In the excitement incident to the
war between organized ball and the
Federals, it has possibly escaped the
attention ate Of the fan that they have
year more l to 0 battles han ever be-
fore. In the first six weeks Of the
campaign last year the Johnsonites
reeled off only two such passages-at-
arms; in the same time this year they
have played thirteen contests of this
character. During the entire season
of 1913 the Junior league had twenty
one l to o games; so it looks as If the
would be smashed to ininitesmal
smithereens during 1914.
One d feature of the 1 to 0 games
played. in the American league this
season is that Walter Johnson, Chal-
mers car winner last year., hasn't igur-
ed in one of them. In 1913 the Idaho
Phenom got mixed up in no less than
seven of these pitching battles, captur-
Ray Collins of the Red Sox.
Joe Leonard of Boston and Eddie
Ctcotte of Chicago have acquired john
sons 1913 habit of getting into l to 0
them. The fastener and the westerner
each have figured in three 1 to 0 bat
ties, the verdict being for them once
and against them twice. Artilleries
gagements are Earl Hamilton of the
Browns and Jim Scott of the White
Sox. Death Valley jim" beat the Yam
KEGS, 1 to 0, in nine innings, and lost
though he denied Griff's gladiators a
hit until the one overtime session.
Scott is the second American league
boxman to be euchred out of a no hit
ply him with a tally in the regulation
rounds. The same unfortunate exper-
fence happened to Tom Hughes of the
Yankees in a game with the Maps in
1910.
Every American league team won
one or more / to 0 games in the first
six weeks of the campaign this year
and every club save Washington lost at
White Sox have figured in eight 1 to o
games, the Red Sox in five, the Maps in
three and the Senator's, White Ele-
plants, Tigers. Yankees and Browns
won the most 1 to % games-each
three; Chicago has lost the most-fve.
On May IA no less than three l to 0
games were played in the American
into overtime, Philadelphia downing
Cleveland in thirteen innings and
