Average Number of Deliveries
Per Inning in Big Leagues
Is About This.

CHICAGO, July 1.-Since Christy
Mathewson of the Giants pitched only
seventy balls to the Brooklyn batters in
nine innings the first part of last week,
interest has been aroused in the average
number Of balls hurled during the aver
age game. This has been variously esti-
mated from 10 to 13J.
The lowest number on record is sixty
eight held by Ben Sanders Of the Ath-
letics. He set this mark against the old
st. Louis Browns back in 1891. Just for
curiosity the number thrown by Pitcher
Jim Scott of the Chicago White Sox
against the st. Louis Browns in last
Wednesdays battle was followed. Scott
pitched Id balls in the nine innings. This
was an average game, the score being 4
to ]. In this contest the Browns played
a waiting game, forcing Scott to pitch
over the plate. Several times the count
went to three balls and two strikes. In
but two instances did the opposing bat
tiers hit the first ball pitched into fair
territory.
For the sake of those who like sta
tistics the number of balls thrown in
each inning is herewith presented.
First. II: second, II: third. IL; fourth,
IL; fifth. Is: sixth, 10; seventh, a. eighth,
s: ninth. %: total, 122.
Allison and Stone worked for st. Louis.
Allison being in for three and third in
nings, Stone for the remainder. Here s
their record:
Alison-First, 49, second, 10: third, IL;
fourth, 8: total, 81.
Stone-Fourth. 8; fifth, 8; sixth, IL: sew
enth. 10: eighth, 10; total, 53. So in
eight innings 1O4 balls were thrown by
the opposition.
SCOTS average per inning was ID 90.
That of the st. Louis pitchers, 13 even.
This practically represents what number
are thrown per inning. Sometimes a few
more, sometimes, less-but the average
sticks around Ii or IA.
What do you think he gets?" is a
question often asked when fans discuss
ball players. More frequently than not
the figure is overestimated than the
reverse.
There are, however, those OF the old
school who can't understand why ball
players draw such enormous salaries
Which recalls a story told about Mike
Donlin after he had signed to play with
the New York Giants many years ago.
His father was one of this old school
type who wasn't much impressed with the
fact his son was playing base ball. Mike
visited his home soon after signing and,
during the course of the conversation,
his father drew out the fact that his son
had signed a contract calling for $4,000
for the seasons work.
This rather stunned the old gent "And
how often do you have to play to earn
all that money!" he inquired.
"Oh. a few hours every afternoon" an
swered Mike.
-Four thousand dollars just for catch
ing that little ball in your hands?"
fright you are" laughed Mike
His father reflected a few minutes.
Then he inquired. And what do they
make you do nights, Mike?"

ON TRACK AND FIELD
Annual Athletic Meeting Is TAX
ing Place Today at OIym-
pic Park.

Employees of the Edison Company
stopped making incandescent bulbs
and photograph records today to
contest in their annual field day at
Olympic Park. Seventeen events
were on the program, and as valuable
prizes were offered the winners, all
contests were keen.
The athletes, with the mem bers of
their families and their friends, made
up a crowd of more than 1000. which
began to drift slowly into the park
long before 1920 a. m, the time set
for starting the games.
Russell Garfield proved the star of
the morning track events. He cap
tured the 100-yard and 220-yard
dashes in easy fashion making good
time. and, in the high jump, broke
his own record of feet II inches,
made last year, by a leap of 5 feet
inch. Timothy Farrell, who was
second in this event, equalled the
former record.
Thomas A. Edison and his family
did not come to the park to witness
the morning events nor for lunch,
which was served at l p. m. The
wizard" however, expressed his in
tention of coming for the baseball
game and the running of the Grand
Prize Edison" half-mile relay race,
for which Mr.. Edison donated the
prizes himself, and which is the fea-
ture event of the program.

SETON HALL LOSES
APPEAL AGAINST TAX
Continued from First PageD

the supplement to the charter of the
college whereby il was exempted
from assessment and taxation did
not constitute a contract, and was
therefore repeala BILE at the pleasure
of the legislature. Our contention
was that the exemption was not
merely a legislative gratuity, but a
binding contract, inasmuch as the
element of consideration was pres
ent in our case just as strongly as
il was present in the Dartmouth
College case before the United States
Supreme Court.
''Unless the decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the Dart
mouth case is bad law, we contended
that Seton Hall would be exempt.
We have given just as much consid-
Grafton and have been fulfilling the
objects of our creation just as fully
and completely as Dartmouth Col
lege. There is Federal question in
the case anyhow and it may be that
we may go yet to the United States
Supreme Court with it, because the
Constitution of the United States for
bids a State to pass any law impair
ing the obligation of contracts. Once
the contractual relations are estab-
lished we have an irrepealable i'm
munity from taxation.
'In the Mount Pleasant Cemetery
case referred to, in the opinion o.

Taxes, the New Jersey Supreme Cour
held that there was no contract be
| tween the cemetery corporation anC

ALL B. AND O. INTERESTS
GIVEN UP BY PENN. R.R.

PHILADELPHIA, June Penn
sylvania railroad officials confirmed
the statement that an arrangement
had been entered into for the eX-
change of the company's holdings of
Baltimore and Ohio railroad stock for
$3S,000,000 worth of the Southern Pa
cific stock owned by Union Pacific.
1t was stated that the exchange, if
approved by the court, would be made
on the basis of the relative market
value of Baltimore and Ohio and
Southern Pacific stocks. President
Rea, of the Pennsylvania railroad,
declined to make any statement on
the subject at this time. 1t was
stated that the Pennsylvania has no
interest whatever in the management
of the Southern Pacific.
The Baltimore and Ohio stock in
volved in the transaction was &C
quired by the Pennsylvania years
ago at figures much higher than the
present market quotations. In finan-
cial circles the deal is looked upon
as a REIMBURSEMENT by the Pennsyl-
vania of all interest in the Baltimore
and Ohio Company
