How hard the managers IN the Ma

last season to build up strong pitch
ing STATS is shown By the fact
that in both circuits no less than
a total of 203 twirlers took part in
championship games. That means
an avearge of nearly thirteen pitch
ersl for each of the games for each
of the sixteen clubs in the two cir
cults 1t also means that there were
enough pitchers at zone time or AN
other in the two leagues during the
season to Imake hp twenty two com
plete teams and have players left ov-

Athletics made new record in the
number of pitchers used by major
league club, having employed twenty
seven men who took part in at least
one game.
From that number the pitching
STATS went down to eight, which was
the strength of the two pennant Win
ners, the Red Sox and Phillies. The
performances of the extremes of
ability were hurled by RUDE Mar
guard when he was with the Giants
and Haas, the schoolboy pitcher tried
out by Connie Mac. Marquard was
the only major-league twirler to pitch
no.hit game, having turned the
trick, against Brooklyn on April Is.
Haas performance was against the
Yankees when he issued sixteen pas
ses and made three wild pitches in
one game. There were ten games in
the American league in which pitch
ers allowed their opponents only one
hit. There were nine such games in
the National league. Alexander was
the leader of the pitchers who came
close to the Hall of Fame by pitching
four of the one-hit variety His OPP
ponents were Boston, Brooklyn, New
York and t. Louis. The other twirlers
of the National league to pitch one
hit games were Nehf and Tyler, both
of Boston, against Brooklyn; Toney
of Cincinnati against Boston; Mead

and Ames of St. Louis against the

Metallic Cartridge Company in
Bridgeport,
The Angles were married in SIAM
ford on September q, 1898. They
separated in October, 1902, and in
February, 1911 Mrs. Angle obtained
a divorce on the ground Of dessertion.
Her husband did not contest the suit.
Mrs Angle has greatly improved IN
hcclh since her trial She visits
irlcaas hore frequently and the
knowledge Of her coming marriage is
more or less general among them, al
though none will say anything defin-
ate about the date or place Mr..
Angle says it will take place Satur-
day.
Late on the night of June %, 1914,
a policeman found Waldo X. Ballou,
an aged ex-city Councilman of STAN
ford, known to be sutton for the
hand of Mrs. Helen M. Angle, dying,
his head badly crushed, on the steps
of the Rippowan Building, Stamford.
Mrs. Angle, daughter of retired con
tractor and real estate man said to
be wealthy. had a music studio on the
third floor of the building and Ballou
had been calling on her that night.

Cured about an hour after he was
found by the policeman, Mrs. Angle
was first held as a material witness
without bail, released for eight days,
arrested again, and again released
on bail until, on March 3, 1915, she
was placed on trial at Bridgeport
on the charge of having murdered
Ballou
During the trial, which lasted six
teen days, Mrs. Angle contended on
the stand that Ballou had had a few
drinks with her and after kissing her

and had carried him to the street
door with the hope that fresh air
would revive him. The jury delber-

then brought in verdict of acquittal
