was made by Peter Scott, 2:O5A,
driven by Murphy, his total on the
Grand Circuit being s96,2S5, against

American League base running record,
held by Milan. Mian's record was
eightv-eight steals, whereas Cobb ran
the count up to ninety-six. It was
great year for Tyrus the Untsmed, as
he also broke Wagner's eight-year
league leading record.
In the National Larry Doyle at last
supplanted Jake Dsubert, who had LED
his circuit the two years before. Larry
had q nip-and-tuck finish with Luderus,
the big Philly first baseman, but the
Giant captain slipped on in front with
an average Of 800 by some fine free
hitting in his last two games.
Benny Kauf again led the Feds at
bat. with Lee Magee giving his team
mate a hard fight. Kauff had fine
year, proving that his 1914 work was
no one-year flash.
Walter Johnson was the best pitcher
in the American League, as Joe Wood
ranked above him, failed to work IN
half as many games. Shore, Foster
and Ruth had the best averages IN
games won and lost. In the National
League Alexander was king Of the tribe,
