Big Six Has Pitched Two No-Hit Games Other Star. Pitchers Have
 Good Records

The great Rig Six has turned in 20 or more victories every one of these years Coming next. Walter Johson, Moraocai Brown and George Mullin have had five such seasons Indeed. Matty's record is better than that. as he had won 20 or more games for round dozen of years.- The Giants, fin the National and the White Sox, in the American. have had 7, the greatest number of consistent slab winners. In 10 seasons 20 of McGraws moundsmen have won 20 or more games for him, while in Chicago old Roman comiskey has paid salaries to II ath- letes who have done similarly. | Records of the last 10 years show that Mathewson in the National and Walsh, Johnson.
