CHICAGO. October 22.-Two more
American League pitchers wrote their
names in the book Of base ball with in
delible ink during the season of 1912 by
hurting nine innings without allowing an
opportunity to make base hit They
were George Mullin of Detroit and Earl
Hamilton Of ST. Louis. Both worked for
second division teams.
No-hit games have been a fairly con-
slant quantity in the younger league for
several years. Last season there were
two Of them, pitched by Ed Walsh and
Toe Wood In 1910 the late Addie Joss
and Chief Bender pitched no-hit games.
If the hitless games have remained
steady quantity, the number Of games in
which few hits were made has decreased
greatly since the cork center got into
the base ball. Two years ago pitchers
frequently held their opponents to two
or three hits and occasionally to one hit.
Hurl Three One-Hit Games.
This season there have been only three
me-hit games, the same number as last
wear. In 1910 there were thirteen. Ten
games this season in which only two hits
have been made off pitcher can De
compared with thirteen such battles last
season. In 1910 there were twenty Eight
two-hit games in the American League.
Three-hit pitching featS have been DIT
more numerous this season than in 1911
-twenty-eight against twenty-three-but
in 1910 there were forty-two games In
which a team made only three hits.
In these statistics only games that
Cashion of Washington pitched a no-hit
game against Cleveland in August, but
il went only six innings, and lots OF
pitchers hold a team hitleSs Tor SIX IN
nings of a game only to be clouteo later'
Three curtailed battles have seen only
one hit made off a pitcher this season.
Score in Hitless Contest.
Hamilton Of the Browns has the odd
record of having held Detroit hitless Au-
gust 30, but the Tigers made run on
him, the score being ) to l in his favor.
Walter Johnson had the hard luck to lose
a game in which Detroit made only two
hits off him. The White Sox defeated
the Athletics in a game in which they
made only two hits off Houck and
COombs.
Walsh has pitched a twO-hit and a
three-hit game against Boston, and a
three-hit game against Philadelphia.
