STEALING BASES
in The AMERICAN
SOME INTERESTING STATISTICS
GATHERED IN THE CONTEST
FOR THE CHALMERS AMERICAN
LEAGUE TROPHY AND MORE
FOR NEXT. SEASON.

Thanks to Jupiter Pluvius, any
American league player who starts out
next season with the intention of
shattering Clyde Milan's base steal
ing record will only have to fitch
eighty-nine .hassocks. If the weather
man had only held off for a half an
hour on Aug. 8, last, Milan's record
Of %larcenies would have been ninety
one, instead of eighty eight. The
speedy senator had stolen three
bases in the game with the browns
on the date mentioned, when Jupiter
Pluvius impinged on the scene n
made it necessary for the umpire to
call the game in the third inning. The
three bases Milan actually stole for
which he obtained no credit in either
official or unofficial records were
gained while Krichell was behind the
bat.
Record Breaker Milan. who ran
fourth in the competition for the Chal-
mers' American league trophy, found
the Cleveland Catchers the easiest to
steal on getting twenty-seven of his
thefts in the series with the maps. On
the st. Louis windpaddists he stole
seventeen bases. not counting the
three out of which he was euchred by
Jupiter Pluvius. Milan stole thirteen
bases on the Detroit catchers, ten on
Chicago's big mitt men, nine on New
York's receivers and six on the back
stops of the Philadelphia and Boston
teams. His biggest days work on the
paths Was~on June IA, when, in a game
with Cleveland, he acquired five stol-
en- bases, beating his way to second
and third twice n making a clean
steal of home once. Cleveland's
catchers in this game were O'Neil and
Adams. the first named throwing Mil
an out at second when he tried to
steal in the Introductory inning.
Milan played in 1874 games last sea
son and stole one or more bases in
sixty-one of these contests. once he
was credited with five thefts, four
times with three, fifteen times with
two, and fo~rty-one times with one.
Milan gained his greatest number of
stolen bases during July, when he
added nineteen steals to his record. In
June he was credited with eighteen
~larcenies, in August with seventeen,
in May and September with thirteen,
in April with six and in October with
two.
The number of bases stolen on each
catcher are summarized below:
q Cleveland 27-Adams q; O'Neil Z;
Livingston 6; Easterly 8; Carisch ,.
