JENNINGS FOR YANKS:
DONOVAN FOR TIGERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a sensational
deal will be pulled off at the American
league meeting in Chicago this week
which will send Hughey Jennings to the
New York club and bring Bill Donovan
back from Providence to manage the
Tigers, Owner Navin, of the Detroit
club, so the story goes, has consented to
let jennings take charge Of the New York
club, where he would prove a great draw
ing card and incidentally stand chance
of improving conditions. Just how much
foundation there is for this story is hard
OF say though those who pretend to know
whereof they speak insist that the an
nouncement of the deal will be made dur
ing the coming meeting.
That such move would meet with
favor of all the other clubs in the league
goes without saying. Jennings at the
head of the Highlanders would make a
wonderful difference in the team. and
with the chances of playing on the Polo
grounds every club in the league would
be benefited, for it would be the first time
since the American league has been rep
resented in New York that visiting clubs
could figure on getting somewhere near
the money that the National league clubs
get there.

'Games started and finished by pitcher

In response to the demand for rating
of pitchers other than that based on
games won and lost the secretary Of
the National league during the past sea-
son had Incorporated in all official
scores an additional record showing the
actual number of runs for which each
pitcher was responsible-that is, runs
earned off the pitching solely. In com
putting such record, the pitcher was
charged with runs that resulted from
base hits, sacrifice hits, bases on balls,
hit batsmen, wild pitches and balks.
Runs scored as the result of fielding
errors, stolen bases. and passed balls
were exempted, and no runs were charged
to pitcher after chances had been offered
the felders to retire the side.
For sake of comparison, the pitchers be-
low are numbered according to new rat
ing, the second figure being the standing in
the won and lost table. While il seems
impossible to devise a set of records
that will show the relative value of
pitchers on winning and losing clubs yet
