings or more. an ex-
ception being made to include Ames,
the way they worked on the mound
seems to have had little to do with
the number of games won.
About all that can be charged
against the finger rightly Is the
number Of men he permits to reach
first base via safe hits. passes or
hitting batsmen. Figured on that
basis. five fingers did better than
Marquard, whose winning percentage
was better than that of any other
National League pitcher. Babe Adams
of Pittsburgh. seventh among those
who worked 240 innings. has the best
record for keeping men away from
first He let 1.0341 per inning ge.
there Ames, fifteenth on the list,
was second in effectiveness.
Put Nap Rucker with a winning
team and he would be a wonder With
the poor support of Brooklyn he
landed thirteenth az a winning pitch
er. yet he cxcelled Mathewson in
keeping the opposition off first. Slim
Sallee, of the Cardinals. was only a
little bit behind Marquard and
Brown. while Leifeld. whose efforts
with the Pirates landed him six
teenth IN point Of winning games,
was next 20 Sallee.
Crandall. Of the Giants. was a
lucky man. He was eleventh in
point Of battling in the opposition. yet
he stood second in point of winning
games. Cole. of the Cubs. was almost
as fortunate. He was third in IN,
league as a winning pitcher and the
figures of effectiveness show him ius'
/ n shade better than Gaspar of Gin
cinnati. nineteenth among the meT
who worked 240 rounds. The figureI
